It’s no surprise that the Orioles’ reversal of fortunes this week came as their do-it-all center fielder Cedric Mullins broke out of his longest slump of the season.
The first-time All-Star spent the first half of the Orioles’ recent 19-game losing streak extending a 20-game hitting streak, but cooled off significantly after that accomplishment. He came alive with a leadoff home run in the streak-busting victory Wednesday night and was involved in plenty of the Orioles’ offense in Thursday afternoon’s 13-1 win.
When the Orioles win, Mullins has often been a big part of it this season.
