September 14 - The Tampa Bay Rays visit the Baltimore Orioles for a four-game series beginning Thursday with first place in the American League East on the line. The Orioles have won six of the first nine meetings between the teams, including two of three at home. Baltimore needs just one win in the upcoming series to clinch the season series and a tiebreaker advantage. "Everyone knows it's a big series," Rays reliever Robert Stephenson said. Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish (11-6, 3.03 ERA) will oppose Rays right-hander Aaron Civale (7-3, 2.96) in the series opener.
