Big day in Friday's win
Basallo went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox.
Analisi
The 21-year-old slugger drove a Brayan Bello cutter into the right-center field seats in the third inning, one of six Baltimore homers on the night. Basallo has three multi-hit performances in the last eight games as he puts his early-season struggles behind him, batting .360 (9-for-25) over that stretch with two homers, four RBI and more walks (four) than strikeouts (three).

Timely hitting in win
Basallo went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a run scored and two walks in Monday's 7-5 victory over the Royals.
Analisi
Basallo came through in the clutch, tying Monday's contest with an RBI single in the ninth inning off Lucas Erceg before adding another RBI single in the 12th to give the Orioles the lead. It's been a slow start to the season for the catcher, who's slashing .167/.275/.317 through 17 games, though it's worth noting the former top prospect is just 21 years old with only 48 games of big-league experience. Adley Rutschman (ankle) is likely to return from the injured list in the near future, but Basallo should continue to see considerable playing time.

Getting breather Sunday
Basallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analisi
Basallo started eight of the previous nine games but will hit the bench Sunday while in the midst of a 4-for-38 slump (.105 average). Sam Huff will take over behind the plate and bat eighth for the series finale at Cleveland.
