(AP Photo/Stephanie Scarbrough) BALTIMORE (AP) — No lead is safe this year when the Baltimore Orioles face the Tampa Bay Rays. Certainly not with seven innings still to play. On June 18, Tampa Bay beat Baltimore 12-8 after the Orioles had taken an 8-0 lead in the top of the second. Then on Friday night — nine days later — it was the Rays who opened the scoring with six runs in the second. Only for Baltimore to storm back and rout Tampa Bay 22-8. Advertisement 'I'm proud of our hitters,' Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said. 'We were on the other side of this not too long ago.' According to information released by the team from the Elias Sports Bureau, Baltimore became the first team in either the American or National League to win by at least 14 runs after trailing by six. On a drizzly night at Camden Yards, the Orioles produced an offensive deluge, falling one run shy of the team record since moving to Baltimore. Gunnar Henderson and Gary Sanchez each had four hits and a homer. Colton Cowser doubled three times. He and Ramón Laureano each scored four runs. With the Orioles down 6-0 in the second, Coby Mayo delivered a two-run double to start the comeback. When he came to the plate in the eighth, Baltimore led 20-8 and the Rays had infielder José Caballero pitching. Mayo took him deep for his first career homer to complete the scoring. Advertisement 'An awesome moment obviously, no matter who it's off of,' Mayo said. 'Really cool thing.' The last time two teams overcame deficits of at least six runs against each other was in 2023, according to Sportradar. Those two games also involved the Rays and happened in even closer proximity. On May 7 of that year, Tampa Bay trailed 6-0 before beating the New York Yankees 8-7 in 10 innings. On May 13, the Yankees fell behind 6-0 but came back to beat the Rays 9-8. Baltimore's 14 extra-base hits (nine doubles, a triple and four homers) set a team record since 1954, when the Orioles began playing in Baltimore. This game came after Tampa Bay allowed one run total in a three-game sweep of Kansas City. And after the Orioles had been no-hit at least into the seventh inning in three of their previous five games. Advertisement They had 21 hits in this one. 'It was a lot of fun,' Cowser said. 'That's what this team's capable of, and being able to go out there and have a game like that hopefully continues that motivation and confidence.' ___ AP MLB:

Ex-Yankees Starter Now Mentoring Young Player on Division Rival
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles have been having polar opposite seasons. The Yankees have looked like one of the best teams in baseball, while the Orioles have disappointed their fans and underachieved. The Orioles have Coby Mayo playing first base in the wake of Ryan Mountcastle's injury. Mayo had 73 starts at first base in the minor leagues, but playing the position in the big leagues is a different story. However, according to the Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich, May has a former Yankee mentoring him in Anthony Rizzo. "When I got drafted, (Rizzo) immediately wanted to start working out with me," Mayo told The Baltimore Sun's Weyrich. "He pushed to work out with me. He wanted to kind of get me in his corner, and it's been nice to have somebody like that, a potential Hall of Famer, World Series winner, a great guy in the clubhouse, just be with him and how hard he works. He's just an unbelievable person." BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - JUNE 01: Coby Mayo #16 of the Baltimore Orioles reacts after striking out against the Chicago White Sox at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 01, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - JUNE 01: Coby Mayo #16 of the Baltimore Orioles reacts after striking out against the Chicago White Sox at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 01, 2025 in Baltimore, said Rizzo is "in his corner," and he's a great person to lean on. Rizzo is a four-time Gold Glover, Platinum Glover and three-time All-Star. His time with the Yankees was not as glamorous. Some injuries derailed his tenure with the Yankees. Ultimately, he played in 370 games across four seasons, slashing .234/.326/.409. Mayo is a young player and has made most of his starts in the big leagues at third base. However, he is now having to adjust to being a first baseman until Mountcastle is back. Mountcastle is a trade candidate as the Orioles continue to struggle. If he is dealt, Mayo could see even more time at first base. Luckily for him, he has a strong relationship with one of the best first basemen of this generation.

Orioles' Jordan Westburg exits game against Yankees with left hand discomfort
NEW YORK (AP) — Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg exited Saturday's game against the New York Yankees in the third inning because of left hand discomfort. Westburg, who started at designated hitter, walked in the first inning and stole second during an at-bat by Gunnar Henderson. He was replaced in the third by rookie Coby Mayo. Advertisement The 26-year-old missed more than a month with a left hamstring strain before returning on June 10. Westburg is hitting .229 with seven homers and 17 RBIs in 34 games this season. He had 10 hits in his first 25 at-bats before going hitless in his next 14. Westburg was an All-Star last season, when he batted .264 with 18 homers and 63 RBIs. Earlier Saturday, the Orioles placed catcher Adley Rutschman on the injured list with a strained left oblique. Rutschman felt pain in batting practice Friday and is on the IL for the first time in his career. ___ More AP baseball:
