Orioles take over 1st place in AL East, set franchise record for homers in a month

The Baltimore Orioles took over first place in the American League East with a 6–5 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday. While that was probably the most important headline coming out of Camden Yards, the Orioles also set some franchise slugging history in the victory.

Anthony Santander's second-inning home run off Michael Lorenzen was Baltimore's 59th home run in June, which set a team record for most homers in a calendar month. With his 13th homer this month, Santander also set an individual franchise mark for most home runs in June.
