David Ortiz with a 32.4 home run trot… Slowest of the season. He now owns 3 of the top 5.

All teams experience their fair share of injuries. The Orioles are just trying to squeeze theirs into a single week. The Birds have their very own MASH unit, with J.J. Hardy and Zach Britton going down in a short period of time. The prospects of getting Britton back are much rosier. Hardy has a hairline fracture in the foot he fouled a ball off during Sunday’s game, and will most likely miss 6-8 weeks.
With those key injuries, the team is begin to show cracks in the veneer.  Can they fill in the gaps and still keep everything afloat?
