MLB’s trade deadline is rapidly approaching on Aug. 1 and with less than a week remaining, it’s sometimes hard to figure out which teams are the buyers and which are the sellers.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Baltimore rookie Colton Cowser hit a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning after helping to throw out the potential go-ahead run in the eighth, lifting the surging Orioles to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night.

Lowe made it 4-1 with a sixth-inning solo drive off reliever George Sorian. The Rays improved to 5-14 in July.

Miami’s Luis Arraez went 0 for 4 and had his major league-best batting average drop from .379 to .375.

The Marlins have lost nine of 10 overall, and dropped 10 straight on the road. Miami is 2-19 against the Rays, dating to May 14, 2019.

Yandy Díaz doublein two runs during a three-run second off Edward Cabrera (5-6). The first baseman left the game in the third with left groin tightness that occured when he made an extended stretch on second baseman Lowe’s throw after fielding Jacob Stallings’ grounder.

Cabrera, making his second start after missing five weeks a right shoulder impingement, was pulled after two innings and 53 pitches due to a blister on his right middle finger. He gave up three runs and four hits.

Miami got to 3-1 in the third when Joey Wendle scored on Glasnow’s wild pitch.

THIRD-BASE MISADVENTURES

Tampa Bay had three runners thrown out at third. Randy Arozarena was caught after straying down the line on a third-inning single, while Manuel Margot was unsuccessful in a bid to advance on a groundout during the fourth. Luke Raley was thrown out trying for a triple in the seventh.

MOVING DAY

Miami acquired left-hander Jose Castillo from San Diego for cash and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville.
