ARLINGTON, Texas — Missing: The Baltimore Orioles' offense, last seen before the trade deadline.
Another night of frustrating results at the plate was to be expected Saturday with Jacob deGrom on the mound for the Texas Rangers. Yet despite driving his pitch count up enough to force Texas to go to its bullpen after five innings, the Orioles still struggled to string together any kind of rally in a 5-1 loss to the Rangers.
It's the Orioles' third straight game with one run or fewer and fifth in their past seven overall.
The loss ensured Baltimore (56-61) would lose its series in Arlington and drop the club to three games back in the American League wild-card race.
A solo home run by Jackson Holliday off deGrom in the first inning was the only run the Orioles pushed across. They had six hits and drew three walks but finished 0 for 3 with runners in scoring position to strand six men on base.
