ESPN-BALTIMORE (AP) --
The Texas Rangers (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=tex) became the first team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game, setting an American League record Wednesday in a 30-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=bal).
Trailing 3-0 in the opener of a doubleheader, the Rangers scored five runs in the fourth, nine in the sixth, 10 in the eighth and six in the ninth.
It was the ninth time a major league team scored 30 runs, the first since Chicago set the major league scoring record in a 36-7 rout of Louisville in a National League game on June 28, 1897, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=7939) and Ramon Vazquez (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6815), the bottom two batters in Texas' lineup, each finished with seven RBIs.
The Rangers' 29 hits were the most in the major leagues since Milwaukee had 31 in a 22-2 victory over Toronto on Aug. 28, 1992, according to Elias.
