ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Joey Rickard hit a three-run home run and Chris Tillman gave up two hits in 6 2/3 innings Wednesday night to help the Baltimore Orioles break a three-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rickard's second home run of the season came off Matt Moore in the fifth inning after Nolan Reimold walked and Jonathan Schoop singled. It was only the third home run in eight games for the Orioles, who have scored just five runs in their last four games.

Tillman (2-1) tied a career high with nine strikeouts. Both of his wins have come against Tampa Bay.

Darren O'Day, Brad Brach and Zach Britton finished for Baltimore, with Britton pitching the ninth for his fifth save.

Moore (1-2) lost his second straight start after going seven starts without a loss, dating to last season. He gave up three runs and three hits and struck out nine in seven innings.
