Heston Kjerstad hit a two-run homer to power the Orioles past the Twins 3-2 on Saturday.

Kjerstad’s homer off Connor Prielipp was his second of the spring, and he’s sporting a .318/.348/.636 line in 23 plate appearances. He’s trying to overtake Leody Taveras or Dylan Beavers for a spot on Baltimore’s roster, but that seems like a lot to ask for after a 2025 season in which he hit .192/.240/.327 in 167 plate appearances in the majors and even worse than that in 27 minor league games. He probably needs to go back and excel in Triple-A for a spell.
