					<description><![CDATA[The Baltimore Orioles bolstered their injury-depleted infield by acquiring Tim Beckham from the Tampa Bay Rays for a minor league pitcher just before the trading deadline expired. Beckham is batting .259 in 87 games with the Rays. He&#8217;s played second base, third and shortstop. The Orioles need a backup because shortstop J.J. Hardy and utility infielder Ryan Flaherty are on the disabled list. Tampa Bay received right-hander Tobias Myers in the deal. Although Baltimore started the day with a 50-54&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sonny Gray struck out six pitching into the seventh in what might have been his final home start in Oakland if the club tries to deal him before the trade deadline, and the Athletics rallied in the fifth inning to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-2 on Wednesday. Matt Joyce hit a towering homer to the right-field seats in the eighth for Oakland. Rajai Davis doubled home Oakland&#8217;s first run in the fifth then Joyce followed with a tying sacrifice fly before Davis scurried home&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Tampa Bay hasn&#8217;t been so close to first place this late in the season since 2013, and Rays manager Kevin Cash wants his players to soak it up and enjoy every minute of it. The roar that emerged from the clubhouse following Tampa Bay&#8217;s ninth-inning comeback was proof that the Rays are doing just that. Adeiny Hechavarria and Shane Peterson hit consecutive two-out RBI singles off closer Santiago Casilla in the ninth inning and Tampa Bay rallied to beat the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When the time comes to look back on the 2017 season, the Tampa Bay Rays should remember June as a month filled with missed opportunities. While they can still make some noise in the second half of the season, they missed a good chance to establish themselves as a bona fide contender for a playoff spot. Heading into June, Tampa Bay had every reason to be optimistic. They finished May with a winning record, including a 10-4 mark on the&#8230;]]></description>

Smith had a bunt single leading off the seventh and went to third after reliever Daniel Coulombe (0-1) was charged with an error for an errant throw to first that ended up in the right-field corner. Tampa Bay went ahead 5-4 when Corey Dickerson hit a sacrifice&#8230;]]></description>
