Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman provided all of his team’s offense in the Orioles’ 3-2 loss to the Cubs on Saturday afternoon. In that contest, Rutschman went 1 for 4 with a 2-run homer in the fifth inning off of Chicago starter Justin Steele. Rutschman is having a terrific season as he’s slashing .281/.390/.438 with 10 doubles, 10 homers, and 31 RBIs on the campaign. Rutschman has an OPS of .893 with 3 extra-base hits in the last 7 days, and he’s a good candidate to stay hot on Sunday.

Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner had a productive day in his club’s 3-2 win over the Orioles on Saturday. Hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup, Hoerner went 2 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 RBIs. For the season Hoerner is slashing .288/.340/.385 across 282 plate appearances. Hoerner has posted some nice counting stats as well as he has 39 runs scored, 4 homers, 33 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases.
