Orioles catcher James McCann shrugs off fastball to face, stays in game after being bloodied
BALTIMORE (AP) — James McCann had just been struck in the face with a fastball, and as the blood gushed from his nose and mouth, there was one overriding thought racing through his mind. “I take pride in staying tough, doing what I can to stay on the field,” he said later Monday. “That’s what I was able to do today.” The pitch was thrown by Blue Jays rookie Yariel Rodríguez, who was struggling with his control before unleashing a first-inning pitch with the bases loaded that hit McCann square in the face.

Helping keep the heat on in rural Maryland
Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) has kept the lights on in the Baltimore region since 1816. But much has changed since the nation's first gas utility began powering Maryland homes.
