Rogers shuts down Rangers and Holliday hits a three-run homer in Orioles' 6-0
win
BALTIMORE (AP) --- Trevor Rogers allowed three hits in a career-high eight
innings in his home debut, Jackson Holliday hit a three-run homer and drove in
the game's first four runs and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 6-0
on Monday night with the game temperature reaching 100 degrees.
Rogers (1-0) made his third start and turned in the longest outing by an Oriole
this season, throwing 72 of his 101 pitches for strikes. He struck out four and
didn't issue a walk.
Holliday's run-scoring double followed Chadwick Tromp's first hit with
Baltimore, a two-out double in the third off Texas starter Patrick Corbin (4-7).
Coby Mayo and Cedric Mullins had consecutive one-out singles in the fifth and
Holliday hit his ninth homer one out later, a 402-foot shot the opposite way to
left-center field for a 4-0 lead. He finished 3 for 5 for his seventh three-hit
game this season.
Corbin allowed five runs on nine hits in five innings.
Rogers --- the 13th overall pick in 2017 --- was the runner-up to the Reds'
Jonathan India for NL Rookie of the Year in 2021 after going 7-8 with a 2.64
ERA and 157 strikeouts in 133 innings. He had a 7-24 record with the Marlins
after that before they traded him to Baltimore in July for Connor Norby and
Kyle Stowers.
Tromp was called up from Triple-A Norfolk before the game to replace catcher
Maverick Handley, who was placed on the 7-day concussion list after colliding
with the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. on a play at home in a 4-2 loss Sunday.
Starting catcher Adley Rutschman was placed on the 10-day injured list on
Saturday with a left oblique strain.
Key moment Gunnar Henderson drew an intentional walk in the seventh to give the Orioles a team-record 156 straight games with a base on balls. The old mark was set spanning the 1955-56 seasons. Key stat Entering play, Orioles opponents were batting an AL-high .213 with two strikes.
