Jesse Winker couldn’t have picked a better moment to hit his first home run in the orange and blue than on Wednesday.
The outfielder launched a walk-off solo shot into the left field stands, and in a moment of pure jubilation, stopped before reaching first base, pumped his fist and launched his helmet and elbow guard before enjoying the trip around the bases in the 4-3 win over the Orioles .
“That was crazy. I blacked out, 100 percent. I still can’t believe that. That’s unreal,” Winker told SNY’s Steve Gelbs on the field after the homer.
