Taylor Ward Exceeds Expectations as Key Contributor for Orioles

Outfielder Taylor Ward has significantly out-performed expectations, becoming an invaluable part of the Orioles' high-scoring attack. Ward is starting in left field and batting third in Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks. Compared to successful past acquisitions for his immediate impact, Ward's consistent production has helped Baltimore maintain its offensive momentum. His role as a primary contributor remains a central storyline for the club throughout the April campaign.
