Grayson Rodriguez made his debut in home state

After Rodriguez failed to make the Opening Day roster, it was uncertain when he would make his Orioles debut. But he just had to wait another week, and where better to make his debut than in Texas, his home state. He attended secondary school in Texas' Nacogdoches.
