The Rangers rout the Orioles, 30 – 3, to set an American League record for runs. They score 9 more in the nightcap to set the AL record for runs in a doubleheader, breaking the previous mark of 36 held by the 1937 Tigers. The 1950 Red Sox and 1955 White Sox had previously held the single-game AL record of 29. No team had scored 30 in the major leagues since the Chicago Colts in 1897. Travis Metcalf, just back from the minors, drives in 8 in the twin bill. In the first game, Metcalf and Marlon Byrd both homer. David Murphy goes 5 for 7 with 5 runs. #8 hitter Jarrod Saltalamacchia and #9 hitter Ramon Vazquez both homer twice and drive in 7. Every Ranger scores at least once with Murphy and Saltalamacchia both crossing home five times. Vazquez scores the 30th run with a 3-run 9th-inning homer off Paul Shuey.
