BALTIMORE — June 25, 2025 — The Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles wrap up their three-game set on Wednesday evening at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with both teams eyeing a critical series win as they try to build midseason momentum.
Texas (39-41) will send Jacob deGrom to the hill in the series finale, marking another key step in his ongoing return to full form after injuries sidelined him for most of the 2024 season. The two-time Cy Young winner has flashed signs of dominance in recent outings and will aim to anchor a Rangers squad that has gone 10-6 over its last 16 games.
Opposing deGrom is Brandon Young, a promising arm in Baltimore’s rotation. Young, who’s continuing to find his rhythm at the big-league level, will face a Rangers lineup that produced just enough offense on Tuesday to secure a 6-5 extra-inning victory after being shut out 6-0 in Monday’s series opener.
The rubber match has added intrigue with the two clubs set to face off again in Arlington next week, making this contest not only a tone-setter for the remainder of the road trip but a potential postseason tiebreaker down the line.

- Clutch Carter: Rookie Evan Carter’s heads-up baserunning and game-winning slide stole the show in Game 2. His impact at the top of the lineup continues to be a spark for Bruce Bochy’s squad.
- Bats to Watch:
- Rangers: Josh Smith carries a 10-game hitting streak, and Adolis García remains a force in the middle of the order.
- Orioles: Ryan O’Hearn (.305 AVG) and Gunnar Henderson remain threats, while rookie Jackson Holliday looks to rebound from a rough night at the plate.
The Rangers will aim to get back to .500 before heading to Kansas City, while Baltimore (34-45) is trying to avoid a sixth loss in eight games. With two high-powered arms on the mound and recent drama in the series, Wednesday’s rubber match has all the makings of a high-stakes showdown.
