Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Smacks homer in win
Rotowire
O'Hearn went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.
O'Hearn has hit safely in his last six games, going 8-for-19 (.421) in that span. The homer was his first since April 16, but the 30-year-old continues to demolish right-handed pitching. He's up to a .307/.381/.573 slash line with five homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored, three doubles and a triple over 84 plate appearances this season. He should continue to see a strong-side platoon role, mainly as the designated hitter but also with occasional looks in the corner outfield or at first base.

Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Swats solo homer
Rotowire
O'Hearn went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during Sunday's win over the Brewers.
O'Hearn's hot start to 2024 continued Sunday, as he notched his 10th and 11th hits in 12 games played. He took Colin Rea yard in the third inning for a solo home run, marking his second long ball of the season -- both of which have come off right-handed pitching. With Baltimore expected to face three right-handed starters during a homestand against the Twins that starts Monday, O'Hearn should have plenty of opportunities to keep raking.
