June 27, 2014, Camden Yards (Baltimore). Orioles vs Rays, Floppy Hat Give-A-Way.

Friday June 27, 2014, was the infamous Floppy Hat Give-A-Way day at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.  The Orioles have a Floppy Hat night every year (or at least as long as I can remember).  The day's game was against the Tampa Bay Rays, and was the second game of a double header (the Orioles lost game 1).

Floppy Hat June 27, 2014

The Floppy Hat was given out to the first 20,000 fans 21 or older (though I'm sure plenty people under 21 got them).  Chris Tillman was the starting pitcher for the orioles and was looking for win number 7. 

Lucky for the Orioles, Chris Tillman would get win number 7.  Tillman gave up a home run in the 2nd inning but was lights out for the rest of the game.  In the bottom of the 2nd, the Orioles would come back to score a run with a Nick Hundley fly ball to Left Field and JJ Hardy on 2nd.  Nick Hundley would homer in the bottom of the 6th bringing the Orioles to a 2-1 lead.  Nelson Cruz added to his home run list with number 25 in the bottom of the 7th with Adam Jones on earning Cruz 2 more RBIs.

Zach Britton came on in a save situation in the 9th and put away the Rays, earning himself his 10th save.  Orioles won 4-1.
