The Texas Rangers secured a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in a spring training game on Monday, March 31, 2026, at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Florida. Right-hander Jack Leiter delivered a strong performance for the Rangers, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on four hits while striking out five batters.
Offensively, the Rangers were led by Jonah Burger, who hit a two-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to give Texas a lead they would not relinquish. The Rangers added three more runs across the fifth and sixth innings to build a comfortable advantage.
The Orioles' scoring came from a two-run home run by Heston Kjerstad in the bottom of the fourth inning. Baltimore's pitching staff, including starter Grayson Rodriguez who allowed three runs over four innings, struggled to contain the Rangers' lineup. The game was a final tune-up for both teams before the start of the 2026 regular season.
