Jacob deGrom strikes out 9 and Rangers beat Orioles for 4th win in a row
Jacob deGrom dominated the Baltimore Orioles, striking out nine in five innings, leading the Texas Rangers to a 5-1 victory on Saturday. This win marks deGrom's first victory in over a month and the Rangers' fourth consecutive triumph. The Rangers, currently at 59-58, moved above .500 with this win, coming off a six-game losing streak that had them out of the AL West lead.
They also found themselves within a half-game of the division lead after Houston's loss to San Diego. DeGrom's first start since indicating he wished to stay with Texas, he struck out half of the 18 batters he faced while walking just one. Corey Seager's three-run homer in the eighth inning helped secure the win for Texas. Baltimore starter Kyle Bradish faced 18 batters over six innings, striking out four without a walk.
Ezequiel Duran and Jackson Holliday contributed with a base hit each for the Orioles, with Holliday's 403-foot homer extending his hitting streak.
