The Orioles have been waiting a long time to take the wraps off of Dylan Bundy.
He was always projected as a starting pitcher – and perhaps a legitimate ace – but everyone knows the hurdles he had to clear to get into the rotation last July and to arrive at spring training this year as the presumptive No. 3 starter.
When he took the mound against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday at Ed Smith Stadium, it was his first exhibition start since 2013.
Bundy got off to a bit of a rocky start, allowing a two-run home run to Andrew Benintendi in the first inning.
