Just when you might have thought Gleyber Torres was about to regain the form he had in 2018 and 2019, the second baseman has started to look like the version of himself from the past two seasons.
After going hitless for a fourth straight game in Sunday’s 5-0 loss to the Orioles at Camden Yards, Torres is 0-for-13 with two walks and four strikeouts since he homered for the first time this season on Wednesday.
Sunday’s effort included a fourth-inning bunt after DJ LeMahieu led off with a single.
It went for a sacrifice, but Torres was trying to get a hit, with Baltimore shifted to the left side and only the pitcher, Bruce Zimmermann, and first baseman Ryan Mountcastle on the right side of the infield.
But Torres didn’t get enough on the bunt and Zimmermann fielded it easily.
Aaron Boone approved of the idea, if not the way it played out.
