Desmond Socks it to Orioles, Cracks 5 Hits
Ian Desmond exploded for a barrage of base hits today at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

The Boston first baseman had a field day in the 22-7 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles, finishing 5-for-7.

"My hitting philosophy is simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch."

Desmond must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too, leading to one of his best days ever with the bat. Ian Desmond grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Nick Markakis in the 6th, struck out in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

In 2020 Desmond has hit at a .269 clip with 59 hits, 15 home runs, 38 RBIs and has scored 35 times.
