Alonso

Alonso put Baltimore ahead with a 400-foot shot off Red Sox starter Connelly Early into the iconic Green Monster at Fenway Park. The 31-year-old middle-of-the-order masher has gone deep four times in his last 15 games and is up to 12 round-trippers through 61 games in his Orioles debut.

Alonso opened the second inning with a single off of Spencer Miles and scored the game’s first run as Colton Cowser grounded out. He then extended that early lead with an RBI single in the third inning before scoring on Cowser’s three-run blast. With his two-hit attack, the 31-year-old slugger is now slashing .237/.318/.434 to go with 11 homers and 36 RBI on the season.

The Orioles had just one run on three hits and trailed by four going into the ninth inning. The team would rally in the final frame, bringing four runs home and loading the bases with one out. Alonso stepped in and delivered the walk-off base hit to bring home the winning run, his first walk-off as an Oriole. The 31-year-old slugger is hitting .232/.315/.433 with 11 homers, 32 runs scored, and 35 RBI across 254 plate appearances.

Alonso made the Tigers pay after an error extended the inning in the third, as he walloped a 2-1 fastball from Jack Flaherty for a 391-foot (104.4 mph EV) three-run shot that gave the Orioles a 3-2 lead. He also plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, increasing that advantage to 7-4. The 31-year-old slugger finished the evening 1-for-3 and is now hitting .229/.312/.448 with 10 homers and 32 RBI on the season.

Alonso hit balls 111.8, 108.5 and 106.8 mph today. With his average bat speed up nearly one mph from last month, he’s batting .276/.316/.546 with five homers in May.

Alonso opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 373-foot (107.0 mph EV) on a first-pitch changeup from Jacob Lopez in the fourth inning. That would be his only hit in the ballgame. For the season, the 31-year-old slugger is now slashing .226/.327/.459 to go with eight long balls and 22 RBI.

Alonso kicked off the scoring with a 403-foot moonshot to left-center field off Marlins starter Eury Pérez in the opening frame. It was his fourth round-tripper in his last nine games. The 31-year-old slugger has really turned it on recently, hitting .412 (7-for-17) in six games since the start of May.

Alonso did enough damage in the back-and-forth slugfest to allow Baltimore to pull out a late victory. He hammered a two-run double down the left-field line against Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara in the opening frame as part of a multi-hit effort where he also drew a pair of walks, reaching base safely in four of his five plate appearances. The 31-year-old middle-of-the-order threat is hitting .364 (8-for-22) with two homers and five RBI over his last seven games.

Alonso sparked a two-run rally with a leadoff double off of Max Fried in the fourth inning then scored on an RBI single off the bat of Leody Taveras. He hasn’t been quite as fearsome of an addition to the middle of the Orioles’ lineup as they would have hoped thus far, slashing a meager .214/.322/.421 with six homers and 15 RBI in his first 146 plate appearances.

Alonso homered for the second consecutive game in the series, taking Yankees southpaw Ryan Weathers deep in the fourth inning for a 413-foot no-doubter. It was his lone hit in four at-bats in the one-sided affair. The 31-year-old slugger has gone deep three times in his last five games and is up to six round-trippers on the year in his Orioles debut.
