Topps Now: September 9 and 11, 2024 and a Wong 1/1

And another Topps Now post, this one featuring Tyler O'Neill primarily, a candidate for a One-Year Wonder post in the near future.

On September 9, the Red Sox crushed the Orioles 12-3.  Brayan Bello didn't have his best stuff but pitched well enough to win and the Red Sox benefitted from outfielders Rob Refnsyder and Tyler O'Neill hitting back-to-back home runs TWICE.  Refsnyder has become a certified lefty-killer and an important voice in the clubhouse.  O'Neill came over from the Cardinals in a trade prior to the season to provide right-handed pop, and he absolutely delivered.

On September 11, Tyler O'Neill haunted the Orioles again (his future team, who he is haunting now in a very different way).  The Orioles had a one-run lead going into the bottom of the tenth with Keegan Aiken pitching.  Aiken struck out Rafael Devers, but then Romy Gonzalez reached on an error and O'Neill crushed a home run over the Monster to win the game.
