The Tides picked up three runs in the first inning and never trailed in the game on the way to a win. Shortstop Luis Sardinas had a three-hit game, driving in two of the five Norfolk runs. He also committed an error that led to a pair of unearned runs. Oops.
New O’s minor leaguer Breyvic Valera played second base and was 0-4 with a walk. DJ Stewart was on base twice, scoring runs after both getting a hit and a walk. Cedric Mullins also was 1-4 with a walk. The O’s need to figure out a way to trade Adam Jones so they can get some MLB playing time for this guy.
