Corey Seager hit his third career grand slam to highlight an eight-run fourth inning in the surging Texas Rangers’ 12-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.
The Rangers came in averaging a major league-best 6.33 runs, and they showed why during a wild fourth inning that featured a two-run homer by Robbie Grossman, two hits apiece by Josh Jung and Josh Smith, and Seager’s bases-loaded shot to deep center.
Texas has won nine of 12 and to reach 32-18, the third-best record in the majors behind Tampa Bay and Baltimore. The Rangers lead the AL West after finishing fourth last year with 94 losses. The defeat blunted a nice run for the Orioles, who were coming off a trip in which they had three-game sweep of Toronto and took two of three from the Yankees. Showing off their new black City Connect uniforms before a crowd of 20,293 fans, Baltimore got a first-inning homer from Adley Rutschman before falling behind 10-1 in the fourth.
