Key Points:
- Orioles manager Craig Albernaz sustained seven fractures in his orbital area and a broken jaw after being hit by a foul ball during a game against the Diamondbacks.
- Despite the injuries, Albernaz returned to Camden Yards less than 24 hours later and remained in the dugout for the second game of the series, emphasizing his commitment to the team.
- Albernaz will not require surgery or jaw wiring but will be restricted to eating baby food for the next six weeks to accommodate his injuries.
- The foul ball incident occurred in the fifth inning while Jeremiah Jackson was at bat; Jackson later contributed significantly to the Orioles' 9-7 win with two home runs, including a grand slam.
