Orioles at Rangers, Aug. 5

3rd & 7 37yd

Both Chris Davis and Adam Jones are not in the starting lineup for today's series finale in Texas. Manager Buck Showalter said Davis is "banged up" and should be back in the lineup on Tuesday against the Rays. Jones is getting a normal Sunday off. #orioles

Orioles' Adam Jones doesn't like to talk much about his community work, but he just made an exception dlvr.it/QdvVZY https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dj3DnT1U8AUuuMV.jpg

Big bash. Austin Wynns just launched a mammoth fly ball off Rangers pitcher Drew Hutchison and somewhere Earl Weaver smiled. Three-run homer puts the O's up, 4-2, in the second inning. #orioles

That was Wynns third homer of the year and it doubled his RBI total from three to six. #orioles

Rookie Yefri Rodriguez is having his struggles. Gave up two in the first inning and now has allowed one in the second on a leadoff walk, double and a sacrifice bly by Shin-Soo Choo. Still in trouble. #orioles

Elvis Andrus bounces out to second base to bring home Drew Robinson and we are tied here, 4-4, in the second inning. The first two innings are taking about an hour and it's 95 degrees out there. Long day ahead. #orioles

Rodriguez continues to struggle. Broken-bat single by Joey Gallo scores Rougned Odor and the Rangers lead, 5-4. Tanner Scott warming in the pen. Shouldn't take too long in this heat. #orioles

Yefri Ramirez is done in the bottom of the second. He threw 69 pitches and got five outs. Allowed five hits, walked five and left with the bases loaded. #orioles

Sorry, it's spelled Yefry with a "Y." There's a quip in there somewhere, but he's a nice kid and that was very painful to watch. #orioles

Orioles notes: Chris Davis is 'banged up' and gets another day off; Jones rests, too dlvr.it/QdvbLZ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dj3K8K0U4AAjSnI.jpg

Here's a stat you won't want to miss. So far on this road trip, Orioles starters have given up 28 runs in 23 2/3 innings. That works out to a lofty 10.65 ERA. #orioles

Mark Trumbo is having another memorable game. He singled home the first run of the game, got caught in a long rundown, and just hit a two-run homer to give the Orioles a 6-5 lead in the third inning. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 8/5/2018 8:28:39 PM
Tanner Scott has pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings so far. That's already his longest performance in the major leagues. #orioles

Second baseman Jonathan Villar, who has been hitting the ball hard ever since he got here, got into one in the fifth inning. His first Orioles home run makes it 7-5 O's. #orioles

Villar is now 7 for 16 (.438) since moving into the lineup. He batted leadoff in the first three games and is batting third today. Guess he figured he ought to hit a home run if he was going to bat in Manny Machado's spot. #orioles

Renato Nunez just delivered his 11th hit in the last six games. He's 11 for 20 over that period. He also just got himself thrown out at second Sunday and made two errors over the same period, but all is forgiven of a guy batting .550 for the week. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 8/5/2018 9:24:06 PM
Correction: Renato Nunez has 11 hits in 23 at-bats over the past 5-plus games. That's a .478 average, which is still pretty good. #orioles

Nice outing for Donnie Hart, who pitches 1 2/3 scoreless innings and strikes out three. Miguel Castro now in the game. O's still lead, 7-5. #orioles

Mark Trumbo is on a tear. He homered for the second time in the seventh inning and has tied his O's career high with five RBI. His overall career high is six RBI. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 8/5/2018 9:48:56 PM
Mark Trumbo has an eight-game hitting streak and has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games. #orioles

Trumbo's two homers help Orioles beat Rangers, 9-6, avoid sweep in Texas dlvr.it/Qdw4K2 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dj3wPvZVAAEfbbJ.jpg
