ARLINGTON -- The Orioles return home Tuesday to open a six-game homestand against the Angels and Rangers.
The Orioles snapped the Rangers' seven-game winning streak Saturday and then outscored Texas 13-5 Sunday to win the weekend series. They also took two of three at Anaheim, the defending World Series champions.
"It was a great road trip, winning four of six," said Orioles pitcher Rick Helling.
The Orioles stroked 44 hits, including a season-high 18 Sunday, in the three-game series at Texas.
