Jurickson Profar crushed two HRs and plenty of Orioles fans’ hearts, as the All-Star powered the Padres to a 6-4 win Friday.
Profar—the childhood teammate of former Oriole Jonathan Schoop—got his first long ball in the 6th inning to erase an Orioles lead. Entering the top of the 6th, the O’s led 2-0 and Grayson Rodriguez had shut the Padres down through the first five frames. Former All-Star Luis Arraez led off the inning by bouncing a single up the middle, bringing up the 2024 All-Star starter Profar. Rodriguez got the count to 2-2, and looked like he punched out the San Diego outfielder, only for HP umpire Sean Barber to call a close fastball a ball.
