NOTES

BY JON MEOLI

baltimore — S tarting a runner on second base in extra innings was a rule change put in place for the novel coronavirus-shortened 2020 season to end games quickly and add some strategy. It served no such purpose at Camden Yards on Saturday night until the Baltimore Orioles finally took advantage in the 11th inning on a walk-off single by Pat Valaika to give them a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The experience itself was unprecedented for the Orioles, who hadn’t yet gone to extra innings under these rules. The baseball that followed would be unusual anywhere. Tampa Bay began the 10th inning with first baseman Ji-Man Choi at second base, but when Yoshi Tsutstugo hit a deep flyball to the left field warning track, Cedric Mullins caught it and threw him out tagging at third base. Hanser Alberto began the 10th on second base for the Orioles and advanced on a groundout by Antho- ny Santander. But when Renato Núñez grounded to shortstop with the infield in, Alberto was running on contact and was out by 10 feet at home. Some defensive changes in the 11th for the Orioles put players in odd spots, with third baseman Rio Ruiz in left field for the first time in his career and third catcher Bryan Holaday at first base for the first time in the majors since 2015. Holaday made a diving catch on a line drive from Manuel Margot that easily would have scored Tampa Bay’s runner with one out and doubled him off second base to end the inning. — Baltimore Sun

Valaika’s RBI single

in 11th wins it for O’s
