The Texas Rangers won their fourth consecutive game to start this postseason, pushing the Baltimore Orioles to the brink of elimination with an 11-8 victory in Game 2 of the AL Division Series.
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - OCTOBER 08: Mitch Garver #18 of the Texas Rangers watches his grand slam against the Baltimore Orioles during the third inning in Game Two of the Division Series at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on October 08, 2023 in Baltimore, Mwon their fourth consecutive game to start this postseason, pushing the Baltimore Orioles to the brink of elimination with an 11-8 victory in Game 2 of the AL Division Series on Sunday.
Hicks drove in five runs, including a three-run shot with one out in the ninth that brought the Orioles within three runs for the first time since before Garver's grand slam. But it was too little, too late. The 68-year-old manager was rewarded for that move, and there were plenty of other contributors for the Rangers.
Hicks, who missed a key sign in the ninth inning of Game 1, poked a bases-loaded single to right field in the first. But the bottom of the Texas batting order barely gave the Camden Yards crowd time to feel hopeful. Danny Coulombe got out of the second for Baltimore, but Bryan Baker walked the bases loaded with one out in the third. Then Jacob Webb came in and allowed his second homer of the series - the drive by Garver that carried past the big wall at Camden Yards that the Orioles pushed back before the 2022 season.
