Mountcastle homers twice as Orioles destroy Athletics, 8-1

That was fun!

The Orioles dominated the Athletics with the long ball tonight, making up for some shaky starting pitching to clinch the series and do what a good team should do to a bad team. The end result was a 8-1 win that put the Orioles 10 games over .500 and allowed them to keep pace with their wild card rivals.

It was not only great to see the Orioles put up such a good win, it was great to see it done with so many possible pieces of the Orioles future. The lineup featured the first three draft picks from 2019 in Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, and Kyle Stowers.
