BALTIMORE -- Dylan Bundy wasnt going to go past the seventh inning, no matter what.So, quite unintentionally, the rookie gave up a hit to make life easier for manager Buck Showalter.Bundy took a no-hitter into the sixth inning for the second game in a row, Pedro Alvarez hit two of Baltimores four solo homers and the Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 on Tuesday night in a duel between AL division leaders.Making his fourth career start, Bundy allowed one hit and a walk over seven sparkling innings against a potent lineup featuring newcomers Carlos Beltran and Jonathan Lucroy.Bundy (4-3) retired the first 10 batters before issuing a fourth-inning walk to Ian Desmond, who was thrown out trying to steal as Beltran struck out. Elvis Andrus ended the rookies no-hit bid with a clean line drive up the middle with two outs in the sixth.The seventh was his last inning, regardless, Showalter said. That was a pretty good progression for him. He almost got through the sixth inning last time.In his previous outing, Bundy -- the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft -- retired the first 16 batters against Colorado before giving up three runs in the sixth.This time, Bundy capped his outing with a 1-2-3 seventh -- the farthest hes gone in the majors.I knew that was it for him, Showalter said. Usually, people stay away from the pitcher during no-hitters, but all the coaches were staying away from me. They were afraid I was going to ask what they thought.Facing the team with the ALs best record, Bundy struck out seven and didnt allow a runner past first base.What else can the right-hander accomplish?Mainly, just getting deeper in games and getting my arm built up, Bundy said. Still got to go above 90 (pitches).Bundy is not yet a finished product, but hes getting there.He threw the ball really well, Desmond said. Hes stingy. Didnt miss over the plate to me much.Texas closed to 4-1 in the eighth against Brad Brach before Darren ODay struck out Desmond with the bases loaded and two outs. ODay came back in the ninth to earn his third save.It was the second consecutive win for the Orioles following a five-game skid that temporarily dropped them out of first place in the AL East.Bundy outpitched Yu Darvish (2-3), who allowed three homers for only the second time in 90 major league appearances. Alvarez connected in the fifth and seventh innings, and Adam Jones went deep on an 0-2 pitch in the sixth.Darvish was pulled after Alvarezs second homer made it 3-0, and Matt Wieters greeted reliever Dario Alvarez with a shot to right.Facing the Orioles for the first time since taking the loss in the 2012 wild-card game, Darvish gave up three runs and struck out nine in his seventh start this season.He made progress, in my opinion, on how he threw the baseball, how he competed and just how he attacked the strike zone, manager Jeff Banister said. He had to pitch almost flawless with what Bundy was doing.The loss snapped the AL West-leading Rangers four-game winning streak. Playing with Texas for the first time since being obtained Monday in separate trades, Beltran went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and Lucroy was hitless with a walk but scored the Rangers lone run.MILESTONESRangers: Texas run of 14 straight games with a HR ended.Orioles: It was Showalters 518th win as Orioles manager, lifting him out of a tie with Paul Richards and into sole possession of second place on the teams career list. Earl Weaver is the leader with 1,480.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: OF Shin-Soo Choo (lower back inflammation) is getting close to coming off the disabled list, Banister said.UP NEXTRangers: Cole Hamels (12-2, 2.84 ERA) starts the second game of the series Wednesday. Hes 3-0 with an 0.84 ERA since the All-Star break.Orioles: Kevin Gausman (2-8, 4.18) has won only two of 18 starts this season and lost his only career appearance against Texas. Nike Shoes China .

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jim Harbaugh hailed Michigan and Notre Dame for finding a way to resume their rivalry.The two winningest programs in college football history announced Thursday they will play each other again: Notre Dame will host the Wolverines on Sept. 1 2018, and the storied series will shift to Michigan Stadium on Oct. 26, 2019.Two of footballs premier programs, Michigan and Notre Dame playing each other makes sense on every conceivable level and is good for football, good for the players and good for the fans, Harbaugh wrote in a text message to The Associated Press. Geographically it makes sense. In 2 to 2 2/1 hours we can get on a bus and be on their campus and in 2 to 2 1/2 hours they can get on a bus and be on our campus. Any other argument is a distraction, it makes sense, so lets play.Notre Dame opted out of its series with Michigan in 2012, canceling games in 2015-2017, two of which would have been at the Big House. The Fighting Irish said at the time the move was a necessary precaution as it began the process of a scheduling commitment to the ACC.Weve wanted to make this happen for quite some time, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly insisted.Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said that he and his counterpart at Michigan, Warde Manuel, had worked together to renew a rivalry that ended when Swarbrick handed former athletic director Dave Brandon a letter on the field at Notre Dame prior to the game four years ago.Today is a great day for Notre Dame, Michigan and college football fans across the country, Swarbrick said. While the schedule commitments of both Notre Dame and Michigan make an annual series impractical, were optimistic that additional games can be scheduled in the future.The move came at a cost: Michigan will pay Arkansas $2 million to cancel a home-and-home series in 2018-19.Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long, who previously worked for Michigans football program and athletic department, was informed the Wolverines were opting out of the series via e-mail Wednesday night.Primarily, we are disappointed in Michigans timing in pulling out of a non-conference football series between the SEC and the Big Ten that has been set for four years, Long said. While there are many other quality opponents that would help us strengthen our non-conference schedule, the late notice of Michigans caancellation makes securing those games substantially more difficult.ddddddddddddRazorbacks coach Bret Bielema, a former Wisconsin coach, added: As a former player and coach in the Big Ten, I was looking forward to the opportunity for our team to compete against one of my favorite Big Ten conference rivals. Im disappointed that wont happen now.The Big Ten also moved the Wolverines home game against Rutgers from Oct. 26, 2019, to Sept. 28 of the same year to make room. Manuel thanked officials at Arkansas and Rutgers for their help so we could bring this Notre Dame rivalry back to the field.The rivalry dates to 1887, and Michigan leads the all-time series 24-17-1.We are having on-going discussions regarding extending the series with Notre Dame but nothing is finalized, Manuel said. I look forward to working with Jack (Swarbrick) to try to accomplish this common goal while striving to achieve a balance of seven home games each season. Scheduling is a fluid process and we need to be strategic in the way we schedule out into the future.Former Michigan star receiver Desmond Howard was thrilled to learn the series was coming back. Howard made a diving catch in the end zone against Notre Dame on a fourth-and-1 in the fourth quarter in 1991, helping Michigan win the game and him the Heisman Trophy.The disappointment that we all felt, not only former players who understood the significance of the series in college football, has been flipped upside down now that Notre Dame has finally figured out that this rivalry is good for them and good for college football, Howard said in a telephone interview with the AP. Playing them in late October is a very weird spot on the calendar, but with conference alignment, this is where we are in college football. At least its on the schedule again.Conference realignment has contributed to the loss rivalries including Texas vs. Texas A&M and Kansas vs. Missouri. Notre Dame and Michigan will soon leave that list.Im excited to see Notre Dame and Michigan, two brand-name programs, get back together on the football field, Kelly said.---Follow Larry Lage at http://www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage ' ' '
