Saturday doubleheader could see Orioles set early season record for home runs allowed

With teams combining for 730 home runs through 560 games entering play Friday, Major League Baseball is on pace to see a record number of home runs for the second time in three seasons.

The Orioles, having allowed a league-high 46 home runs in 20 games, are on their own record pace. With 11 games remaining in April, including two Saturday in a doubleheader with the Minnesota Twins following Friday’s rainout, the Orioles are only four shy of the 1996 Detroit Tigers’ record of 50 home runs allowed before May 1.
