Alonso

Alonso connected for a solo shot off Dylan Lee in the bottom of the eighth, cutting the deficit to 2-1 at the time. He’s up to 22 homers on the year in his first campaign since signing with the Orioles. Alonso’s wRC+ isn’t as high as the mark he registered hitting alongside Juan Soto last season, but it’s right in line with the two prior seasons. He’s one of the most stable first-base options in fantasy baseball year in and year out.

Alonso’s home run was his 21st of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Noah Cameron in the fourth inning. Alonso also doubled and scored in the second inning. He’s hitting .253 with an .826 OPS and 64 RBI in his first season in Baltimore.

After four straight seasons as an NL All-Star, Alonso failed to get chosen initially in his first year in the AL. Still, he might be added to the squad with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stepping aside. Alonso is up to .254/.347/.472 after a slow start to the season. He’s tied for ninth in the AL with 19 homers and is third with 60 RBI.

Alonso put the Orioles on the board in the first inning with a two-run homer off Zack Littell, a 105.1 mph blast going 437 feet. The 31-year-old slugger is up to 19 homers while hitting .252/.342/.478 with 53 runs scored and 58 RBI across 368 plate appearances. Alonso has improved with each month in Baltimore, hitting .288 with eight homers in June.

Alonso’s fourth three-hit game of the year raised his OPS to .815, his high mark since Apr. 1. He’s batting .300/.402/.588 with seven homers in June.

Alonso now has 18 home runs and 52 RBI on the season to go along with a .249/.337/.475 slash line. The Orioles may not be as competitive as he was hoping when he signed, but the 31-year-old has shown once again that he has the raw power to be productive in any home ballpark. He has seven home runs in June alone, and the ball should continue to fly as the weather warms up.

Alonso tied the game at 3-3 with a solo homer off Roki Sasaki. In his first season with the Orioles, the man they call Polar Bear has homered 17 times, and he’s driven in 49 runs. Six of those homers have come in the month of June, and he’s forged an impressive .955 OPS in the month to go with them.

Alonso delivered one of his strongest performances of the season on an otherwise forgettable afternoon for Baltimore. He took Padres starter Randy Vásquez deep with two outs in the opening frame and also added an RBI double in the seventh inning as part of a three-hit effort. The power-hitting 31-year-old is scorching hot of late, hitting .326 (15-for-46) with five homers and 12 RBI in 12 games since the start of June.

Alonso drew a two-out walk in the opening inning and scored on a two-run blast by Samuel Basallo. He then delivered a two-out, two-run single in the second inning that extended the Orioles’ lead to 6-2. Alonso is now slashing .245/.329/.457 to go along with 15 long balls and 46 RBI on the season.

Alonso capped off a six-run uprising off of Bryan Woo in the third inning by ambushing a first-pitch sweeper for a 439-foot (110.6-mph EV) two-run shot. That would be his only hit in four at-bats in the contest. The 31-year-old slugger seems to be enjoying his first season with the O’s, slashing .243/.320/.455 with 15 homers, 44 RBI and two swipes in 303 plate appearances.
