Entering the second game the double header, White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton had hit 22 home runs in his nine year career. First baseman José Abreu had recorded 208 home runs over eight seasons. You can probably guess what I’m getting at.
Hamilton and Abreu both went deep to provide Chicago all the offense it would need. The Orioles made a few costly mistakes and ended up on the wrong end of a Saturday sweep. Baltimore dropped the second game 3-1 in seven innings.
John Means started for Baltimore and surrendered both of the blasts.
