Morel blasts solo homer in win
Christopher Morel blasted a solo homer on Wednesday, powering the Cubs to a 4-0 victory over the Orioles. Morel’s 412-foot moonshot off Orioles ace Corbin Burnes in the second inning put Chicago on the scoreboard and served as a tone-setting blast in a rare low-scoring affair at hitter-friendly Camden Yards. It was his 16th big fly of the season and first time he’s gone deep since June 23.
Mountcastle collects three hits
Ryan Mountcastle went 3-for-5 on Wednesday in the Orioles’ shutout loss to the Cubs. Mountcastle was the lone Orioles batter to record multiple hits during Wednesday’s shutout loss at the hands of the Cubs as they were completely stifled by lefty Shota Imanaga for six frames to open the contest before a trio of relievers came on to slam the door. Baltimore’s offense had plenty of opportunities, but went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on-base. Not great.
