Andrés Chaparro hits 3 doubles in MLB debut, James Wood adds 4 hits as Nationals rout Orioles 9-3
BALTIMORE (AP) — Andrés Chaparro doubled three times in his big league debut, almost overshadowing another four-hit game by rookie James Wood as the Washington Nationals beat the Baltimore Orioles 9-3 on Tuesday night. Chaparro became the fourth player in major league history with at least three doubles in his debut — the first since Nick Evans of the New York Mets hit three at Colorado on May 24, 2008. “I’m not going to lie and say I’ve never dreamt of this day and how it would go,” Chaparro said through a translator. “As well as it went today, I couldn’t have dreamt it better.” The Nationals called up Chaparro before the game, and with the score tied at 2 in the fourth inning he came through with his first career hit, a double that left runners on second and third with nobody out. Ildemaro Vargas and Luís Garcia Jr. followed with sacrifice flies.
