A QB change for the Colts: Indianapolis is benching former first-round pick Anthony Richardson and turning to veteran Joe Flacco, sources tell @FowlerESPN and me. Coaches met this morning and made the seismic organizational decision to change QBs.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of former third baseman and longtime minor league manager Ryan Minor, who courageously fought cancer.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ryan’s family and friends at this time.
"Westy's still looking for his first home run, speaking of home runs. It's just a matter of time."
Very next pitch: Jordan Westburg hits his first career home run
10% of the MLB Season already gone. AL East doesn't have a team with a losing record or negative run differential.
Orioles have a soft stretch ahead and they must take advantage with this bunch of teams in the East.
Felix Bautista bent, so did the defense big time, but he didn't break. Gets a save as O's hold off Boston 10-9 in a wild one at Fenway Park. Hard way to get to 1-0 but they did it. Breathe Birdland!
Adley Rutschman is the first player to go 5-5 (or better) with at least 4 RBI on Opening Day.
He's just the 3rd player ever to go 5-5 and get multiple RBI on Opening Day, joining Hall-of-Famers Billy Herman and Babe Ruth.
Adley Rutschman just got one into the wind blowing out to left and got it just out. It was a first-pitch Grand Slam to give the Orioles a 6-4 lead. His second spring HR.
