BALTIMORE (AP) — Ryan Mountcastle and Austin Hays homered, rookie Zac Lowther pitched five sparkling innings to earn his first major league victory and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 3-0. After going winless with a 9.61 ERA in his first six appearances, Lowther got into a rhythm against the light-hitting Rangers in this matchup of last-place teams.
