    Nelson Cruz took a slow trot around the bases after hitting a towering three-run homer in his return to Texas.

    The Baltimore Orioles slugger wasn't really savoring the moment. He was cramping so bad that he almost didn't even take that final at-bat in the eighth inning.

    Cruz hit the first pitch thrown by Shawn Tolleson, the fourth Rangers reliever, an estimated 404 feet deep into the left field seats to cap a tiebreaking six-run outburst as the Orioles won 8-3 on Tuesday night.
