.......never had to face the TEXAS RANGERS

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Five runs in the fourth inning.

Nine runs in the sixth.

Ten in the eighth.

Six more in the ninth.

The Texas Rangers rounded the bases at a dizzying pace and 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.

Not only that, but it was double header and they scored 9 more in that one for a new reacord there also for the most runs scored in a double header.

No...good pitching beats good hitting! Baltimore has bad pitching.

The 18 runs that the Angels hung on the Yankees the other night was more impressive.
