It might not be an ending out of "The Natural," but the aura surrounding Trey Mancini’s bat supply after the Orioles’ 11-4 win over the Blue Jays was worthy of a Hollywood script.
Mancini had his second two-homer game in three games, and his seven career homers are tied for the most by any player through his first 12 major league games. Colorado’s Trevor Story did it last season and Pittsburgh’s Dino Restelli in 1949.
After Mancini hit his second homer Sunday, a mammoth solo home run to the deepest part of The Rogers Centre that landed in the center field batter’s eye area, his Orioles teammates wanted a part of Mancini’s home run mojo.
