Rangers lefty Jacob Latz has a no-hit bid through 6 innings against the Orioles; Texas leads 3-0

By Canadian Press on June 24, 2025.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Texas Rangers left-hander Jacob Latz has a no-hit bid through six innings of Tuesday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles.

The 29-year-old Latz has walked two and struck out four — including the last three hitters of the fifth inning. This is only the third start of Latz’s career. He’s coming off his longest outing in the majors — 5 2/3 innings of relief in a loss to Kansas City on Thursday.

Texas leads 3-0.

The Orioles went hitless for seven innings against Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt on Saturday before Gary Sanchez finally singled in the eighth off reliever JT Brubaker.

Latz has thrown 79 pitches and 52 strikes. His career high is 84 pitches in a start against Cleveland on Aug. 25, 2021.

Texas scored three runs in the fourth off Orioles starter Charlie Morton.
