Many were surprised to see the Boston Red Sox activate Mookie Betts from the disabled list this week without a rehab stint in Pawtucket. We should have known better. The only environment for Betts to regain his rhythm at the plate better than the minors is facing the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
Peter Angelos may be the owner of the Orioles but on the field, it’s Betts who owns them.
In only his second game since returning from the DL, Betts blasted a 413 foot shot to center field to put the Red Sox on the board.
