Orioles minor league recap 8/19: Adley Rutschman hits his first Triple-A home run

Adley Rutschman smacked his first Triple-A home run as part of a 3-for-4 game, although the solo shot was his lone RBI. Jahmai Jones also left the yard for the ninth time this year, and Tyler Nevin added a double. Yusniel Diaz singled, and both Robert Neustrom and Zach Jarrett walked.

It was’t Kevin Smith’s finest day on the bump. He used 74 pitches to get through 4.1 innings, surrendering four runs on seven hits, one walk, and six strikeouts. But it was the long ball that hurt him as all four runs came on four one-run homers.
