The Rangers took control in the third inning, scoring three runs off Orioles starter Brandon Young. Sam Haggerty and Josh Smith singled, followed by a walk to Marcus Semien. García’s two-run single scored Haggerty and Smith, and Jonah Heim’s single drove in Semien, giving Texas a 3-0 lead.

In the eighth, Seager scored on a wild pitch by Gregory Soto, and Justin Foscue’s pinch-hit double drove in Semien and Michael Helman, finalizing the score at 10-2.
DeGrom (9-2, 2.13 ERA) struck out six, allowing five hits and one walk, earning his fifth consecutive win. His performance marked his 14th straight start of at least five innings with two or fewer runs allowed, a Rangers franchise record and the longest such streak in the majors this season. Jacob Latz pitched three scoreless innings for his first save. Young (0-3, 7.02 ERA) took the loss, surrendering three runs on six hits over four innings.

The game, attended by 30,933 fans, was played with the Globe Life Field roof closed due to 74-degree weather. The contest lasted 2 hours and 42 minutes, with the first pitch at 7:08 p.m. CDT. Umpires included David Rackley (home plate), Chad Whitson (first base), Edwin Moscoso (second base), and Chris Guccione (third base).
The Rangers’ offensive outburst came after a challenging stretch, having lost three of their previous four extra-inning games. García’s performance was a standout, building on his recent form, while Osuna’s homer marked a milestone in his young career. Foscue’s double ended an 0-for-44 slump, the longest hitless streak in Rangers history.
The Orioles’ pitching staff struggled, with relievers Bowman, Scott Blewett, Soto, and Luis Vázquez allowing seven runs. Soto’s three wild pitches in the eighth contributed to Texas’s final three runs. Baltimore’s offense, despite seven hits, couldn’t capitalize on opportunities, with deGrom and Latz stifling their lineup.
The teams were set to conclude their series on July 2, with Nathan Eovaldi (4-3, 1.87 ERA) scheduled to pitch for Texas against Baltimore’s Tomoyuki Sugano (6-4, 4.06 ERA). The Rangers’ win followed a competitive series, with the Orioles taking a 10-6 victory in 11 innings the previous night, driven by Henderson’s four RBIs in extra innings.
This game highlighted the Rangers’ pitching and offensive depth, with deGrom’s dominance and García’s production proving decisive. For the Orioles, the loss underscored ongoing challenges in their rotation and with situational hitting, as they continue their 2025 campaign.
