The Camden Yards crowd greeted Dylan Beavers with a standing ovation for his first career at-bat in front of his new home fans, and the Orioles’ rookie outfielder rose to the moment. Beavers launched a 390-foot solo home run onto the flag court in right field and drove in both of the Orioles’ runs Thursday in their 7-2 loss to the Houston Astros.

The time has come at last. Dylan Beavers, the Orioles’ top outfield prospect, has been promoted to the majors. The O’s announced this morning that they’ve purchased his contract from Triple-A Norfolk and he’ll join the team in Houston, where he’ll presumably be in the lineup tonight for his major league debut.
