A thud of a first half for the Texas Rangers, with a few exceptions, ended with a thud Sunday at Camden Yards.
Staked to a 4-0 lead, Mike Minor couldn’t keep it as the Baltimore Orioles scored one in the first and five in the third, an inning he couldn’t finish.
The offense, which produced three walks and a grand slam from its first five hitters, didn’t score again until the seventh. They had a chance to score in the ninth, but Carlos Tocci didn’t see third-base coach Tony Beasley throw up a stop sign.
