Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! I hope you had a relaxing holiday weekend. The Orioles celebrated the 4th of July with a win, walking off against the Texas Rangers thanks to a very ill-time hit by pitch from Rangers’ pitcher Matt Moore. A bases-loaded plunking of Jorge Mateo in the bottom of the 10th inning secured the victory, probably along with a nice bruise on the leg.
You can get all of the details of yesterday’s win, and vote in the Most Birdland Player poll, in Paul Folkemer’s game recap.
The Mateo HBP yesterday was the second in the game as Austin Hays took one in the wrist in the second inning and now the team has been hit 50 times, most in the American League.
