Holliday, Jackson and O'Hearn homers carry the Baltimore Orioles to a 5-2 win over the Rays
The game at George M. Steinbrenner Field was delayed for 2 hours, 36 minutes before the seventh inning.
Holliday hit his 13th homer of the season on the second pitch of the game from Tampa Bay's Ryan Pepiot (6-8). Jackson opened a three-run third with his first home run of the season, and O'Hearn's shot in the sixth was his 12th of the season. Gunnar Henderson capped Baltimore's outburst in the third inning with a two-run single.
Trevor Rogers (3–1) allowed two runs on five hits over six innings while striking out three as the Orioles snapped a four-game skid. Closer Felix Bautista allowed his second run in his last 17 appearances in the ninth and got out of a bases-loaded jam by striking out Junior Caminero for his 19th save.
Caminero had an RBI single in the third inning and Danny Jansen hit a solo homer, his 11th, in the fourth for the Rays.
Ryan Pepiot (6–8) went six innings for Tampa Bay, giving up five runs on six hits. He struck out eight and walked one.
Baltimore interim manager Tony Mansolino was ejected for the first time in the third inning after outfielder Ramón Laureano was tossed following a strikeout.
Holliday's 373-foot leadoff homer set the tone for Baltimore, which had blown a late lead a night earlier. It was the Orioles' first homer of the three-game series.
The rain delay was the longest for a home game in Rays' history.
The Rays host the White Sox on Monday, with Shane Baz (8–5, 4.17 ERA) set to start.
The Orioles travel to Cleveland, where Tomoyuki Sugano (7–5, 4.44 ERA) takes the mound.

Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase reportedly placed on paid leave in connection with sports-gambling investigation
One of the biggest chips on the MLB trade market is being placed on paid leave just days before the deadline. All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase was reportedly placed on non-disciplinary paid leave in connection with an MLB sports-betting investigation, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. Clase is the second Guardians pitcher to be placed on paid leave while MLB looks into the situation. Starter Luis Ortiz was also put on paid leave in early July after suspicious bets were reportedly placed based on his performance. The Guardians have not lived up to expectations this season. After winning the American League Central with a 92-69 record last season, the team sits at 52-53 entering play Monday. Clase — one of the game's best closers — has still pitched well this season, posting a 3.23 ERA and 24 saves over 47 1/3 innings. This story will be updated.

Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase placed on paid leave in connection with MLB sports-gambling investigation
One of the biggest chips on the MLB trade market is being placed on paid leave just days before the deadline. All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave in connection with an MLB sports-betting investigation, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. The Guardians confirmed the news in a statement. The team was told that "no additional players or club personnel are expected to be impacted." The team added it would not comment further on the situation and will allow MLB to carry out its investigation into the matter. Clase is the second Guardians pitcher to be placed on paid leave while MLB looks into the situation. Starter Luis Ortiz was also put on paid leave in early July after suspicious bets were reportedly placed based on his performance. Ortiz reportedly came under fire after two of his pitches were flagged for suspicious betting activity. An unusual amount of action was placed on Ortiz opening an inning by either throwing a ball or hitting a batter in two separate games. In both instances, Ortiz started off those innings by throwing pitches nowhere near the strike zone. It's unclear what MLB found during its investigation that resulted in Clase being placed on leave. If Clase or Ortiz are found by MLB to have violated league rules, the pair could face a wide range of possible punishment. The league banned former infielder Tucupita Marcano for life in 2024 after he reportedly bet on his own team while injured. Other players who bet on baseball, but not on their own teams, were banned for a year and reinstated in June. Under MLB rules, players are not allowed to bet on baseball or softball, but can bet on other sports. The Guardians have not lived up to expectations this season. After winning the American League Central with a 92-69 record last season, the team sits at 52-53 entering play Monday. Clase — one of the game's best closers — pitched well this season, posting a 3.23 ERA and 24 saves over 47 1/3 innings. He was thought to be one of the premier names available at the trade deadline, though Monday's news makes it highly unlikely Clase will change teams ahead of the July 31 deadline.
