Mullins Shines in Center Field, But Orioles Fall to Toronto

Cedric Mullins delivered a memorable performance in center field at Camden Yards, in what could have been his last home game with the Orioles. Mullins made a spectacular catch, jumping over the fence to rob Ali Sánchez of a home run in the sixth inning of Wednesday’s game. Despite the outstanding defensive play, the Orioles ended up losing to the Toronto Blue Jays with a score of 9-8.

It’s just a matter of timing. Understanding where the fence is, understanding how you have to measure it and time it.

Mullins, who had an outstanding performance on the field during this home series, batted 9-for-20, including a single and a double on Wednesday. However, in his last at-bat, he struck out with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh inning, and the Orioles failed to score the tying run. The deadline for changes is Thursday, a day off for the Orioles. Mullins, in his eighth season in the Major Leagues, all with the Orioles, could be one of the players who could be transferred.

I think everyone in this clubhouse will breathe a sigh of relief when this is over, no matter what happens.

In Sánchez’s play, Mullins jumped, used his left hand to push himself over the fence and catch the ball in his glove, all in one motion.

I wish he would stop doing that. That was really impressive, and he made it look easy.
