JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Minor League Baseball is back.
Tuesday, the Norfolk Tides played their first game in 610 days. After last year's minor league baseball season was canceled due to COVID-19, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles played its first game since September 2019.
The Tides fell into a 7-0 hole after two innings and lost to the Jumbo Shrimp, 11-5.
Tyler Nevin led the way for Norfolk, recording two hits including a two-run home run in the 9th inning. Starting pitcher Conner Greene allowed six earned runs in 1.2 innings pitched.
The same two teams play Wednesday afternoon in Jacksonville.
