Swats second homer in loss
Henderson went 3-for-5 with a double, solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.
Analysis
Henderson entered play Friday with just four hits on the season, so this was a breakthrough performance for the 24-year-old shortstop. Henderson doubled home Blaze Alexander in the fifth inning before taking Gregory Soto deep for a solo homer in the ninth. Through seven contests, Henderson is slashing .233/.303/.500 with two home runs, six RBI, four runs scored and one stolen base across 33 plate appearances.

Accounts for both O's runs
Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI during Monday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Analysis
Henderson clubbed his first home run of the season in the opening inning, sending a Jack Leiter pitch out of the yard to tie the game at one. Later, he tacked on an RBI single, but it wouldn't be enough for the Orioles to get the win. Even with Monday's success, it's still been a tough opening week for the 24-year-old as he's just 3-for-16 (.188 batting average) with seven strikeouts.
