Hi Mom! Hedges' HR in front of parents caps memorable night
Cleveland Guardians catcher Austin Hedges, a 34-year-old Orange County native, hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning at Angel Stadium with his parents Pam and Charlie in attendance, helping the Guardians to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The win was Cleveland's fifth consecutive and moved them back to .500 at 66-66, while also securing the final American League Wild Card spot, sitting 2.5 games behind the AL Central-leading White Sox. Hedges, historically known more for his defense, has had a breakout offensive season, batting .270 with a .338 on-base percentage in 199 plate appearances, a significant improvement over his career .185 average entering the year.
