Sean Murphy Hits Another Home Run
Sean Murphy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in his team's 2-1 loss to the visiting Baltimore Orioles. He added a double. The 30-year-old supplied his team's only run in the loss -- a ninth-inning blast off Orioles reliever Seranthony Dominguez that traveled 411 feet to straight-away center field. Murphy is up to 13 homers on the season now, and four in his last seven appearances. He's barreled the ball exceptionally in 2025 (16.5%), but carries an unappealing .229 xBA and ghastly 32% strikeout rate. Fellow backstop Drake Baldwin had garnered more consistent playing time than Murphy in June, but that has shifted slightly since the end of the month. Baldwin is far and away the better hitter, but the veteran is hot right now.
