Henderson heating up with 4-for-4 night as O's snap Rays' win streak at 9

▪

Gunnar Henderson went four-for-four with a two-run home run, a double, and two singles to lift the Baltimore Orioles to a six-to-five victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Friday night. The win halted Tampa Bay's nine-game winning streak in the opening contest of a four-game series. Henderson, whose performance signaled an offensive breakout following an extended slump, drove in the decisive insurance run in the eighth inning with his twentieth home run of the season. Baltimore right-hander Chris Bassitt pitched five and one-third innings, allowing two runs in his return from back surgery. Dylan Beavers added a tiebreaking two-run single in the seventh inning, and Cam Sanders secured his second save despite a late ninth-inning rally by the Rays. The victory improved Baltimore's standing on their current road trip while dropping Tampa Bay to eighteen wins in their last twenty-three games.
