That didn’t take long.

Looked like an error to me.
Vladimir Guerrero swung at the next pitch and flied to deep right-center field. Inning over.
The adventure might continue.

Lugo has played 11 games in left field, but he’s made only two starts. He shags fly balls out there during batting practice, but it’s a little different once the game begins.
Update: Lugo is 2-for-2 with a double – the only hits off C.J. Wilson – but the Orioles trail, 1-0, on Mitch Moreland’s home run in the second inning.
Joel Guzman hit his 28th home run tonight for Double-A Bowie.
