Joseph Ward Player Profile
Career History
Joseph Ward: Breaking News
Reaches base three times
Ward went 1-for-3 with a double, one RBI and two walks in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates. The Orioles' leadoff man continues to showcase his on-base skills early on this season, as he's now slashing .333/.424/.444 across 33 plate appearances. Ward is still looking for his first home run with Baltimore, but he's doubled three times with five RBI, two runs scored and a 5:7 BB:K through seven appearances.
Four-hit effort in loss
Ward went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored during Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers. Tuesday marks the first time that Ward has logged four hits in a game, and his impressive display of hitting puts him at a .300 batting average (6-for-20) through the first five games of the season. He's unlikely to continue at that pace after batting just .228 last year, but he should be able to make up for it once he rediscovers his power stroke.
