Big Day with Bat: Mason 5-for-5
Fans at Oriole Park at Camden Yards got to see not only a home-team victory, but also one of the most impressive feats of hitting of the season.

The Baltimore Orioles outplayed the Colorado Rockies en route to a 5-3 win, but the standout was second baseman Dennis Mason. Mason netted 5 hits in 5 at-bats and finished with a dynamite game line.

"Hey, we tried everything we could think of to get him out," Rockies manager Dylan Seck said in postgame comments. "We threw everything but the kitchen sink against him and he hit it. Maybe we should've thrown the sink, too."

Dennis Mason singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 8th.

This year, Mason is hitting .308 with 41 hits, 4 home runs, 17 RBIs and has scored 17 runs.
