Adley Rutschman returns to Camden Yards and homers in his first at-bat for the Boston Red Sox during a game against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night. He hits his first-inning home run after receiving a standing ovation as he comes to the plate with two outs.
Rutschman’s ovation is echoed across both the stands and the Baltimore dugout, reflecting his connection to the Orioles. He is the No. 1 overall pick by Baltimore in 2019. Yahoo Sports reports the homer is his 10th of the season and notes he has already played for the Red Sox since being traded from the Orioles in early August.
One outlet also reports that he hits two home runs in his return, while another describes only a homer in the first inning. Other details, including the crowd reaction and the significance of the game at Camden Yards, are consistent across sources.
