Today, we celebrate America. Since Independence Day is all about fireworks, how about the fireworks that Nick Markakis has been putting on for the past few weeks? Ever since an 0-for-4 performance on June 7, the rightfielder has hit safely in 21 of 22 games, including a career best 5-for-5 outing in yesterday's win over the Braves. He's batted .436 (44-for-101) with 7 doubles, 3 home runs, and 14 RBI to boost his season average to .296 entering tonight's game. While he's still not producing walks and extra-base hits at his career rate, he's given O's fans a reason to exhale after his struggles in the early part of the season.
He's been on a roll
