BALTIMORE -- Cole Hamels left himself vulnerable for only an instant, and the Baltimore Orioles quickly took advantage of his very rare lapse.Using a three-run first inning and a solid pitching performance from Kevin Gausman, the Orioles beat Hamels and the Texas Rangers 3-2 on Wednesday night.Matt Wieters had two RBI for the Orioles, whose 39-16 record at home is the best in the majors. Baltimore will seek to complete a three-game sweep on Thursday in a series between first-place teams.The Orioles took control by using three hits and two walks to jump out to a 3-1 lead in the first inning. Hamels (12-3) steadied himself after that, but by then Baltimore had all the offense it needed.You want to be able to go out there and get ahead, Hamels said. Sometimes you are not able to find it in that first inning and that will definitely cost you. More times than not, you can try to scratch out a win, but its definitely my fault, with not being able to establish a strike zone in those key situations.Gausman (3-8) gave up two runs and seven hits in seven innings, striking out seven and walking one. The right-hander had won only two of his 18 starts this season and was coming off a horrid outing in which he allowed three homers and six runs over three innings at Toronto.And still, he was good enough to outpitch Hamels.You can give in to what conventionality says it should be like, or you can compete and look at it as an opportunity to present yourself real well, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.Showalter summed up the victory succinctly: It wasnt like we beat (Hamels) up or anything. We had one shot at it and we took advantage of it. And our pitching made it hold up.Darren ODay worked a perfect eighth and Zach Britton finished for his 33rd save in 33 tries.After his rocky first inning, Hamels retired 13 of the next 14 batters without allowing a hit.

New catcher Jonathan Lucroy also picked up his first RBI with the Rangers, and closer Jeremy Jeffress -- obtained in the trade with Milwaukee that landed Lucroy -- spent the night in the Texas bullpen after arriving earlier in the day.After Beltran hit his 23rd homer in the first inning, Baltimore took the lead for good in the bottom half. Mark Trumbo hit an RBI groundout and Wieters added a two-run single for a 3-1 lead.Lucroy delivered an RBI single in the second to get Texas within a run, but there was no more scoring by either team.Gausman -- like the Orioles -- seems to perform better at home. Hes 0-7 on the road but has won his last three starts at Camden Yards.I just feel comfortable pitching here, Gausman said.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: OF Shin-Soo Choo (lower back inflammation) hopes to be activated from the DL on Thursday. Everything feels like normal, he said. I feel like I can help this team.Orioles: Rookie OF Joey Rickard (thumb) wont be available before September.

NEW YORK -- Five days after he was traded, Andrew Miller was back at Yankee Stadium with the Cleveland Indians.Its kind of weird, the reliever said before Fridays series opener. Its not the most exciting thing to pitch against these guys after playing with them for the last year and a half.Miller signed a $36 million, four-year contract with the Yankees before the 2015 season, saved 36 games, then was bumped back to the eighth inning for much of this year after the Yankees acquired Aroldis Chapman from Cincinnati.Miller formed the Yankees No Runs DMC bullpen trip with Chapman and Dellin Betances.

I went by the clubhouse and was packing my bags, and he told me I was going to love it and the people and the organization were great, the city was great, this and that.

He pitched for Detroit (2006-07), Florida (2008-10), Boston (2011-14) and Baltimore (2014) before signing with New York.Obviously were all excited to see him, but maybe not so excited to see him in a game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Its a guy that impacted our clubhouse and our team in a year and a half as much as anyone Ive ever seen.Girardi praised Miller for his willingness to say, `Ill step down. I dont need to close. Lets just do whatever it takes to win here.Millers young son Max will miss playing in the Yankee Stadium family room. But dad already has adjusted to life after the Yankees. He was unshaven.Its more just me being lazy. I think Im not a huge fan of shaving, he said. If I dont have to, I probably wont very often.
