Adley Rutschman (C - BOS)
9/4/26 2:10 AM - Adley Rutschman returns to Camden Yards — and homers twice for the Red Sox. Adley Rutschman homered twice in his return to Camden Yards, hitting solo shots in the first and sixth innings for Boston in a 6-5 win at Baltimore. Rutschman received a standing ovation from the crowd — and from the Baltimore dugout — when he came to the plate with two outs in the first. Then he slugged a 1-1 pitch from Brandon Young over the wall in right field. It was the All-Star catcher's 10th homer of the season and second since being traded from the Orioles to the Red Sox in early August. Then, with Boston down 3-1 in the sixth, he hit another ball to nearly the same spot.
