Andrew Heaney gave up one run and four hits over seven innings to help the Texas Rangers post a 5-3 victory over the host Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.

The stint was Heaney's longest of the season as he helped Texas win its fourth straight game. Heaney (4-3) walked one and struck out three as he lowered his ERA from 4.13 to 3.76.

Jonah Heim, Marcus Semien and Leody Taveras had two hits apiece for the Rangers, who won Friday's series opener, 12-2. Semien had two RBIs.

Austin Hays homered for the Orioles.

Baltimore's Dean Kremer pitched 6 1/3 innings, but allowed five hits and a pair of walks, leading to three earned runs. Kremer (5-2) entered the contest with a 3-0 record and 1.96 ERA in the month of May.

Neither pitcher allowed a batter to reach base in the first inning, but the Rangers' Adolis Garcia walked to begin the second. Kremer allowed the game's first run soon after, on Robbie Grossman's single to right field that scored Garcia from third base.

Garcia delivered once more, this time defensively, in the bottom of the second, as Baltimore's James McCann doubled with two outs. Adam Frazier lined a pitch to right field, and Garcia nailed McCann at the plate to preserve the lead.

Two innings later, Heim extended the Rangers' lead to 2-0, driving in Josh Jung, who opened the inning with a double. A two-run seventh allowed Texas additional breathing room. Baltimore reliever Bryan Baker came on with a runner on first and one out, and surrendered a double to Taveras and Semien's two-run single.

The Orioles had two hits off Heaney through the first three innings, but did not record another until the seventh, when Hays erased the shutout with a homer to lead off the inning.

Down 5-1, Baltimore rallied with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, with consecutive doubles from Ryan Mountcastle and Ramon Urias. Each drove in a run, cutting the deficit to two, but Texas reliever Will Smith put an end to the rally, striking out McCann for the final out.
