Ryan Mountcastle and Jorge Mateo homered early and Kyle Gibson pitched seven solid innings as the Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 7-2 on Tuesday night.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Kyle Gibson had no problem with his second scheduled start for Baltimore getting moved up a day. The veteran right-hander had plenty of motivation after what led to that switch.
“I don’t think we can say enough what Ty Wells did for this team last night. ... That set us up to me not needing to do seven innings tonight,” Gibson said. “I mean, I was thankful I was able to do it, but what a job by him. When we found out he was going in, they asked me if I could throw today. I said, it’s a no-brainer.”
The Orioles have multiple homers in the first five games of a season for only the second time in team history. They matched the franchise record set by the 1994 team.
