Instant analysis from Orioles’ 3-2 loss to Texas Rangers in Game 1 of ALDS

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:37:37 GMT

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Orioles’ 3-2 loss to the visiting Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the best-of-five American League Division Series on Saturday at Camden Yards.Childs Walker: Kyle Bradish was sharp in his postseason debut, striking out nine Rangers and walking just one, but this Texas offense is good enough to beat even a top pitcher who’s on form. What else can you say about a team that led the American League in runs scored and then added a mature, scorching hot prospect in Evan Carter? The Orioles, meanwhile, made life too easy for Rangers starter Andrew Heaney and those who followed him, failing to work deep into at-bats or make hard contact with runners on base. They’re in a tough spot in the series, with Texas’ top pitcher, Jordan Montgomery, up Sunday. They will need their own Game 2 starter, Grayson Rodriguez, to step up as he did three weeks ago in a crucial series against the Tampa Bay...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:37:37 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Dillon Gabriel knew he couldn’t take a sack as the pocket collapsed around him in the closing seconds of his Red River rivalry debut, the kind of big game he went to Oklahoma to play.Then he saw Nic Anderson in the back of the end zone. “The rest is history,” Gabriel said. Gabriel appeared to do a jump step and connected with Anderson for a 3-yard touchdown with 15 seconds left as 12th-ranked Oklahoma won a battle of unbeatens 34-30 over No. 3 Texas on Saturday in their last matchup at the State Fair of Texas as Big 12 members before moving to the Southeastern Conference.“Just proud of everyone coming together, controlling the chaos,” Gabriel said. “It’s something you dream of as a little kid.”With the SEC commissioner in attendance, but not the Big 12’s, the Sooners (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) and Longhorns played a classic that must have made Greg Sankey thrilled with his new acquisitions.Gabriel completed 23 of 38 passes for 285 yards and ran 14 times for 113 yards and a scor...
