Leody Taveras, Taylor Ward and Jeremiah Jackson drove in two runs each and the Baltimore Orioles turned strong offensive production into an 8-3 victory over the visiting Texas Rangers to salvage the final game of a three-game series Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Dylan Beavers and Samuel Basallo both hit solo home runs. Beavers finished with three this and three runs scored.<\/p>\n
The Orioles received another strong start from pitcher Trevor Rogers, who worked six innings and allowed two runs on six hits and one walk.<\/p>\n
Corey Seager homered for the Rangers, who had a four-game winning streak snapped. Texas third baseman Josh Jung delivered his first hits of the season, after an 0-for-18 start, with a pair of singles.<\/p>\n
Rogers (2-0), who also was the winning pitcher in the season opener against the Minnesota Twins, had three strikeouts. The Rangers\u2019 Albert Suarez gave up a run in the ninth before recording his first save.<\/p>\n
Texas starter Nathan Eovaldi (0-2) was charged with six runs on eight hits in four innings with three walks and five strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Taveras and Jackson delivered out of the last two spots in the Orioles order, with Taveras adding two hits and two walks.<\/p>\n

The Rangers fought back to make it 4-2 in the third on RBI singles from Jung and Ezequiel Duran.<\/p>\n
But Basallo\u2019s homer, Jackson\u2019s single and Ward\u2019s sacrifice fly all resulted in runs in the bottom of the fifth for Baltimore. Beavers homered in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Seager\u2019s second home run of the series came in the eighth.<\/p>\n
