Orioles minor league recap 5/3: Cowser and Ortiz lead Norfolk to a win over rival Durham

In the first of six games between the International League’s top two teams, Norfolk’s offense led them to a high-scoring win. The Tides raced out to an early 2-0 lead thanks to a two-run homer from outfielder Colton Cowser in the bottom of the first. It was Cowser’s fourth home run in his last 10 games, a stretch where he’s hit .375 with a 1.440 OPS. A solo homer from designated hitter Shayne Fontana stretched the lead to 2-0 before Cowser started another rally in the bottom of the third.
