ORIOLES 4, RANGERS 0
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Adrian Beltre singled to get within one hit of 3,000 for his career in the Texas Rangers' 4-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.
Beltre was 1 for 4, grounding a ball through the left side of the infield for a hit leading off the fourth. He had two chances after that to become the 31st major leaguer with 3,000 hits, but grounded out to short in the sixth and was retired on a double play in the ninth when third baseman Manny Machado made a slick snag on a short-hopper before a sidearm sling to second base.
Kevin Gausman (8-7) went 8 2/3 innings to win his fifth consecutive decision over seven starts. He struck out eight and threw 118 pitches.
Zach Britton converted his 56th consecutive save chance, and seventh this season. He relieved with two on and got Carlos Gomez to ground out, completed the Orioles' sixth shutout this season.
The Rangers, who had scored 28 runs the previous three games, were held scoreless for the fourth time.
Trey Mancini and Caleb Joseph both hit solo home runs in the second off Austin Bibens-Dirkx (3-1).
The closest Texas came to scoring was when young slugger Joey Gallo led off the third with a towering shot to straightway center field. Adam Jones got back to the 8-foot wall, leaped and caught the ball that looked like it would be Gallo's 26th home run.
