Two days of lamenting that their explosive offense couldn’t keep them undefeated forever ended with the Orioles’ 11-5 win Friday over the Texas Rangers.
A jaw-dropping, nine-run seventh inning that saw designated hitter Mark Trumbo become the first player in team history to hit two home runs in one inning was the difference.
Home runs by second baseman Jonathan Schoop and right fielder Nolan Reimold also contributed to that game-winning inning, which erased a 5-1 deficit that the Rangers had built in the second inning off Orioles starter Vance Worley.
