Ryan Rua has struggled over his young career as a pinch hitter for the Texas Rangers.
However Wholesale Mark Andrews Jersey , he made the most of the opportunity against the free-falling Baltimore Orioles.
Rua had a tiebreaking, pinch-hit three-run homer in the seventh inning and the Rangers held on to beat the Orioles 5-4 Friday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
âIt was a situation where we just felt if we had runners on base we were going to go to Rua to give us an opportunity to drive some runs in,â Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. âIâm not real sure if heâs had a pinch hit. I know heâs had some attempts and hadnât really come through. But to get a big one in that situation was huge for us.â
Cole Hamels (5-8) won for the first time in almost a month, allowing four runs and five hits with three strikeouts and one walk over 6 1/3 innings in a matchup of last-place teams.
âI was still giving up four runs, so thatâs tough,â Hamels said.
Rua broke a 1-1 deadlock with the first pinch-hit of his career, off rookie left-hander Tanner Scott. Rua had gone 0 for 18 in his previous opportunities in that role.
âIn my career Iâve had pretty good success against lefties,â Rua said. âPinch-hitting, not so much, so it was good to get that out of the way.â
Nomar Mazara added an RBI double later that inning, which made it 5-1 and boosted Scottâs ERA from 5.88 to 6.84 over 26 appearances.
Baltimore pulled within a run on Caleb Josephâs three-run double against reliever Jose Leclerc in the bottom half of the inning. The Orioles loaded the bases in the eighth but Jake Diekman got out of the jam by getting Chris Davis on a short pop out.
Keone Kela got the last three outs for his 23rd save.
âI donât know how many one-run games weâve had where weâve fought back, fought back and just havenât been able to get that big push,â Joseph said. âItâll take a toll on you mentally Cheap Chase Edmonds Jersey , for sure.â
The Orioles have lost 17 of 20 and fell to 14-33 at Camden Yards, the second-worst home mark in the majors behind Kansas City.
Joey Gallo gave the Rangers the lead when he led off the fifth with a home run off Alex Cobb (2-12). The Orioles answered in the bottom half when Adam Jones hit a double just inside the left-field foul line and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Danny Valencia.
Cobb left his previous start against the Twins in the sixth inning with a blister on his right index finger. He did not appear hampered by the injury and allowed two runs and six hits with three strikeouts and no walks over 6 1/3 innings.
âTheyâre a pretty aggressive team,â Cobb said. âI tried to get ahead early, make them chase pitches that you want them to chase, and hopefully, they put it on the ground and find somebody.â
STREAKS EXTENDED
Rangers DH Shin-Soo Choo, who was celebrating his 36th birthday, hit a single in the third to extend his club record on-base streak to 49 games. Itâs also the longest streak in the majors in the last 10 years. ⦠Hamels has struck out at least one batter in 320 straight games.

John Elway is giving his clearest indication yet that he's going to pursue Kirk Cousins, the prize of this year's free-agent quarterbacks.
"We're going to explore all options in free agency and see where that goes," Elway said Wednesday at the NFL combine. "Obviously we've got the fifth pick in the draft Authentic Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey , too. That will all play into it. We'll continue to look at all of the options out there when it comes to quarterback."
The Denver Broncos general manager stressed that he'll look at "anybody that won't be under contract."
With the Washington Redskins moving on to Alex Smith, whom they've agreed to acquire from Kansas City, that group of free agents would include Cousins, who figures to command more than the record $27.5 million that Jimmy Garoppolo will receive in his new deal with the San Francisco 49ers.
Elway said he's confident the team could absorb a big free-agent contract under the salary cap, revealed the Broncos are considering moving Ronald Leary back to left guard and indicated highly paid receivers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders aren't going anywhere.
"Yes, the plan is to have them back," Elway said.
That means, Elway will pick up Thomas' $4 million bonus in March, which will keep the last two years of the wide receiver's contract in place.
"That is the plan, yes."
The returns of tight end Jake Butt and slot receiver Carlos Henderson, who spent their rookie years on IR last season, could help bolster the Broncos' offense, as well.
Elway has been stung by the draft selections of Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch Jeff Locke Jersey 49ers , but he hit the jackpot six years ago when he landed Peyton Manning.
The Broncos have missed the playoffs each of the two seasons after Manning retired, including a 5-11 season last year when they cycled through quarterbacks Trevor Siemian, Osweiler and Lynch twice .
Elway said he's eager to see the promising class of college quarterbacks this week that features Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph.
"There is a possibility of some really good quarterbacks coming out of this draft," Elway said.
Elway got burned two years ago when he moved up to take Lynch with the 26th overall pick only to watch him founder on the sideline most of the past two seasons.
"Believe me, I'm not done swinging and missing," Elway said with a laugh. "Misses don't bother me. We just have to figure out a way to get it right. That is what we are working on."
Even with so much uncertainty at quarterback, Elway has been in a good mood this week.
"If there's any year I wanted to play it was last year, to come back and play as a player and try to get things turned around," Elway said. "Sitting in my chair was a long Ezekiel Elliott Jersey Womens , long year."
Elway is also a member of the league's competition committee which has been discussing simplifying the catch rule that's become so cumbersome in recent seasons and which commissioner Roger Goodell has put atop his offseason fix-it list.
Elway said the competition committee is making progress in that regard.
"I think it'll be much simpler and I think everyone will understand what a catch is and what it isn't," Elway said. "I think that we're in the process of everything that we covered so far, it's going to be much better."
So, "survive the ground" will soon be out of the NFL's lexicon.
"Yeah, going to the ground, that'll be changed," Elway said.
Goodell wanted the league to go back and start from scratch after tweaks to the rule only made it more troublesome.
"Or let's go back to what the old definition of what a catch was, right? Two feet down, control and move and then you've got a catch," Elway said. "That's what it's going to be more like."
