Orioles minor league recap 7/28: Norby and Kjerstad lead Norfolk win

The Tides snapped a season-worst three-game losing streak with a comeback win over the Sounds, falling behind 3-0 in the first inning but scoring five unanswered runs the rest of the way. The top two hitters in the lineup, prospects Connor Norby and Heston Kjerstad, combined for five hits, three runs, and two RBIs. Each hit a double, and Kjerstad added a home run, his sixth at Triple-A and 17th of the year overall. He’s hitting .343 with a 1.012 OPS in 36 games for Norfolk. Seems good! Among the other big name prospects in the stacked Tides lineup, Coby Mayo contributed a two-run single, while Joey Ortiz and César Prieto each took 0-fers.
