We start this tale of twists and turns in the fourth inning with Connor Norby, just called up a day ago with infielder Jorge Mateo nursing a sore elbow, at the plate against Miami starter Roddery Muñoz. Norby put a beautiful swing on a fastball, and bam, the Orioles had a 6-0 lead. Meanwhile, from the bullpen, lefty Cionel Pérez stretched out his cap and casually snagged the home run ball on the fly.

From that same cap, Cionel Pérez would have to pull something else, a little Orioles magic in the tenth inning to stave off an embarrassing sweep at the hands of one of the worst teams in the league.
