Rays beat Orioles to end 11-game skid

BALTIMORE — The Tampa Bay Rays ended their 11-game losing streak Monday night, using a 15-hit attack and an effective pitching performance by David Price to beat the Baltimore Orioles, 8-4.

The defending AL champs avoided becoming the first World Series team in history to lose 12 in a row the following year. Rookie Reid Brignac had a career-high four hits -- his first big league homer, two doubles and a single -- and B.J. Upton also homered.
