Orioles 5, Rangers 0
Game 1
BALTIMORE — Zach Britton, making his second career start, took a two-hitter into the eighth to hand the Rangers their first loss. He allowed only two runners past first and induced three double plays, two by Adrian Beltre. Texas sought to match the franchise-record 7-0 start of 1996. Coming in, it had allowed only three homers. But Nick Markakis hit a solo shot in the first and Mark Reynolds a three-run shot in the second.
