Wells hits solo home run
Austin Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Tuesday. Wells came into today as perhaps one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball. He had a 12.2 percent barrel rate and a .275 expected batting average but just a .167 actual average. He also had a .490 xSLG compared to a .208 SLG. He continued to make solid contact on both his balls in play today with a 97.4 mph single and a 102.6 mph home run that traveled 414 feet. A hot streak may be just around the corner.
Rutschman collects two hits in win vs. NYY
Adley Rutschman went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday. It wasn’t an exceptional day for Rutschman on Tuesday, but he was the only Oriole to pick up multiple hits. His two singles upped his triple slash to .322/.362/.449 with 18 RBI on the season. He has a surprisingly low 5.7 percent walk rate on the season, but the rest of the profile has been exactly as expected for one of the best fantasy catchers in the game.
