BALTIMORE -- It took no time at all for Cedric Mullins -- who at veteran Adam Jones' behest led the team out from the dugout -- to fit in on Friday night at Camden Yards. The rookie doubled in a run in his first big league at-bat and came around to score on Jones' two-run single.
The 23-year-old Mullins showcased his speed in center field, his smile in the dugout as he high-fived new teammates and his energy as he gave a last-place Baltimore club -- and its fans -- a jolt of good in what has been a season filled with frustration.
