http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/juice-rays-score-six-ninth-inning-end-orioles-085852257.html
Last night, down 6-4 in the 9th inning, the Rays rallied following a Kelly Johnson homer & ended up defeating the Orioles 10-6. The win not only snapped Jim Johnson's streak of 35-consecutive saves but it killed a little known O's streak of wins with a lead after seven.
For 109-straight games, the Orioles had not lost a game with the lead after seven innings. A very impressive streak, especially in a game where finishing is so crucial to a team's success. The best part about baseball is it doesn't take much; one hit and suddenly the opponent is rallying.
The Rays will look for the series sweep today.
