Yesterday the Baltimore Orioles were playing the Texas Rangers and pulled ahead in the first few innings to lead 3-0.

The Rangers decided to turn up the heat or something, because starting in the fourth inning they exploded– eventually scoring a total of 30 (yes, 30) runs. The rout included a grand slam by Travis Metcalf, who had been called up from triple-A ball that very day (that’s got to make you feel good when you finally make it to The Show).

Despite such a performance, Texas remains in last place.
