BALTIMORE SECOND

Third baseman Scott Moore, getting his first start of the season after a hectic travel day, homered on a 1-2 pitch. Brian Roberts' single scored Adam Jones, who had doubled.

Baltimore 2, Rangers 0

BALTIMORE THIRD

Aubrey Huff led off with a single and Luke Scott followed with a homer on a 2-0 pitch.

Baltimore 4, Rangers 0

BALTIMORE SIXTH

A two-out error by Ian Kinsler extended the inning. Kevin Millar followed with a single and Huff doubled off the top of the fence in right. It was originally called a homer, but after the Rangers disputed it, Huff was sent back to second. Both runs, however, scored.

Baltimore 6, Rangers 0

RANGERS SEVENTH

Kinsler, who had made four outs in his previous two at-bats, singled to score David Murphy.

Baltimore 6, Rangers 1

BALTIMORE EIGHTH

Huff's two-out, two-run single was his fourth hit of the game, tying his career high. Huff, who walked in his other plate appearance, had four RBIs.

Baltimore 8, Rangers 1

Great debaters (Fair): Marlon Byrd and Ron Washington persuaded the umpiring crew to change a call from a home run to double with a sixth-inning plea.

Bears (Foul): Baylor alums Jason Jennings and David Murphy had poor home debuts. Jennings was chased before the end of the fifth; Murphy struck out with the bases loaded to end the fourth.

Pomp (Fair) : The simplicity and elegance of a baseball home opener makes it perhaps the most thoroughly enjoyable of any pro sports event. And flyovers rock.
