Orioles' Robot Umpire Secures First Save in Nine Years

0:00On April 1st, Baltimore Orioles grabbed an 8-3 win over the Texas Rangers, highlighted by the first game ending call from a robot umpire. That sealed Alberswar as his first Major League save in 9 years, as he closed out the final three innings after getting called up. Trevor Rogers dominated with 6 strong innings, giving up just 2 runs to improve, to 2, and 0. Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beaver's Crush solo homers, while the Rangers Nathan Eel-Vowley struggled, allowing 6 runs and 4-plus frames. Texas built a 4-0 lead early thanks to big hits from their bottom of the order guys, like Leody Taveris, Jeremiah Jackson, and Taylor Ward. But Baltimore exploded for 8 unanswered runs, snapping the Rangers 4-game win streak and dodging a sweep. Corey Seager did smack a homer for Texas off Suarez in the 8th, but the robot challenge on a borderline pitch to Evan Carter ended it clean. Meanwhile, the Orioles put Zach Eflin on the injured list, with elbow issues right before this one.
