Maryland Gov. Wes Moore a 'guest splasher' during Orioles' Sunday night game
BALTIMORE - Maryland Gov. Wes Moore was a guest splasher during Sunday night's Orioles game against the New York Yankees at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
The last time the Orioles hosted a nationally-televised Sunday night baseball game in Baltimore was in 2018, also against the Yankees.
That’s Governor Splash to you.

This time, the Orioles (64-41) own the American League's best record following their 9-3 win. The Yankees (55-50) are in last place in the AL East.
What better way to celebrate Baltimore’s birthday than with another @Orioles blowout!

The entire world got to watch the celebratory ways when an Orioles player hits a home run and an extra-base hit, including the Bird Bath Splash Zone in Section 86 of Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Gov. Moore and his child were back there spraying the hose into the crowd.
The governor tossed out the first pitch of the Orioles' home opener against the Yankees on April 7.
