All winter long, Chance Sisco and the Orioles at large anticipated a day like Saturday, when they could strap up and begin the process of leaving 2018 behind. Sisco got on with the getting-on quickly.
Sisco, the one-time top prospect who had a disappointing 2018 not unlike the team as a whole, homered on his first swing of the Grapefruit League campaign to stake the Orioles to the early lead they rode to a 7-2 win over the Minnesota Twins at Ed Smith Stadium on Saturday.
It might be early in the catcher competition for the swing to mean much, but Sisco said everything about the day felt good.
