BALTIMORE — Zack Littell and four relievers combined on a five-hit shutout, Jonny DeLuca hit a two-run homer and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-0. Littell and Corbin Burnes were locked in a scoreless duel Sunday until the sixth inning, when DeLuca followed a leadoff walk with his sixth home run in 289 at-bats this season. That was enough to outdo a struggling Baltimore offense that scored only three runs in the three-game series. Tampa Bay took two of three from the Orioles, who are chasing the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East.
