Alexei Ramirez singled and belted a two-run homer in Thursday's win over the Orioles. Ramirez to this point has left his bat at home at the All-Star break, entering the night with a .217/.305/.325 batting line. Hopefully this gets him going in the right direction. He'll go into the weekend series against the Royals with a .265/.328/.405 batting line.
