Rangers Smoke in Record Rout


Recommended Posts

The Texas Rangers became the first team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game, setting an American League record Wednesday in a 30-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles.

Trailing 3-0 in the opener of a doubleheader, the Rangers scored five runs in the fourth inning, nine in the sixth, 10 in the eighth and six in the ninth.

It was the ninth time a major league team scored 30 runs, the first since Chicago set the major league record in a 36-7 rout of Louisville in a National League game on June 28, 1897, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Marlon Byrd and Travis Metcalf hit grand slams for the last-place Rangers. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ramon Vazquez, the bottom two batters in Texas' lineup, each homered twice and had seven RBIs.

David Murphy had five of the Rangers' 29 hits, the most by a major league team since Milwaukee had 31 in a 22-2 victory over Toronto on Aug. 28, 1992, according to Elias.

Texas also set a team record for runs scored in a doubleheader ? before the second game even started.

Hours after announcing manager Dave Trembley would return for the 2008 season, the Orioles absorbed the most lopsided loss in franchise history and set a team record for hits allowed in a game.

Saltalamacchia, a rookie who came in batting .179, went 4-for-6 with a walk and scored five runs.

Kason Gabbard (6-1) allowed three runs and seven hits over six innings. He is 2-1 in six starts since Texas acquired him from Boston on July 31.

Even with the one-sided score, there was a save. Wes Littleton earned his second career save and first this season by pitching three scoreless innings.

Texas erased a 3-0 deficit by batting around in a five-run fourth. A walk to Byrd and an infield hit by Jason Botts preceded a two-run single by Saltalamacchia. After a visit from pitching coach Leo Mazzone, Daniel Cabrera (9-13) gave up a go-ahead, three-run homer to Vazquez.

Texas made it 14-3 by scoring nine runs on 10 hits in the sixth. The 10 hits matched a club record for one inning and were three more than the Rangers totaled in their previous two games.

Cabrera left after serving up a home run to Saltalamacchia. Brian Burres yielded two singles and a walk before Byrd hit his third career slam. Saltalamacchia, Vazquez, Frank Catalanotto and Ian Kinsler added RBI singles.

Texas got seven hits in the eighth. Metcalf, called up from Triple-A Oklahoma earlier in the day, hit his first career slam and Saltalamacchia added a three-run shot.

Vazquez's second homer highlighted a six-run ninth.

    • Governments begin warning all users on Windows 10 end of support and how to deal with it by Sayan Sen Last month, Microsoft issued a reminder about Windows 10's upcoming end of support date. The various hardware vendor partners of Microsoft like Asus have also published their guidance for the same, such that users can prepare for the "mandatory upgrade to Windows 11." While the upgrade is certainly not mandatory, as users can continue sticking to Windows 10 if they want, at least for a while, the governments are now beginning to issue advisories on the upcoming massive change. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) under the Government of India (GoI) has published guidance on the matter. Like Microsoft, Asus, and others, the GoI has also recommended upgrading to Windows 11 to keep their systems secure. In the new advisory, it writes: For enterprises as well as individual users who need more time to plan the upgrade, the CERT-In has reminded them about the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. It writes: If you recall, Microsoft also extended the support for Microsoft 365 apps like Teams, Word, Excel, Outlook, OneDrive, and more, for another three years. You can find the advisory here under CIAD-2025-0023 on CERT-In's official website. Meanwhile, the United States' Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is probably going to publish its own official guidance sometime soon, similar to how it did for Windows 7 and others. Others like the EU are going to follow suit as well. If you do not like Microsoft's latest OS offering, you can also switch over to Linux. Recently, LibreOffice urged users to do so, citing the "real costs" of Windows 11.
