Gunnar Henderson singled and walked twice on Wednesday in the Orioles’ loss to the Cardinals. Henderson kicked off the scoring with an RBI single in the third inning and wound up reaching base safely in three of his five plate appearances. The 22-year-old franchise cornerstone is in the midst of one of the best stretches of his young career, batting .280/.419/.840 with four homers and one steal over his last seven games.
Pham hits solo home run in loss
Tommy Pham went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Wednesday against the Blue Jays. Pham had a base hit in the third inning, but the White Sox were held without a run until the eighth. He started the frame with a solo blast off Génesis Cabrera. The 36-year-old outfielder is up to three homers and three steals while slashing .316/.356/.474 across 101 plate appearances.

Take the over. The total has gone over in four out of the Orioles’ last five games against the White Sox. The Orioles struggled offensively against the Cardinals in their previous series, but should rebound tonight. The White Sox have some of the worst pitching in the big leagues and if Baltimore can’t get to Clevinger, it should hammer Chicago’s bullpen.
