In the leadup to the Los Angeles Angels’ visit to Camden Yards this week, former teammates were asking Jahmai Jones if he thought he’d be called up to the majors to face them. After coming up through the Angels organization and spending all of this season at Triple-A Norfolk polishing his defense at second base, Jones found out Monday that he would be part of this series.
The 24-year-old, acquired in February in the Orioles’ trade of right-hander Alex Cobb, is batting eighth and starting at second base in his debut with the club Tuesday night as it tries to end an 18-game losing streak.
