On paper, at least, the Rangers have the better pitcher. But, can that be enough to overcome being on the short end almost everywhere else?
In the first inning, Baylor swiped his 30th base of the season and scored on a Johnson single. The play also saw Grich score on an error. Powell then singled but Johnson was thrown out at home trying to score from second. That has happened a lot this series. The next batter was Robinson and he hit a 2 run homer to reach 40 RBI on the season. The final tally in the first was 4 runs, 5 hits and 2 errors.
Maddox left the game with an injury in the third inning.
After three: Baltimore 4 Texas 0.
Harrah put Texas on the board in the sixth with a solo home run.
After six: Baltimore 4 Texas 1.
Mike Paul pitched the eighth for Texas.
In the ninth, Howard got an RBI double but it wasn't enough as the Orioles completed the sweep.
Final score: Baltimore 4 Texas 2.
