Wrapping up a 7-4 win

SARASOTA, Fla. - Chance Sisco hit the left field foul pole with two runners aboard in the bottom of the eighth inning to break a tie and give the Orioles a 7-4 win over the Rays.

Sisco replaced Caleb Joseph behind the plate and had only one at-bat. He made it count, belting his first home run after infield singles by Joey Rickard and Paul Janish.

"That was legit," said manager Buck Showalter. "I think that ball would have hit our foul pole in Baltimore. He's got that type of use of the field and as you get closer to the lines, it plays a lot shorter, so that helped."

Tyler Wilson retired all six batters he faced and Stefan Crichton stranded a runner in the ninth to record his third save while making the trip from the minor league camp.

Chris Lee threw 55 pitches in two innings while allowing two runs and five hits. He had four full counts.

"He had the pitch count to go back out there, but I didn't like the 55-58, somewhere in there in two innings," Showalter said. "Just couldn't finish some hitters off. It's a good indication of some things he's going to need to finish off to contribute, but I feel confident that he will.

"I thought he was a little better than last time. Obviously, he's crisp, but his command wasn't where it needs to be. He's got a chance to be a good one. Tonight was a good experience for him."

Wilson has allowed one run over five innings in his last two appearances. In the previous two, he surrendered eight runs and 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings.

"Tyler's had two or three good outings in a row against tougher competition," Showalter said. "He's a reliable guy. He's a guy who's easy to trust and a guy who, you know what you're going to get, especially if you can keep from using him too much.

"He's capable of doing some different roles that a good club needs to have done."

Zach Britton retired the side on three ground balls, shattering one bat and sending pieces of wood flying in all directions.

"He's going to lament the hard ground ball he gave up to second. That's just Zach," Showalter said. "I'm encouraged where he is."

Darren O'Day and Donnie Hart each threw an inning today at minor league camp, allowing them to work on back-to-back days.

"Darren and Donnie had good outings," Showalter said. "We just need to get Mychal Givens back in the fold."
