Heston Kjerstad went deep, again, his fifth of the season, one of four homers on the night for the Norfolk Tides in a 9-8 win at Charlotte on Thursday.

Kjerstad, the #4 prospect in the deep Baltimore Orioles farm system, was 2-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs in the win, improving his slash line to .571/.5811.214 through six games.

Coby Mayo, the O’s #3 prospect, broke an 8-8 tie in the top of the ninth with a 408-foot homer to left-center, his second homer of the season.

Mayo’s slash line: .367/.387/.700.

Jackson Holliday, the top prospect in all of MLB going into the 2024 season, was 1-for-3 with two walks, to get his slash line to .393/.471/.750.
