In a jaw-dropping display that can only be described as a slugger’s arms gone rogue, the Royals and Orioles turned Camden Yards into a home run haunted house. The Royals smashed a franchise record by launching seven homers, as if they mistook the outfield for a giant piñata filled with baseballs, while Baltimore’s Orioles were no less wild with four blasts of their own. The game resembled a fireworks show sponsored by steroids and blind optimism, with a total of 11 homers flying out like confetti at a New Year’s party nobody wanted to end.

The Orioles’ second baseman, Jackson Holliday, decided that two solo shots weren’t enough and basically declared it his personal batting practice. Meanwhile, Royals’ pitcher Michael Lorenzen must have thought he was playing dodgeball instead of baseball, giving up four home runs before being shown the door. The combined total of ten solo home runs tied an MLB record, proving that if baseball was about hitting the ball as far as possible, these teams were definitely the reigning heavyweights.

In the end, the Royals held on for an 11-6 victory, but everyone lost track of the score amid the home run mayhem, the multiple lead changes, and what can only be described as a slugfest straight out of a comic book. Baseball purists might be shaking their heads, but for anyone who loves seeing balls fly into the stratosphere, Sunday was a homerun bonanza for the ages.
