Jacob deGrom wins 5th decision in row, Adolis García drives in 4 runs as Rangers beat O's 10-2
Alejandro Osuna hit his first career homer for Texas, which had gone extra innings in each of its previous four games — losing three of those.
DeGrom (9-2, 2.13 ERA) struck out six over six innings in his 14th consecutive start working at least five innings and allowing two runs or fewer. That
extended his franchise record
and is the longest streak in the majors this season.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner scattered five hits, allowing a two-run homer to Gary Sánchez in the fourth that just cleared the wall. Six nights earlier in Baltimore, deGrom was
perfect through six innings
and took a no-hitter into the eighth.
García put the Rangers ahead to stay with his two-run single in the third, and scored on Jonah Heim's single to make it 3-0 against rookie right-hander Brandon Young (0-3). García had another two-run single in the fifth, an inning after Osuna's two-run homer.
Jacob Latz struck out three while working the final three innings for his first career save.
Key moment
Sánchez homered on the next pitch, for the only Baltimore runs, after his two-out foul pop in the fourth inning that dropped just beyond the extended reach of first baseman Josh Smith into the Rangers dugout.
Key stat
Justin Foscue drove in two runs with a pinch-hit double in the eighth, ending his 0-for-44 slide that was the longest in Rangers history.
Up next
Nathan Eovaldi (4-3, 1.87 ERA) pitches for Texas in the series finale Wednesday night, only the right-hander's second start since a
month-long stay on the injured list
because of elbow inflammation. Tomoyuki Sugano (6-4, 4.06) pitches for Baltimore.

Dive-bombing buzzard cancels race
A mountain running race has been cancelled because of a dive-bombing buzzard. The organiser of the junior fell running race at Foel Fenlli in the Clwydian Range, Denbighshire, said he came into contact with the bird while running in the area. "I was following a path along the valley when I suddenly felt something hit the back of my head accompanied by a swooshing sound," Nigel Crompton said. The Fell Runners Association said it was not safe for people to take part in the event on Sunday, and that it would not be fair on the protected species. Fell running is a type of hill or mountain running, and often involves routes with no paths. The race in the Clwydian Range has been held since 2023 and is one of the races in the English Junior Fell Championships, with participants from seven years old. Mr Crompton described looking up and seeing the buzzard fly away from him after swooping down. "Within seconds it circled round and headed straight back towards me. My initial instinct was to run faster and get out of there but several times I felt and heard it swooping down against the back of my head. "Apparently, you're not supposed to run. I know that now. I was divebombed several more times but found that by stopping and facing it the bird was more likely to stay high. "It continued to circle around menacingly, however, until I was clear of the area. It was magnificent and yet unnerving." Ospreys reunite in Wales for third year together Police investigate red kite poisoning Osprey finds new lovebird and set to become dad Mr Crompton said he raised concerns about junior athletes being targeted by the bird. "Thoughts quickly moved from survival to the race in just a few days. "I had by now Googled buzzard attacks and discovered them incredibly prevalent in the Highlands, in the Lakes and in Shropshire, especially targeting runners. The advice, after all, is not to run." After speaking to the Fell Runners Association and local Rangers in the Clwydian Range, Mr Crompton was then advised the race should not go ahead. "Concerns were obviously for the safety of our junior athletes with fears that more runners in the area may further distress and agitate the birds and concerns for the disturbance of a protected species," he said. "The main message, for me, is for people to be aware. I have been running in these hills for years and never encountered this before and yet now find that buzzard attacks are not uncommon and runners seem to be most targeted. "Knowledge is powerful, however, and if we are aware then we can both hopefully continue to co-habit the hills in harmony."

Supreme Court will take up a new case about which school sports teams transgender students can join
Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear a case over state restrictions on which school sports teams transgender students can join. Just two weeks after upholding a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, the justices said they will review lower court rulings in favor of transgender athletes in Idaho and West Virginia. The nationwide battle over the participation of transgender girls on girls sports teams has played out at both the state and federal levels as Republicans have leveraged the issue as a fight for athletic fairness for women and girls. More than two dozen states have enacted laws barring transgender women and girls from participating in certain sports competitions. Some policies have been blocked in court. At the federal level, the Trump administration has filed lawsuits and launched investigations over state and school policies that have allowed transgender athletes to compete freely. This week, the University of Pennsylvania modified a trio of school records set by transgender swimmer Lia Thomas and said it would apologize to female athletes 'disadvantaged' by her participation on the women's swimming team, part of a resolution of a federal civil rights case. The case will be argued in the fall. in this topic
