Albert Súarez entered tonight’s game in need of a decent showing and the 34-year-old delivered. Súarez exceeded expectations with six shutout innings, and the Orioles overcame a wild night from relievers to secure a 2-1 win over the Rangers.
Súarez limited Texas to three hits and never faced a true scoring threat. He struck out two, walked none, and exited after throwing 49 of 87 pitches for strikes.
Surprisingly, the flyball pitcher retired the side with three ground balls in the first. He posted a clean second, and passed his only real test in the third inning.
