| Breaking News |  | Friday, June 26th, 2020: Orioles Weeks to Miss 1-2 Weeks
After the end of today's game between Baltimore and New York (A), Rickie Weeks skipped the clubhouse and headed straight for the doctor's office. After he was removed from the game as a precaution after colliding with a player at a base, the Orioles had their worst fears confirmed when it turned out to be more serious. The second baseman will miss at least 1-2 weeks with a hyperextended knee.
This year Weeks is hitting .298 with 2 home runs and 12 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .359 clip and scored 17 runs. |

In an almost effortless performance, Norberto Borges of the Orioles shot down the Yankees 6-0 on a 2-hit shutout.
His skipper said, "Norberto was just locating so well and using his pitches...not leaving anything over the plate."
Borges recorded 5 strikeouts and 1 walk in a strong outing.
In the postgame press conference, the New York (A) manager said, "When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game like he can and we couldn't get a key hit off him."
On his 2020 stats sheet Borges shows a 7-4 record, 12 starts, 82.2 innings, 53 strikeouts and a 3.70 ERA. |
