----The Rays just turned a 1-6-3 double play as Andino hit a sharp liner deflected by Hellickson. He recovered. Threw to second. Short stop bobbled in transition, but still got Andino out at first. 

We are picking up from the bottom of the fourth inning as the Tampa Bay Rays versus the Baltimore Orioles. The Rays are currently up 1-0.

Jeremy Hellickson of the Rays is pitching a shutout so far. He has four strikeouts while giving up just three hits and one walk through 4 innings. His breaking ball has been keeping Oriole players off balance. Hellickson just got young star Manny Machado to ground into the double play as the Orioles were threatening in the bottom of the fourth.

The Rays gave Hellickson the one-run support on a sacrifice fly by Jeff Keppinger in the top of the fourth. Ben Zobrist came around to score to give the Rays their slim lead. 

The Orioles have Wei-Yin Chen on the mound. Despite giving up the only run so far, he is pitching a great game. He has given up five hits, one earned run and has five strikeouts with no walks. 

The Rays are trying to prevent a sweep as they have dropped back-to-back games to the Orioles at Camden Yards.

With a loss, they could wind up as far as four games behind in their hunt for the Wild Card and ultimately will lose ground for the AL East title as they are also finding themselves alive in that race.
