The Baltimore Orioles are now fully owned by Baltimore native David Rubenstein and his investment group.
Rubenstein’s group on Thursday closed on the remainder of the organization from the previous owner, the Angelos family.
“I thank John Angelos and his family for their leadership and ownership of the team over the last 30 years,” Rubenstein said on social media. “John led a dramatic overhaul of the team’s management, roster, recruitment strategy, and farm.
our guys credit for coming back for the split by winning the last two,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “They’re a tough team to play and this is a tough place to play. It was a good day for us offensively.”
Eloy Jiménez had three hits and Colton Cowser extended his hitting streak to 17 games, tying the Orioles’ rookie record set by Trey Mancini in 2017. Baltimore entered the day tied with the New York Yankees atop the AL East.
The Orioles banged out 15 hits for the second straight game after going four weeks without reaching that number. Henderson and Cowser scored three times apiece.
“It’s just a matter of time until we all start clicking again,” said Henderson, who homered for the first time since July 14. “To be able to go on out there and tack on more runs and help the bullpen today, it was huge.”
