BALTIMORE—The Los Angeles Angels ran into a buzz saw named Corbin Burnes in a Major League Baseball season-opener Thursday, March 28, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Burnes’ debut in Baltimore was everything his new team could have wanted. The Orioles’ new ace was excellent—and their offense showed why they are the reigning American League East division champions.
