The Baltimore Orioles are playing on the road tonight in Major League Baseball action, taking on the Texas Rangers. A double and single made it 7-5 before Andrew Faulkner replaced Wilhelmsen with two outs and a runner on. “We felt Martin was one good sinker away from getting a ground-ball double play”, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.
Trumbo is the first player in Orioles franchise history to hit five homers in his first 10 games with the team, also from Elias Sports Bureau. Keone Kela and Sam Dyson followed with a scoreless inning apiece, and Shawn Tolleson worked around a two-out single in the ninth to pick up his third save.
“Just being able to have the type of defense we had today definitely saved a lot of runs in a sense”, Hamels said.
The leadoff home run was calculated at 456 feet, the third-longest home run hit off Bumgarner.

The Orioles scored nine times in the seventh, including seven against Rangers relievers to even the series with an 11-5 win Friday night at Globe Life Park. “That’s why those guys are in such demand and the Rangers wanted him”. Gallardo was fortunate to walk away with a no-decision on Monday after allowing five runs and seven hits in five innings against Boston. No matter what happens, you’ve got to go out and make another pitch and make another pitch. With the bases loaded, Bryan Holaday was hit by a pitch to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead.
Rangers: RHP Yu Darvish said he’s “not quite there yet” in several aspects of his pitching as he closes in on a return from Tommy John surgery. Vance Worley gets the nod, and he’s 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA and five strikeouts this season.
