Orioles ride four-game sweep into All-Star break as draft buzz grows
The Orioles swept the Kansas City Royals to push their win streak to four heading into the All-Star break, with Gunnar Henderson collecting three hits and Samuel Basallo and Leody Taveras homering, but Blaze Alexander broke his left hand on a hit-by-pitch and may miss time (no surgery needed); off the field, Baltimore used its draft capital, selecting Eric Booth with the first pick, while two prospects (Ike Irish, Joseph Dzierwa) played in the Futures Game.
