    Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Drives in four runs in blowout win

    Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional RBI and three runs scored during Friday's 22-8 win over the Rays.

    Sanchez contributed to seven of the Orioles' 22 runs in Friday's blowout, including a two-run home run off Eric Orze in the fifth inning to give Baltimore a one-run lead. Sanchez tied a season high with four RBI and has recorded at least one hit in eight of 10 games since returning from the injured list in mid-June. He'll continue to serve as the Orioles' primary backstop until Adley Rutschman (oblique) returns from the IL, which isn't expected to happen until after the All-Star break.

    Ruiz was struck by a foul ball while in the dugout during Monday's game against the Pirates. He was initially placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but he was diagnosed with a concussion after seeing a specialist.
