The homer would have left just six ballparks, but it was scalded at 106 mph and traveled 395 feet. All three of his balls in play were hard-hit line drives today, so it seems like he’s found his swing after struggling some in his first week back from a rib-cage strain.

Cedric Mullins is going to lead off against righties for a spell here, so Henderson is hitting in the two hole for now. The homer was his first in 11 games since he returned from his side injury, and it also gave him his first RBI.

This might be a response to the Orioles facing a lefty, though Henderson did lead off the previous time that happened. Henderson is hitting just .206/.229/.294 in eight games since returning from an intercostal strain, but since that’s come with a 67% hard-hit rate, there doesn’t seem like any reason for concern. The Orioles also have Jorge Mateo, Ramón Laureano and Gary Sánchez starting versus Logan Allen tonight, resulting in Jackson Holliday, Heston Kjerstad and Ryan O’Hearn all sitting.
