Ryan Mountcastle stepped to the plate for his first at-bat Saturday mired in his longest home run drought of the season: 17 games dating to May 10. The Orioles' first baseman has caught fire since a slow start to the month of May, hitting .472 (17-for-36) over his past 10 games. Anthony Santander, on his bobblehead day, hit the Orioles' first Eutaw Street home run of the season and Jordan Westburg returned from a two-game absence because of a hand/wrist injury and hit a 414-foot homer of his own. Baltimore needed the offense early with starter Kyle Bradish lasting only 2 2/3 innings.
