Pete Alonso Hit a Go-Ahead Two-Run Homer as the Orioles Defeat the Rays 5-3

Pete Alonso hit his 30th home run on Friday to lead the Baltimore Orioles past the Tampa Bay Rays 5-3 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, snapping a four-game losing streak.
Rays catcher Kenny Piper hit his first career home run in the second inning, and Chandler Simpson's RBI single helped Tampa Bay build a 3-1 lead early before Baltimore rallied.
Baltimore starter Trevor Rogers struck out six over seven innings to earn the win, while Alonso's go-ahead 443-foot blast in the fifth inning extended his career-best hitting streak to 13 games.
The defeat ended the Rays' nine-game road winning streak. Rays LHP Shane McClanahan faces Orioles RHP Brandon Young on Saturday as the series continues at Camden Yards.
Alonso became the eighth Orioles player since 1954 to hit 30 home runs in his first season with the club. The American League-best Rays have lost six of their last eight games.
