It’s a shame Jorge Mateo and Kyle Gibson can’t play every game in GlobeLife Field. The Orioles shortstop went deep for the second game in a row and the O’s offense backed starter Gibson in a big way on the way to a 7-2 win over the Rangers.
Mateo’s two-run shot in the 3rd inning capped off another Orioles offensive explosion, as they chased Texas start Andrew Heaney after only 2.2 innings pitched. Dating back to August of last season, Mateo now has four home runs in his last four games in Arlington—with only two dingers at Camden Yards in that same time frame.
