Asked for his thoughts after a 7-5 come-from-behind win over the Red Sox—the Orioles’ fifth comeback win in 11 games—manager Brandon Hyde commented, “That was a pretty young team out there.” Meanwhile, the MASN broadcast played a song that called out, “The Moment is Now.” Not a great tune, but a pretty good image for Wednesday’s game.
The Orioles’ youth movement has arrived.
Wednesday night’s win at Fenway Park featured key contributions from Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman, Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg, and Jackson Holliday. None of the five were pro ball players before the Baltimore Orioles turned a page and hired new GM Mike Elias late in 2019.
