Who came up bigger for the Baltimore Orioles last night – J.J. Hardy or Mark Trumbo? It’s really tough to say; I suppose that if we had to pick one guy it would probably be Hardy. Not only did he hit two separate two-run homers, but he wrapped both of them around the “Pesky Pole” in right field at Fenway.
While that’s one of the only spots in baseball where one can basically hit a cheap home run, the angle makes it tough to do. Hardy basically hit two of them to virtually the same place in the ballpark.
