The Orioles appeared to be on the brink of another exciting late-inning comeback on Tuesday night, but there’s this guy named Mookie Betts who simply cannot be contained at Camden Yards.
Betts, who hit five home runs over two games here the last time he was in town, hit two more and provided all the offense the Boston Red Sox needed to score a 5-3 victory and tighten the already razor-close American League East standings.
He delivered the kind of heroics Red Sox fans have come to expect from their MVP candidate, who has 28 home runs, 89 RBI and leads the major leagues with 285 total bases.
