Doug DeCinces drove in five runs with a homer and bases-loaded triple to back Mike Cuellar's five-hitter as the Orioles rapped the Rangers, 13-1, to split a twinbill. The Rangers won the opener, 10-6, with a four-run eighth capped by Dave Moates' tie-breaking double and Tom Grieve's second two-run single of the game. [The Sporting News]
