Baltimore Upended, 9-7, by Tampa Bay
Yordan Alvarez helped his team muscle past the Baltimore Wildcats, 9-7. In the game, the Tampa Bay designated hitter went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The winning pitcher was fan favorite Max Scherzer. He tossed 99 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. The win puts Tampa Bay at 87-49 this season.

A key moment came with one out in the top of the third. That's when Alvarez hit a fastball from Casey Mize for a run-scoring single, putting Tampa Bay up, 2-1.

"We ground out the win," said Alvarez. "That's all that matters."
