Baltimore Orioles

2-3, 2-3 Home

Rangers beat Orioles 8-5 after neither deGrom nor Eflin makes it through the 5th

Danny Jansen's home run extends Texas Rangers' lead

Jacob deGrom allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings in his first start of the season. The Texas right-hander was scratched Saturday because of neck stiffness. He struck out seven without a walk against Baltimore, but he allowed a solo shot to Pete Alonso — his ex-teammate with the Mets — in the fourth and a two-run double to Gunnar Henderson in the fifth.

Baltimore had to go to its bullpen even earlier when Zach Eflin left in the fourth because of elbow discomfort.

Ezequiel Duran and Corey Seager also went deep for the Rangers, who have won four straight after losing their opener. This is their first time starting 4-1 or better since 2012.

Duran opened the scoring in the third with a solo homer off Eflin before Alonso tied it with his first homer since signing with the Orioles this past offseason. Eflin was lifted with two on and two out in the fourth. Reliever Grant Wolfram got out of that jam but then allowed runs in the fifth on Wyatt Langford's RBI triple and Seager's run-scoring single.

Henderson tied it at 3-3 and chased deGrom, but the Rangers quickly went back ahead in the sixth when Yennier Cano (0-1) allowed an RBI single to Brandon Nimmo.

Jansen, who had already singled and doubled, made it 7-3 an inning later with a drive off Yaramil Hiraldo. Seager hit a solo homer in the ninth.

Taylor Ward hit a two-run double with two outs in the ninth for the Orioles — his fourth hit of the game.

Cole Winn (1-0) got his first big league victory in relief.

Up next The Orioles send Trevor Rogers (1-0, 0.00 ERA) to the mound for Wednesday's series finale. Nathan Eovaldi (0-1, 9.64) is expected to start for Texas.
