Wednesday May 11 at the Rangers

Opponent: Texas Rangers
Outcome: L
Score: 0-8
Streak: L3
Record: 4-28
Rank: 7th
GB: 17.5

The Rangers ended any suspense in this one quickly.  The Rangers scored four in the bottom of the first off of O's starter Mark Williamson on an RBI double by Ruben Sierra, a two run home run by Pete Incaviglia and a solo shot from Larry Parrish.  It was the second day in a row that Sierra had doubled and Invaviglia had homered in the bottom of the first.  Parrish had also homered the day before.  They extended their lead to 5-0 in the bottom of the fifth when Jerry Browne scored on a Williamson wild pitch and 8-0 in the bottom of the sixth when the Rangers converted four singles and a double into three runs.

Meanwhile Rangers starter Paul Kilgus took a no-hitter into the sixth inning against the Birds before Pete Stanicek hit a two out single.  Kilgus threw a complete game and gave up only four hits while also walking four.  The closest the Orioles got to scoring was in the top of the seventh when they loaded the bases with only one out.  But Mickey Tettleton flew out to center and Rene Gonzalez grounded out to third to end the threat.
