Rickard homers twice in 1st game after recall

BALTIMORE -- Outfielder Joey Rickard, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Sunday's series finale against the Rays, wasted no time making his mark on the Orioles, slugging his first two homers of the season in his first three at-bats.

Rickard's first homer was a deep fly out to right-center field, part of back-to-back shots with Danny Valencia in the second inning. Trey Mancini later added a third homer off Rays starter Blake Snell in the inning.
