Watch: Mancini homers, adds to MLB RBI lead

Trey Mancini got after it early on Wednesday as the current MLB leader in RBI added to his total in his first at-bat of the matinee affair in Minnesota.

Batting with two outs and nobody on in the top of the first inning, Mancini launched an 0-2 pitch into the left-field stands at Target Field to give the Orioles an early 1-0 lead over the Twins.

That gives Mancini 42 RBI on the season, 25 of which have come in May while the home run was his 11th of the 2021 campaign.

Mancini has been one of the few bright spots for the Orioles who entered Wednesday’s contest just 17-31 on the season.
