The high-A Frederick Keys were off last night but there was still plenty of baseball to be played. The Orioles’ affiliates went 2-1 on the evening as both the Shorebirds and Tides broke out with big offensive performances.
Norfolk Tides 8, Louisville Bats (CIN) 2
The Tides racked up 13 hits in this game with only lead off man Michael Bourn going hitless. Drew Dosch and Johnny Giavotella led the way with three hits each, and while Pedro Alvarez had just one hit, it was his 4th home run of the season.
