The Orioles’ bullpen, bats and defense all faltered in the late innings Saturday night, wasting Dean Kremer’s gem in a fourth straight loss.

It was hot, with a Rays’ home-game record 93 degrees at first pitch, and a feels-like of 105. It was wet, with enough rain falling, and lightning flashing, for a 2 1/2-hour-plus delay between the sixth and seventh innings.

A fast start tonight by the Orioles would have to set a pace that didn’t let the Rays pass them. It was a dangerous little game that was destined to cause a crash.Three of the first four batters reached and the Orioles scored twice before the bats were tamed again,

Speaking of pitchers that have gotten better, Trevor Rogers will head to the hill today. The lefty has appeared in six MLB games this year and has a 1.53 ERA over 35.1 innings. He is yet to allow more than three runs in any one start, and has allowed exactly zero runs in three of his outings.

The last start against the Baltimore Orioles for Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot ended in disaster. On Sunday, he has a chance to show it was just a bad outing.
