BALTIMORE - Orioles' top prospect Jackson Holliday is making a quick impact for the Aberdeen IronBirds, the Orioles' Advanced-A Affiliate.

He has come out swinging since his promotion to Aberdeen on April 24.

The son of six-time MLB All-Star Matt Holliday drove in six runs in a rain-shorted, five-inning game against Winston-Salem on Tuesday.

Holliday hit a two-run home run in the first inning, then followed with a triple and a double.

MLB's No. 3 prospect has three home runs, two triples, three doubles, and 12 RBIs with a .345 batting average in 17 games since joining Aberdeen.

Between Delmarva and Aberdeen, Holliday is batting .367 this season with five home runs and 27 RBIs.
