The Orioles’ offense was led by Jackson Holliday, who drove in the first four runs of the game. In the third inning, he drove in Chadwick Tromp with a double, and then in the fifth, he hit his ninth home run of the season, a 402-foot hit with two runners on base that extended the lead to 4-0. Holliday finished the day with a 5-3 performance, adding his seventh game with three hits so far this year.Coby Mayo and Cedric Mullins also contributed with singles in the fifth inning. Ramón Urías added a run batted in, while Dominicans Ramón Laureano and Gary Sánchez added hits in the victory. Texas’ opener, Patrick Corbin (4-7), struggled against the Orioles’ offense, allowing five runs and nine hits in five innings. Rogers, who arrived in Baltimore in a trade from the Marlins last July, continues to seek to regain the form that led him to be runner-up for Rookie of the Year in 2021.

I feel healthy and confident. This city has welcomed me well, and today I wanted to give something back to them from the hill

Regarding the catchers, the Orioles were forced to make changes. Chadwick Tromp, recently promoted from Triple-A, debuted with a key double after Maverick Handley was placed on the concussion list due to a collision on Sunday. Starting catcher Adley Rutschman is also out with an injury.
