Soaring Orioles hovering atop the American League -- and their future could be even brighter

A weekend in the life of the Baltimore Orioles:

— On Friday night, they welcomed their former manager back to town, pounding Buck Showalter’s New York Mets 10-3. Rookie infielder Jordan Westburg hit a 424-foot home run and middle reliever Mike Baumann improved to 9-0 on the season. James McCann, whose salary is still largely covered by the Mets, drove in five runs against his former team.

— On Saturday, the Orioles honored their 1983 team, celebrating the 40th anniversary of their most recent World Series title. They beat the Mets 7-3 behind homers from Rookie of the Year candidate Gunnar Henderson and veteran Anthony Santander.
