Trey Mancini’s 13 home runs are the most by an Orioles rookie prior to the All-Star break since Eddie Murray hit 13 in 1977.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Orioles actually fell nine games shy of the all-time major league record for consecutive games allowing five runs or more held by the 1894 Louisville Colonels of the National League.

Closer Zach Britton threw a scoreless inning last night at Single-A Delmarva, walking one batter. He’ll pitch Monday night at Double-A Bowie.
