Orioles first baseman Pedro Alvarez made his return to the Pirates’ McKechnie Field — the only spring training home he had ever known until this month — and made it memorable for everyone except his former team.

“I’m very sensitive to, like, when he first got to us, I would never ask him about playing against the Pirates or whatever,” Showalter said.
