Nico Hoerner News: Three hits against O's

Hoerner went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles.

It was Hoerner's sixth multi-hit performance in 14 games since the All-Star break, a stretch in which the 28-year-old infielder is batting .358 (19-for-53) with a homer, three steals, seven runs and seven RBI.
