Opening Day Thriller as Ripken Debuts at Third and Leads Orioles Win
A weather-delayed opener sees Baltimore break a 2-2 tie in the sixth on an Anderson infield hit and a two-out double by Eric Davis. Ripken plays third in an opener since 1982, doubles twice, homers, walks, and signs a new $15.1 million contract through 1999. Royals rally but Key dominates as Baltimore wins 4-2. Rosado vs Erickson pitched well for both sides.
