ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) --- Pete Alonso had his first two-homer game with the
Orioles and drove in four runs as Baltimore broke out of a scoring slump and
beat the Texas Rangers 10-5 on Sunday.
Texas native Colton Cowser and Tyler O'Neill also homered for the Orioles
(57-61), who lost 2-1 in each of the first two games of the series and had
scored just three runs during a three-game losing streak. Baltimore is two
games out in the AL wild-card race.
Baltimore's Yaramil Hiraldo (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief for
his first major league win.
The Rangers (59-59), holding the final AL wild card and second in the West, had
a four-game winning streak snapped.
Alonso launched a two-run shot high off the left field foul pole in the second
inning off Kumar Rocker (4-9). He hit another two-run homer to left center in
the fourth inning off Jordan Montgomery.
It was the 27th career multihomer game for Alonso, who signed as a free agent
last December as a five-time All-Star in seven seasons with the New York Mets.
After the Orioles scored five runs off Rocker in two innings, Texas' Brandon
Nimmo hit a three-run homer off Baltimore starter Cade Povich in the third.
Rocker yielded six runs in three-plus innings after allowing five total in his
three previous starts.
Montgomery allowed three runs on six hits, including two homers, and one walk.
He threw 79 pitches in four innings in his first major league appearance since
September 2024 with Arizona. He missed last season following Tommy John
surgery, signed with Texas as a free agent in mid-February and was activated
off the 60-day injured list last Friday.
