Orioles lose to Rangers, 1-0, in 10 innings after John Means’ dominance, base-running misfortune

Orioles left-hander John Means got back to his scoreless ways Sunday, but so did Texas Rangers right-hander Kyle Gibson as Baltimore missed a chance for a sweep, falling 1-0 in 10 innings.

The Orioles (7-9) began the top half of the inning with Maikel Franco placed at second base, per the league’s extra-inning rule. He moved to third when Ryan Mountcastle was denied extra bases on a diving catch by left fielder Willie Calhoun. Franco initially went back to the bag on pinch-hitter Trey Mancini’s line drive into right, thinking the ball might be caught, but it reached right fielder Adolis García on one hop for a single.
