Jackson Holliday's wife, Chloe, took to her Instagram account to post a story celebrating the Orioles star's first career four-hit game in the big leagues. In a 12-10 loss against the Red Sox in Game 2 of a four-game AL East regular season series, Holliday registered four hits in five at-bats and scored three runs.
Chloe celebrated the four-hit night by the Orioles rookie in his debut MLB season by sharing some motivational words rooted in faith on her Instagram story. Take a look at the snapshot here:
Chloe is Jackson Holliday's biggest fan and cheers for him during all of the Birds' home games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Holliday had a terrible first stint with Baltimore in April when he slumped to a 0.059 average and struck out 18 times in 34 at-bats. As a result, just after 10 games, he was demoted back to the minor leagues to play with the Norfolk Tides.
Chloe supported the MLB's top prospect through his quest in the minor leagues, as he made concerted efforts to earn a promotion to the 40-man roster yet again. His grueling efforts at the plate paid off, and he was promoted to play in the big leagues on July 31.
In his first game back with the Orioles on July 31, he crushed a grand slam in the series finale against the Blue Jays to help Baltimore win the tie 10-4 and, with that, the AL East series as well. He is now batting with an average of .200, with five home runs, 15 RBIs and a .650 OPS.
Jackson Holliday talked about how his wife, Chloe, helped him improve his swing
In an exclusive interview on "Foul Territory," Jackson Holliday answered many questions from the show's hosts about his still-nascent experiences in the big leagues. He hilariously shed light on how his wife, Chloe, helped him improve the swing. He said:
"Chloe usually watches me train, trying to figure everything out. She once told me it (my swing) looked a bit different. She's the best. Just having her watch me practice helped me know I need to sort out my swing."
Holliday has started the second stint of his big league career with a bang. He flourished in the minor leagues and brought those positives to the MLB.
So far, everything has been going according to plan, and the Orioles will hope that their rookie ace can continue this positive momentum at the plate for the remainder of the season.
