The Orioles lost to the Marlins 9-5 on Sunday. For two teams that have struggled to produce runs this season, it was a very offensive game. The game saw Delmon Young finally break through and hit two home runs. (Baltimore Orioles Official Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Young has lacked power this season, going 34 games without a home run. Young is hitting .303 in 119 at bats, with two home runs, and 13 RBI. He has struggled this season to produce for the Orioles offensively, and has really only been a solid defensive guy for them this season. Young made the highlight reel catch to rob A-Rod of his 661 home-run back in early May, Young's power stroke might be foreshadowing for what he could turn into. Hitting two home runs is a pretty big deal for a guy who has struggled this entire season to hit for power. It'll be interesting to see how Young reacts to this game going forward, this could translate into more production and more confidence. As of right now I would steer clear of Young seeing as he has not be consistent this season. But if he does start to produce, then he would be a solid depth guy that a team could add as a bench player down the stretch.
