4 months agoBaltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman collected four hits in Wednesday's 12-8 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Rutschman went 4-for-5 at the plate while driving in one run. Despite his exceptional performance at the plate, the O's were outmatched by the Guardians who compiled 17 hits. The 25-year-old boosted his slash line to .289/.411/.443 with eight homers and a 135 OPS+. He has amassed 15 extra-base hits along with a .305 BAPIP. Rutschman has played a vital role in the Orioles' hot start to the season and is arguably the most dominant backstop in the game. Rutschman hopes to maintain his excellence at the plate as the O's travel to San Francisco for a three-game set.--Rephael Negnewitzky
