BALTIMORE (AP) — Joey Wendle hit a pair of homers, including a grand slam, and drove in six runs to lead the Tampa Bay Rays over the Baltimore Orioles 12-8 Sunday for a three-game sweep. The AL East-leading Rays have beaten Baltimore 12 straight times, tying a franchise record they set against the Orioles in 2008. Archer had to leave his previous outing in the second inning on Aug. 22 against the Yankees because of a hip issue. The Rays took an early 2-0 lead against Orioles rookie starter Spenser Watkins (2-7) on a pair of RBI singles by Randy Arozarena and Wendle. Orioles: RHP Chris Ellis (1-0, 3.86) will make his second start for the Orioles against Toronto on Monday night.
