BALTIMORE \u2014 The Orioles played a double header on Thursday. The first game was a scene from the field of dreams. Baltimore beat Houston 10-3.<\/p>\n
While the second was more of a nightmare, as the Orioles would go on to lose 11-5.<\/p>\n
Game one featured grand slams from Adley Rutschman and Jeremiah Jackson. Both bats have been on a heater lately.<\/p>\n
For Rutschman, three of his four homers have been hit over six games since returning from the injured list on April 21.<\/p>\n
Jackson’s six homers on this season are a career high, hitting this mark in 29 games after hitting five in 48 games last season.<\/p>\n
Pitcher Chris Bassitt got his second consecutive victory. Bassitt would get seven strikeouts and only allowed one run on seven hits.<\/p>\n
In the second game, pitcher Brandon Young got his first loss of the season. He allowed 10 runs on 10 hits, with two walks and two strikeouts.<\/p>\n
The bats also didn’t muster up much in the second affair; however, Leody Taveras notched a two-run triple in the fourth inning of game two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BALTIMORE \u2014 The Orioles played a double header on Thursday.
