The game kicked off with both teams struggling to get on the scoreboard in the first few innings.

Our bats were also kept quiet early, with Marcus Semien and Corey Seager getting on base but to no avail.Heim Delivers Big in the 4th Inning

Our pitching continued to stymie the Orioles as Sborz and Heaney worked magic on the mound. Heaney struck out eight before being relieved in the sixth inning, while Sborz struck out three in a perfect sixth inning. It seemed like we had full control of the game going into the later innings.Orioles Fight Back, Santander's Homer 
The top of the 8th inning brought a bit of a scare. After Adley Rutschman walked, Anthony Santander blasted a two-run homer to bring the Orioles within one run. Our hearts collectively skipped a beat, but Robertson managed to limit the damage.Yates Shuts the Door 
With the game hanging in the balance, Jankowski was brought in for left field and Yates took over on the mound in the 9th. He struck out Colton Cowser and Cedric Mullins, while Heston Kjerstad grounded out to second. Yates sealed the deal with a dominant performance to secure a 3-2 victory for the Rangers!Final Takeaway
