Rogers shuts down Rangers and Holliday hits a three-run homer in Orioles' 6-0 win
BALTIMORE (AP) — Trevor Rogers allowed three hits in a career-high eight innings in his home debut, Jackson Holliday hit a three-run homer and drove in the game's first four runs and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 6-0 on Monday night with the game temperature reaching 100 degrees.
Rogers (1-0) made his third start and turned in the longest outing by an Oriole this season, throwing 72 of his 101 pitches for strikes. He struck out four and didn't issue a walk.
Holliday's run-scoring double followed Chadwick Tromp's first hit with Baltimore, a two-out double in the third off Texas starter Patrick Corbin (4-7).
Coby Mayo and Cedric Mullins had consecutive one-out singles in the fifth and Holliday hit his ninth homer one out later,
a 402-foot shot
the opposite way to left-center field for a 4-0 lead. He finished 3 for 5 for his seventh three-hit game this season.
Corbin allowed five runs on nine hits in five innings.
Rogers — the 13th overall pick in 2017 — was the runner-up to the Reds' Jonathan India for NL Rookie of the Year in 2021 after going 7-8 with a 2.64 ERA and 157 strikeouts in 133 innings. He had a 7-24 record with the Marlins after that before they traded him to Baltimore in July for Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers.
Tromp was called up from Triple-A Norfolk before the game to replace catcher Maverick Handley, who was placed on the 7-day concussion list after colliding with the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. on a play at home in a 4-2 loss Sunday. Starting catcher Adley Rutschman was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a left oblique strain.
Key moment
Gunnar Henderson drew an intentional walk in the seventh to give the Orioles a team-record 156 straight games with a base on balls. The old mark was set spanning the 1955-56 seasons.

Cal Raleigh continues hot streak, hits 32nd homer of the season
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Cal Raleigh picked up right where he left off last week. Raleigh hit his major league-leading 32nd home run in the ninth inning of the Seattle Mariners' 11-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. Raleigh was chosen AL player of the week after he hit .417 with five homers and 12 RBIs in six games last week. Much of that came in the Mariners' series with the Cubs, when Raleigh hit four home runs as the Mariners took two of three at Wrigley Field. Monday's home run came off left-handed reliever Joey Wentz, a two-run shot to left field off a high changeup that Wentz left over the middle of the plate. It was Raleigh's fourth straight game with a home run. 'He's just in a really good spot,' Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. 'I think he feels comfortable, clearly, and he's getting good pitches. And when he gets them, he doesn't miss them.' In his last 30 games, Raleigh is hitting .331 (39 for 118) with 17 home runs and 36 RBIs. For the season, he's hitting .278 with 68 RBIs and a 1.048 OPS. The 28-year-old catcher, who signed a $105 million, six-year contract with Seattle this spring, needs three more homers to match Ken Griffey Jr. for the most before the All-Star break in Mariners history. 'He's hit a lot of home runs, but he's found a lot of barrels, and when you're hitting .270 with that kind of power, you're putting up a lot of good at-bats,' Wilson said. 'He's hitting the ball hard. He's hitting the ball on the line, and then occasionally he's getting ... underneath it a little bit more and driving it out of the ballpark.' Mariners starter Bryan Woo struck out nine in six innings to earn the win on Monday. He's pitched at least six innings in each of his 15 starts this year and sports a 3.12 ERA. But even Woo shook his head when asked how he'd pitch to Raleigh right now. 'I'd put up four fingers and let him take first base,' said Woo. 'Yeah, I'm not pitching to him.'

Palmeiras comes back to tie Inter Miami 2-2, sending both teams to Club World Cup round of 16
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Palmeiras came from behind to play Inter Miami to a 2-2 draw in front of an electric crowd at Hard Rock Stadium, and both clubs advanced to the Club World Cup round of 16 on Monday night. A tie was enough to send both teams to the knockout round after they entered Monday's match tied atop the Group A standings with four points apiece. For a while, it looked like Inter Miami would advance as winners of the group after taking a 2-0 lead deep into regulation on goals by Tadeo Allende in the 16th and veteran Luis Suarez in the 65th. The historic Brazilian club Palmeiras clawed back, with a goal from Paulinho in the 80th and then the equalizer from Mauricio a couple minutes before the end of regulation. Messi, who turns 39 on Tuesday, had numerous chances but did not score Monday despite the crowd chanting his name throughout the match. Key moment Messi was seen shaking his head just after Mauricio hammered the tying goal past goalkeeper Oscar Ustari in the 87th minute, as Miami's lead had slipped away in a matter of minutes. Takeaways Palmeiras finished as winners of Group A and will face fellow Brazilian squad Botafogo in the round of 16, while Inter Miami will face Group B winner and Messi's former club Paris Saint-Germain. ___ AP soccer:
