Orioles go deep in the heart of Texas

ARLINGTON -- The Orioles reminded the Rangers just how quickly a power-packed lineup can transform a game Friday night, scoring five runs in a span of only 11 pitches in the seventh inning as they mashed five homers in the final three frames of an 11-5 victory.

The Orioles got four homers in the nine-run seventh, including two from Mark Trumbo. He hit a two-run shot off Texas starter Martin Perez's final pitch of the night, and after J.J. Hardy singled, Jonathan Schoop hit another two-run blast off reliever Tom Wilhelmsen.
