Rangers Stumble Against Orioles in Baltimore, 11-2
The Texas Rangers faced a challenging game against the Baltimore Orioles, concluding with a 37-44 record for the Rangers and a 51-30 for the Orioles. The final score stood at 11-2 in favor of the home team, marking a significant disparity between the two teams' performances.
Throughout the game, the Rangers managed to accumulate 12 hits but struggled to convert these opportunities into runs, only scoring twice. Despite their efforts at bat, which included hitting one home run and achieving an on-base percentage (OBP) of .316, their performance was not enough to secure a win. Notably, Jose Adolis García contributed significantly with his batting prowess by hitting a home run and securing an RBI. On the other hand, Corey Seager also made notable contributions with an impressive .400 average and maintaining his OBP at .400.
Pitching proved to be one of the Rangers' major downfalls in this matchup. Jon Gray started on the mound but encountered difficulties early on, ending with an earned run average (ERA) of 14.4 over five innings pitched and allowing nine hits that led to eight earned runs. The bullpen didn't fare much better; Brock Burke's ERA soared to 18.0 after giving up three earned runs in just three innings pitched.
On defense, Marcus Semien faced challenges that impacted his fielding percentage (FPCT), contrasting sharply with most of his teammates who maintained FPCTs of 1.0 throughout the game.
The Orioles capitalized on their opportunities effectively throughout all nine innings by consistently adding runs to their tally across multiple innings including strong starts in both first and third innings where they scored three runs each time.
