Henderson drives in four runs in extra innings and Orioles beat Rangers 10-6 in 11

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Gunnar Henderson drove in four runs in extra innings and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 10-6 in 11 innings on Monday night.
With the score tied 3-3 in the 10th, Henderson hit a two-run homer over the right-field wall and Colton Cowser added a solo shot for a three-run lead.
However, Adolis García smashed a three-run home run off the facade of the second deck in the bottom half to tie it 6-6.
In the 11th, Luis Vazquez singled into center to off Hoby Milner (1-2) score Ryan O'Hearn from second. Vazquez scored on Ramon Laureano's third double of the game. Henderson then hit a two-run double off the right-field wall.
It was the fourth consecutive extra-inning game for the Rangers to tie a team record set in 2002.
The Orioles are 20-10 against the Rangers since 2021.
Keegan Akin (3-0) blew another save before picking up the win.
Baltimore starter Trevor Rogers led off the top of the fourth because of an injury to catcher Chadwick Tromp. The Orioles had to move designated hitter Gary Sanchez to catcher and Rogers took Tromp's spot in the order.
Key moment
The Rangers used a crazy play in the seventh to tie it at 3-3 when rookie Michael Helman scored from first. He was hit in the helmet sliding into second and the ball went into center field. Helman came home to score when Sanchez couldn't secure the ball.
Key stat
Laureano, who went 4 for 6 with three runs scored, extended his streak to six straight games with at least one hit and one run scored.
Up next
Orioles RHP Charlie Morton (4-7, 5.63 ERA) is scheduled start against the Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom (8-2, 2.08) on Tuesday.

Jaren Jackson Jr. finalizing massive $240 million max contract extension with Grizzlies

The post Jaren Jackson Jr. finalizing massive $240 million max contract extension with Grizzlies appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Memphis Grizzlies are starting NBA Free Agency off with a bang as they are finalizing a massive contract extension for Jaren Jackson Jr. Jackson Jr. was selected in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft, and he has spent his entire career with the Grizzlies. He isn't going anywhere as this max extension is worth $240 million over five years. Jackson Jr. is staying put. Advertisement 'BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies and All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr. are expected to agree on a five-year, $240 million maximum renegotiation-and-extension, sources tell ESPN,' Shams Charania said in a post. 'Head of CAA Basketball Austin Brown and CAA agent Max Saidman negotiated the new agreement with the Grizzlies.' Another important aspect of this deal for Jaren Jackson Jr. is that there is a player option for the final year of his contract in 2029-30. 'Massive new deal for Jaren Jackson Jr., including a player option in the final year of the contract in 2029-30, sources said,' Charania added. 'Memphis secures a franchise cornerstone long term, prioritizing the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year's extension to begin the offseason.' Jackson Jr. was one of the best players in college basketball during his time at Michigan State, and his freak athleticism and length has transferred over to the NBA well. Jackson Jr. was immediately an impact player for the Grizzlies when he joined the team in 2018 after being the fourth overall pick in the draft. He has averaged double figures during all seven seasons of his career, and he hasn't averaged below 20 points per game since the 2022-23 season. Advertisement The last two years have been incredibly impressive as Jackson Jr. has averaged 22.5 and 22.2 PPG. He also averaged 5.6 rebounds per game and 2.0 assists per game this past season. His size and shooting ability makes him incredibly difficult to defend as Jackson Jr. is a very capable three-point shooter. He shot the deep ball at a 37.5% clip last season. Not only is Jackson Jr. a force on the offensive end, but his defensive abilities make him an incredibly valuable player. He can guard just about anyone because of his unique skillset, and his high level of play on that end of the floor earned him Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2023. Jaren Jackson Jr. has had a very impressive NBA career with the Grizzlies so far, and Memphis wasted no time getting him on a new contract. The Grizzlies are off to a busy start in NBA Free Agency.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson Jr. gets big injury update after $240 million contract

The post Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson Jr. gets big injury update after $240 million contract appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Memphis Grizzlies have lost some key pieces so far in the 2025 offseason. Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman traded away Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic and lost Luke Kennard to the Atlanta Hawks. They were able to sign Ja Morant's co-star, Jaren Jackson Jr., to a five-year, $240 million contract, but the forward suffered a foot injury earlier this week. Advertisement The All-Star forward was dealt a turf toe injury during a live basketball run, according to the Memphis' social media. The team's doctors examined the injury and determined that their young star requires a procedure. Luckily for the team, Jackson Jr. will make a complete recovery, but it could take up to three months. Unfortunately, there is no timetable for the former Defensive Player of the Year's return. Foot injuries are dangerous among basketball players, especially when big men suffer them. The injury comes at an inopportune time for the Grizzlies. Kleiman gave Jackson Jr. the maximum extension he was looking for. The Grizzlies committed almost a quarter of a billion dollars in to the seven-year pro. It is the biggest contract the team has ever offered to a player. Jackson Jr. became Memphis' leader over the course of the season as Morant struggled with injuries. Head coach Tomas Iisalo lost his point guard during the first round against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the postseason after a hip injury knocked the Grizzlies point guard out of the game. Advertisement Morant and Jackson Jr. are both on long-term deals, but the team's outlook looks far different than last season. Without Bane on the roster, more pressure is on the team's duo of All-Stars to produce on the offensive end of the floor. In a Western Conference full of stars, Iisalo and the Grizzlies have their work cut out for them. They hope that Jaren Jackson Jr. will be back in time for the beginning of the season. If he isn't, Morant will have to play at an All-NBA level in order to keep the team afloat.
