MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Some of you may have realized that Gleyber Torres has been doing fairly well against the Orioles this year. My bid for SB Nation’s “Most Drastic Understatement of the Year” award aside, with Thursday’s pinch-hit walk Torres is now hitting a bonkers .465/.540/1.233 against the Birds.
As Hoch reports, Torres has also become the first player in the history of MLB to hit 10 of his first 12 dingers against the same team. After watching the Yankees struggle inexplicably against the Orioles last year, Torres’ outburst against them has been nothing short of cathartic.
