    Baltimore Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn surprises staff, customers at Dunkin' 00:34

    BALTIMORE -- Baltimore Orioles' Gunnar Henderson struck out four times and had his on-base streak end at 36 games in their 11-2 loss against the Texas Rangers on Sunday at Camden Yards.

    Rangers rookie Wyatt Langford became the first major leaguer to hit for the cycle this season as Texas snapped a six-game skid.

    Derek Hill homered twice and Andrew Heaney (3-9) struck out 10 in seven innings for the Rangers, who had dropped the first three games of the series to fall nine games under .500. The defending World Series champions never trailed Sunday, scoring multiple runs in the second, fourth, fifth and eighth innings.

    Langford tripled in the fourth, doubled in the fifth and singled in the sixth. Then the 22-year-old outfielder hit a drive down the left-field line in the eighth for a three-run homer to make it 11-2.

    It was the first career four-hit game for Langford, who was drafted last year by the Rangers with the No. 4 overall pick and made a swift rise to the majors to make Texas' opening-day roster this season.

    Cole Irvin (6-5) allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings for the AL East-leading Orioles. Irvin was impressive to begin the season but has failed to make it through five innings in three consecutive starts for a Baltimore staff that has lost Kyle Bradish, John Means and Tyler Wells to season-ending injuries.

    Hill opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the second. The Orioles answered with Ryan O'Hearn's RBI single, but the Rangers extended their lead in the fourth when Nathaniel Lowe, Andrew Knizner and Josh Smith hit RBI singles.

    Baltimore's Heston Kjerstad made it 5-2 with an RBI double. Langford then doubled home a run, Lowe hit an RBI single and Hill added a solo homer.

    Henderson became the first player to commit to the All-Star Home Run Derby per an announcement during the game.
