It was a beautiful afternoon at Camden Yards and — though they weren’t visible in the bright daylight — the planets obviously were aligned just right for the Orioles in a very dramatic and satisfying Opening Day victory over the Minnesota Twins.
They just weren’t aligned in the order anyone could have expected.
This was very much a microcosm of the 2017 season in reverse. The O’s got a terrific seven-inning performance from Dylan Bundy, who now appears to have a lot of backup in the club’s new-look starting rotation.
