Thursday July 6th, 2023 will forever be remembered as the day GUNNAR HENDERSON took over Yankee Stadium. The Orioles rookie shortstop put together a performance for the history books in leading the Orioles offense to their best performance of the season—scoring a 14-1 win in the Bronx.
GUNNAR gave all of Birdland a sign of things to come in the very first at-bat of the game. After working the count full against Yankees starter Luis Severino, GUNNAR launched a fastball on the outer half of the plate around the left field foul pole for lead-off home run. It was the best start the Orioles could hope for, but it was only just the beginning.
