The Baltimore Orioles have the top farm system in baseball according to MLB.com's rankings, and it was fairly clear why on Wednesday.
Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate, the Norfolk Tides, exploded for 26 runs in a 26-11 victory over the Charlotte Knights on Wednesday. ESPN noted the performance set Tides team records for runs, hits (29) and home runs (eight).
Kyle Stowers launched three of those long balls, while Heston Kjerstad added two with a 5-for-7 night and 10 RBI. Jackson Holliday, who is the No. 1 overall prospect on MLB.com's rankings, set the table at the top of the order with four hits and five runs scored.
