On Sunday afternoon, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 9–2 at Tropicana Field.
Rutschman, the former first overall pick in the draft, has established himself as the Orioles’ young captain. He is a dynamic switch-hitter at the plate and an exceptional pitcher’s assistant. With 13 home runs and 49 RBI this season, his batting average is.306.
Rutschman, who is currently in his third major league season, is certain to eclipse his previous season’s career-high 20 home runs. He has already been selected as an All-Star once, and it appears that he will fight for a berth on the American League team this coming season.
In the American League East, the Orioles are 2.5 games behind the New York Yankees going into Monday’s play. They will play the Rays again after winning seven of their previous ten games.
