Overview

  • The former Orioles veterans meet their old club in San Diego one month after being dealt to the Padres for a six-prospect return.
  • Since the trade, O’Hearn is batting .259 with a .751 OPS and three home runs in 26 games, while Laureano is at .305 with a .935 OPS and seven homers in 28 games.
  • O’Hearn said he misses his Baltimore teammates but welcomed the pennant-race environment in San Diego and credited arriving with Laureano for easing the transition.
  • San Diego entered Monday two games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and holding the league’s second wild-card spot.
  • The Orioles traded nine players for 16 prospects after a poor start and heavy injuries, with interim manager Tony Mansolino praising both ex-O’s and saying O’Hearn still feels like an Oriole in many ways.
