The Orioles didn’t acquire Seth Smith for his power stroke, but they obviously knew he had a pretty good one.
Lest anyone forget, he was the guy who hit a home run for the Seattle Mariners in each game of a four-game sweep of the Orioles at Safeco Field last season, so no one should've been surprised when he hammered a two-run shot onto the flag court in the seventh Friday night to bring the Orioles from behind in a 6-5 victory over the New York Yankees at Camden Yards.
