BALTIMORE >> 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.

Mariners 11, Twins 2 >> Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 32nd home run on Monday, one of four by the Seattle Mariners in their 11-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Raleigh hit a two-run shot to left in the ninth inning off reliever Joey Wentz.

Julio Rodríguez and Luke Raley homered as part of a six-run third inning for Seattle. Dominic Canzone, who homered twice on Sunday, went deep again for the Mariners, while Bryan Woo (7-4) gave up two runs and struck out nine to win his second straight start.

Brooks Lee, Trevor Larnach and Carlos Correa each had two hits. Larnach and Correa hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning for Minnesota, which has lost 14 of its last 17.

Twins starter Bailey Ober (4-5) had just one bad inning, but it was rocky enough to be the difference in the game. He gave up six runs in the third, with a two-run homer by Rodríguez and Raley’s three-run shot doing most of the damage.

Ober allowed only two other baserunners and struck out seven in his seven-inning stint.

Rodríguez added a two-run double in the ninth inning before Raleigh’s home run.
