On this date in 2008, Jones played in his first game with the Orioles in a 6-2 opening day loss to the Rays. He batted eight and started in center field.

Jones is one of 17 active players to play in 11 or more seasons with their current team.

According to STATS, the Orioles’ eight consecutive opening day wins are the most in club history and tied for sixth all-time with the Boston Braves (1906-1913).

The Orioles have released outfielder Josh Hart, the 37th overall pick in the 2013 draft out of Parkview (Ga.) High School. Hart never made it above Single-A Frederick and batted .243/.292/.314 in 366 games.
