On Friday, Aug. 9, Rio Ruiz was called up from Triple-A Norfolk. On Saturday, he homered. On Sunday, he homered again - and this time, it was a walk-off, capping off an 8-7 win over the Astros, one of the best Orioles wins of the season.
Here we are, nearly a month later, and the good times have continued to roll for the 25-year-old.
Since getting the call up from the Tides, to whom he was optioned on July 24, Ruiz has seen his fortunes at the plate improve.
