Orioles' Albert Suárez earned 2nd MLB save today. 1st came for Giants on 8/6/17. (8 years, 238 days apart) Per Elias Sports Bureau, the last to go that long between saves was Marcus Stroman, who earned 1st on 9/26/14 (Blue Jays) and 2nd on 9/17/24 (Yankees) (9 years, 357 days).

What does Orioles RHP Albert Suárez think of ABS after this challenge resulted in a game-ending strikeout for him? "I think I like it more after what happened today," Suárez said with a smile.

The Orioles were the 1st team in MLB history to win on a walk-off ABS challenge. Catcher Samuel Basallo wasn't 100% sure it was a strike, but O's still had both remaining. "So I thought, ‘Why not use it?’" Basallo said via interpreter. "Better to use it and see what happens."

Orioles avoid a sweep with an 8-3 win over the Rangers in the series finale at Camden Yards. The O's go 3-3 on their season-opening homestand, taking 2 of 3 from the Twins and dropping 2 of 3 to the Rangers. Next up: A Thursday off-day followed by a 3-game series in Pittsburgh.

Orioles lead Rangers 8-3 heading to the 9th inning, and Albert Suárez is back out to the mound to go for a 3-inning save. This is exactly why the 36-year-old RHP was brought up. The other 7 members of Baltimore's bullpen now get 2 days off (today and tomorrow's off-day).

Final line for Orioles starter Trevor Rogers: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K's. 91 pitches, 58 strikes. Rogers has a 1.38 ERA through 2 starts this season. Of Rogers' 20 MLB appearances since the beginning of 2025, 14 have been quality starts. He's allowed 2 or fewer runs 18 times.

Welcome back, Big Al. With Orioles leading 8-2 heading to the 7th inning, Albert Suárez is entering the game for Baltimore. Could be an opportunity for Suárez to pick up a 3-inning save and help out the O's taxed bullpen.

Samuel Basallo hit his 1st home run of the season and the 5th of his MLB career earlier. Now, Dylan Beavers also hits his 1st home run of the season and the 5th of his MLB career. 401 feet, per Statcast. Orioles lead Rangers 8-2 in the 6th inning.

Final line for Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi: 4+ IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 5 K's, 1 HR. 88 pitches, 55 strikes. The 36-year-old RHP entered today with a 3.43 ERA in 20 career starts vs. the Orioles. He had a 2.05 ERA in 11 outings against them from 2020-25.

Here's that impressive power from Samuel Basallo. The 21-year-old's 1st home run of the season (and 5th of his MLB career) was a 437-foot, 109.5 mph blast to center field off Nathan Eovaldi to lead off the bottom of the 5th inning. Orioles lead Rangers 5-2.

After not allowing a run over his 1st 10 innings pitched this season, Trevor Rogers gives up a 2-out RBI single to Josh Jung in the top of the 4th inning. Jung was 0-for-18 this year prior to the knock. Rangers cut Orioles' lead to 4-1.

Yes, this is in fact the Leody Taveras Revenge Game. Taveras hits a 2-run double off Nathan Eovaldi in the 3rd inning. He is 2-for-2 already today in his 1st start of the season for the Orioles.

Taylor Ward stays hot, slapping an opposite-field RBI double to right off Nathan Eovaldi with 2 outs in the bottom of the 2nd inning and giving the Orioles a 2-0 lead over the Rangers. Ward has 5 hits in his past 6 plate appearances going back to last night.

After back-to-back singles by Colton Cowser and Leody Taveras, Jeremiah Jackson drives in a run with a sac fly to center field. Orioles lead Rangers 1-0 in the bottom of the 2nd.

Leody Taveras' 1st Orioles hit is a 1-out single against the Rangers, the team the 27-year-old outfielder played for from 2020-25. Will this be the Leody Taveras Revenge Game?

In the 1st inning, Pete Alonso legs out an infield single on a grounder hit down the left-field line that pulled Rangers third baseman Josh Jung into foul territory. Alonso is 7-for-20 (.350) to begin his Orioles career -- 1 home run and 6 singles.

The Orioles used the IL 39 times for 29 players in 2025. On April 1 last year (after 5 games), the O's had 9 players on the IL. So they aren't quite at last year's pace, as they have 8 players on the IL after the 1st 5 games of 2026, but it is close.

Taylor Ward: “Really, I should have done this stuff with J.B. before the first game. I’m kicking myself for that. That’ll be another thing I do going into every series, is getting those corner balls and seeing how everything plays. Just got to get that work in.”

Taylor Ward said Byron Buxton’s Opening Day triple “woke me up a little bit” on trickiness of LF at OPACY. So Ward ramped up work with Jason Bourgeois. “Instead of being reactive when they happen and then going out there, I’ve got to be more proactive.” www.mlb.com/orioles/news...
