Tyler O’Neill came off the bench to hit solo homers in both of his at-bats Wednesday against the Cubs.

O’Neill homered off Drew Pomeranz in the seventh and Caleb Thielbar in the eighth. The latter was the second of back-to-back homers with Coby Mayo. O’Neill had just three homers in 164 plate appearances this season prior to tonight. He’d been playing mostly against lefties, even though his scant production this year had come versus righties. Both homers tonight were off southpaws, though. He should be in the lineup with the Orioles throwing a lefty in David Peterson on Thursday.
