Sure, a lot of hitters around the majors are having their way with the lowly O's these days, as evidenced by the 105 home runs their pitchers have allowed through 49 games this season.
But no other hitter has put together the kind of nightly power-hitting display against Baltimore that Torres, the New York Yankees' 22-year-old shortstop, has.
In 11 games against Orioles pitching this season, Torres has 10 homers, with his latest coming in the third and fifth innings of Wednesday's game at Camden Yards. Both blasts gave the Yankees needed breathing room as the Orioles hunted a comeback.
