For the second time this season, Trey Mancini hit two home runs in one game today. He was a player without a position going into spring training, but his willingness to learn the outfield (and the Orioles’ willingness to have subpar defenders out there) and his hot bat have earned him a place on the team for now. His bat is so hot, in fact, that other players want to give it a try.
With lefty J.A. Happ on the mound for the Blue Jays today, Mancini found himself in the lineup at his natural position of first base.
