While the big league Baltimore Orioles have brought about a mix of positive and frustrating emotions, the Baby Birds kicked off their seasons down on the farm on Thursday night, with Orioles’ minor league affiliates going 1-3 on Opening Night.
Jomar Reyes notched three hits for the Frederick Keys and future first baseman of the Baltimore Orioles, Ryan Mountcastle, recorded an RBI-single and drew a walk for the Norfolk Tides, despite both teams falling short of victory.
The lone affiliate to secure a win on Thursday night was the Delmarva Shorebirds. After watching Mike Wright implode, I needed some positive baseball to watch.
