When Manny Machado was pulled after the fourth inning against the Texas Rangers on July 15, it was the last time he wore an Orioles jersey at Camden Yards.
Since then, he’s played in the World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers and signed a 10-year, $300 million contract with the San Diego Padres, but this is the first time he’s returning to Camden Yards. He’s back, but he’s wearing Padres blue instead of black and orange.
The Orioles held a news conference for Machado, filled with the faces of reporters he greeted by name.
