Alonso’s Calf Concerns and Playoff Push | Baltimore Orioles News

Pete Alonso is heating up for the Orioles — slashing four-for-four with a homer and four RBIs — but was pulled Tuesday night on a “precautionary” basis due to a calf issue. Manager Craig Albernaz brushed off questions about whether this is the same calf that cramped earlier this month against the Rays, shutting down speculation with a defensive “don’t put words in my mouth.” Despite the mystery, Alonso’s been unstoppable since the All-Star break, hitting .340 with 10 homers — a massive rebound after a slow start for the $155M man. With the Orioles three games back in the wild-card race, Alonso’s bat might be their best shot at playoff contention.
