The Orioles’ startling rebuild hit another gear this week as they won three of four games at Tampa Bay to wrest first place in baseball’s toughest division – the AL East – away from the Rays.

At 61-38, Baltimore has the top record in the AL and is second only to Atlanta. And the Orioles are in first place after the All-Star break for the first time since August 2016.
