have already set or equaled a bunch of franchise records this season. Rarely a week goes by without the Orioles settingThe Orioles pulverized the Rays with a unique power display, clubbing two home runs , two doubles and three triples.
For the first time in franchise history, the O’s hit three triples and a grand slam in the same game.Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Jordan Westburg supplied the three-baggers. Cowser laced his first career triple with two outs in the top of the sixth inning, knocking in Westburg and extending the Orioles' lead to 3-0. Unfortunately, he was stranded at third as Ramon Urias grounded out to end the frame.
Getting three triples in a modern MLB game is incredibly difficult, as they have been declining across the sport for years due to smaller ballparks and better outfield defense. Baltimore entered Sunday's contest with just 13 triples through its first 63 games -- an average of one triple every 4.8 games. Sunday's performance speaks to the team's youth, speed, athleticism, hustle and aggressive approach on the bases.
