0:00It's April 4th. Welcome in. This is MLB News Today, where the game meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Blaze Alexander, the 26-year-old utility star for the Orioles, flashed serious athleticism in their FARC to 4 loss to the Pirates at PNC. Park. Playing third base, he versatile enough for any infield or outfield spot. He pulled off a game-changing dive on a sharp grounder down the left field, line. In the bottom of the sixth, Alexander stretched out, snagged the ball deep in foul territory, popped up and fired in, 83.5 mph strike to first base. The runner was called safe at first, but replay flipped it to an out, roving what looked like an easy double. Manager Craig Albernass called it ridiculous athleticism, highlighting how Alexander shines wherever you plug him in. With just 56 starts at third over three big league seasons, he keeps his cool focusing on control over Rush, even while running the wrong way. Meanwhile, Alexander's crushing at the

1:02plate 2, going 6 for 15 for a 400 average in 5 games, with a hit every time out. He's the first Oriole to start with a 5 game hitting streak since Cedric Mullins back in 2021. The birds sit at three and four early, no back-to-back wins yet, but Alexander's hyped on the line up clicking soon. Expect the squad to turn heads as the offense finds its groove.
