The Baltimore Orioles Shortstop Gunnar Henderson is once again considered on of the best hitters in the game as the season comes to a close.

Gunnar Henderson homered and doubled to help the Baltimore Orioles beat the Detroit Tigers 4-2. Henderson drove in two runs and scored twice to help the Orioles move within two games of the AL East-leading Yankees.

For a moment, all was forgotten. It didn’t matter that the Orioles had recently lost nine of their past 12 games as the postseason approached, or that their closer had blown a save or that their center fielder had just been shaken up after a scary collision.
