BALTIMORE (AP) — Jackson Holliday delivered his first big league hit in the seventh inning, then scored the tiebreaking run to help the Baltimore Orioles avoid a sweep with a 6-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.
“Pretty relieved,” said Holliday, baseball's top-ranked prospect. “It's very nice to finally get it out of the way and just kind of enjoy playing baseball now versus trying to fight for a hit.”
Holliday struck out in his first two at-bats and was 0 for 13 with nine Ks since his call-up before he came up with the Orioles down 4-3 in the seventh. With a man on first and no outs, Holliday pulled a 99 mph offering from reliever Abner Uribe (1-1) into right field for a single.
“Someone made a joke that he just had to face someone with 100 I guess,” teammate Colton Cowser said.
