 BALTIMORE (AP) - Jeff Conine had already been traded when he stepped to the plate in the eighth inning. He didn't know about the deal that sent him from the Baltimore Orioles to the Philadelphia Phillies, which was agreed upon one inning earlier. All he knew was that the Orioles needed a run to pull even with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Conine delivered an RBI double in what turned out to be his final at-bat with Baltimore, and the Orioles went on to beat the Devil Rays 5-4 Sunday.
The trade that sent Conine and cash to the Phillies for a player to be named, was announced after the game.
