Some historic homers in Frederick, and Pedro Alvarez is again mashing Triple-A pitching
It took 3,927 games for it to happen once. And then it happened again two days later. Nick Markakis never did it. Matt Wieters never did it. Manny Machado never did it. Even Billy Rowell never did it. (Still too soon?) Last week, outfielder Austin Hays and shortstop Ryan Mountcastle became the...

Gassaway running on all cylinders for Keys; Mountcastle and Akin also leading Frederick
Two more potential riders on the Norfolk-Baltimore Transit Line debuted this week. OK, it’s a stretch to punch their tickets right now. One of the two pitchers isn’t even in Norfolk yet, so he technically can’t get a seat on that shuttle. And neither is likely to come up any time soon....
