Pete Alonso made his debut as a two-home run hero with the Orioles, contributing four runs in a 10-5 victory over the Texas Rangers at Arlington, Texas. This marked the first time Alonso had achieved this feat with the Orioles. Texas native Colton Cowser and Tyler O’Neill added to the Orioles' offensive effort with their own home runs.
The Orioles, who had lost their first two games of the series, had been struggling to score, with just three runs in their last three outings. Their scoring slump was broken as they now sit two games back in the AL wild-card race. In relief pitching, Yaramil Hiraldo made his major league debut, securing his first win with two scoreless innings.
However, the Rangers, who held the final AL wild card spot, saw their four-game winning streak come to an end. The day marked a significant milestone for Alonso, who now has 27 career multihomer games. After the Orioles' strong offensive display, Texas' Brandon Nimmo responded with a three-run homer of his own in the third inning.
Despite allowing six runs in three-plus innings, Texas' Jordan Montgomery still managed to throw 79 pitches in his first major league appearance since September 2024.
