Orioles minor league recap 7/15: Mayo, Holliday debut at their new levels

Let’s call this one the “Build that trade value” game. Connor Norby, playing left field, led off the game with a home run, his 12th of the season. That’s his 10th home run since the end of April. He’s on a much better pace since then. Norby had two hits overall and drew a walk And you know who else had a great game? Shortstop Joey Ortiz, who began the second half of his season with a three-hit game.

These were hardly the only standouts, although they were the only Tides with multiple hits. Coby Mayo made his Triple-A debut in the game, collecting an RBI in his first plate appearance when he turned an 0-2 count into a bases loaded walk.
