Craig Gentry was working his way back from a fractured rib when the Orioles overhauled their roster at the end of last month – trading several franchise cornerstones to stockpile prospects for the future – so when he rejoined the team 11 days ago, he returned to a clubhouse that looked much different than the one the left.
Since returning, Gentry is 10-for-29, hitting .344 in eight games (seven starts), and in the Orioles’ 12-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday night at Camden Yards, Gentry had three hits – his third multihit game in his last give starts – and hit his first home run in nearly a full year.
