Santander Hits 35th Home Run in Orioles' Loss

Anthony Santander of the Baltimore Orioles has been on a remarkable run, hitting his 35th home run of the season during a 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Santander's solo home run was the Orioles' only score in the game, which saw them fall into a tie with the New York Yankees atop the AL East. Despite the loss, Santander's performance this season has been impressive, putting him on pace for 48 home runs. His consistent preparation and work ethic have been key to his success, as noted by co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller. The Orioles’ left-hander Trevor Rogers struggled in his Camden Yards debut, allowing five runs over five-plus innings. The game also featured strategic plays by the Rays, including a tiebreaking sacrifice fly by Curtis Mead and a club-tying four stolen bases in the eighth inning.
