Orioles head groundskeeper Nicole Sherry leaving after 20 years

By The Associated Press

BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles head groundskeeper Nicole Sherry is leaving after 20 years at Camden Yards, the team confirmed on Monday.

When she took the job in Baltimore, Sherry became the second female head groundskeeper for a major league team.

Since assuming the role, Sherry kept the field at Camden Yards in pristine condition. On Monday night, she held the hose for her crew as they watered down the infield.

Sherry will help groom the mound for the last time Tuesday night before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch prior to Baltimore’s game against the New York Yankees.

On Wednesday, Sherry joins the Maryland Department of Agriculture as assistant secretary of Plant Industries and Pest Management.

Yankees lefty Max Fried pulled from his start at Baltimore after only 3 innings with a sore elbow

By The Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) — Max Fried's performance was shaky again — and now the New York Yankees have to worry about his elbow. Fried was pulled from Wednesday's 7-0 loss at Baltimore after only three innings because of elbow soreness. The three-time All-Star is expected to get scanned and be examined Thursday by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad in New York. “Just a little uncomfortable, tight, especially in between innings,” Fried said. “It's hard for me to kind of warm up, loosen up. The first hitter of the inning would be like 88, 90, 91. And by the end — fourth, fifth hitter, 20 pitches in — I'm able to kind of get things loosened up.” Fried headed straight up the tunnel after Baltimore scored twice in the third inning, and the Yankees had Paul Blackburn warming in the bullpen while batting in the fourth. Fried allowed three runs and five hits, throwing just 34 of 61 pitches for strikes and going to three balls on five of 13 batters.
