Adley Rutschman launches two home runs in first return to Baltimore since being traded

[p]Both of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/rutschman-adley/pIav2ofe/"]Rutschman[/a]'s home runs came off starting pitcher and former teammate [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/young-brandon/IoE01sXb/"]Brandon Young[/a] to bring his season total to 11.[/p][embed guid="88a94975-729c-4f1a-8a0e-09a6545678d8" url="https://x.com/MLB/status/2095671895630753918?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]Rutschman, 28, was greeted with a standing ovation before his first home run earlier in the top of the first inning. Both home runs landed in almost the exact same spot next to the right field wall. [/p][p]He's now slashing a brutal .196/.274/.375 with three home runs for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/boston-red-sox/zaXTinF3/"]Boston[/a] since being traded.[/p][embed guid="8540af11-593d-429a-b710-20b77d157cdf" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcl7P9Po_bw" social-type="youtube" /][p]In the deal with the Sox, the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/baltimore-orioles/EcZwBi3N/"]Orioles[/a] received catcher [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/narvaez-carlos/Q1G5FiiK/"]Carlos Narvaez[/a], Red Sox No. 2 prospect Anthony Eyanson (RHP, Double-A), No. 4 prospect Kyson Witherspoon (RHP, High-A), and No. 5 prospect [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/azocar-enddy/YD0OmE0m/"]Enddy Azocar[/a] (OF, High-A).[/p][p]It marked the biggest trade between the division rivals since 2014, when the Orioles traded for relief pitcher [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/miller-andrew/6iR04Ka4/"]Andrew Miller[/a].[/p][p]Rutschman is one of the most coveted catchers in the league. The three-time All-Star switch-hitter is slashing .241/.321/.422 between both the O's and Red Sox in an injury-riddled season.[/p][p]Unless Rutchman plays in all 22 of the remaining Red Sox games this season, he will go back-to-back years without reaching 100. [/p][infobox id="3e982646-21d3-4baf-ac34-10f731dff476" /]
