Tuesday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles found their bats again

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

OK, so maybe these Orioles do still know how to hit after all?

After a total offensive blackout in their four-game series in the Bronx, the O’s rediscovered their bats in a big way last night, punishing Braves pitchers for 14 runs, including a nine-run third inning. The onslaught included home runs by Ryan Mountcastle, Jose Iglesias, Pat Valaika, and of course, DJ “Dingerin’ Jesus” Stewart. (Let’s get that nickname trending!) Iglesias tied a career best with a four-hit game, while Mountcastle, Stewart, Cedric Mullins, and fresh-off-the-IL Austin Hays each had multi-hit games as well.
