Bats Fly Against Orioles 14-3

Harrison gets the win behind the Rangers 14 runs on 19 hits. Looking at the Rangers box score, everyone had a hit except for David Murphy who went in as a pinch runner for the slowed up Adrian Beltre. The Orioles did look a little fatigued from the day before beating the Boston Red Sox in 17 innings 9 to 6. The standout player for the Rangers in this game was Brandon Snyder who went 3 for 5 and had a career high 6 runs batted in. Matt Harrison pitched a quality start in 7 innings, giving up 3 earned runs, on 6 hits. All three runs came off two separate home run shots. The first was a solo shot by Robert Andino, and the other being a two run homer by Wilson Betemit. Game 2 of this four game series continues tonight when the Rangers send out former closer Neftali Feliz who is sporting a 3.81 ERA in his first season in the starting rotation with a (1-1) record. The Baltimore Orioles will send to the mound Jake Arrieta who is (2-2) and is coming off an 8 inning shut out against the New York Yankees in his last start. Tonight's opening pitch is scheduled for 6:05 Texas time and will be played at Camden Yards.
