## Resource

Blaze Alexander’s promising day at the plate was cut short when he was hit by a pitch, fracturing his left hand and forcing him out of the game — a major blow for the Orioles as they chase a playoff push. Before exiting, he’d scored two runs, walked, and was 2-for-2, continuing his breakout season with elite power and versatility across multiple positions. His absence now pushes the team to rely more on Coby Mayo at third and could accelerate trade deadline moves for another utility bat. Despite the loss, the Orioles still won, extending their streak to four — but without Alexander’s all-around impact, the road ahead just got tougher.
