Overview
- The 29-year-old left-hander walked two, struck out four and matched his career high with 84 pitches while making only the third start of his major league career.
- Ramon Laureano ended the no-hit bid with a leadoff single in the seventh inning, snapping Latz’s bid on his 84th pitch.
- Texas plated three runs in the fourth inning off veteran starter Charlie Morton to stake Latz to a 4-0 lead.
- The bullpen gave up five unanswered runs to let Baltimore overturn the lead, then held the Orioles scoreless in the 10th inning.
- Manager Bruce Bochy said Latz’s breakthrough performance will be a major factor in deciding whether he earns a spot in the starting rotation.
