Orioles' Eloy Jimenez: Hits First Homer With New Team

Jimenez, traded from the White Sox to the Orioles in January, hit his first home run with his new team on Opening Day.

The two-run shot came in the fourth inning off Texas Rangers starter Jon Gray. It gave the Orioles a 3-0 lead at the time.

Jimenez was acquired by the Orioles in a trade that sent infielder Jake Lamb and a draft pick to the White Sox. He is expected to be a key part of the Orioles' offense this season.

Jimenez's first homer with the Orioles was a solo shot off Rangers starter Jon Gray in the fourth inning of the Orioles' 5-3 Opening Day win.

The homer was Jimenez's first hit as an Oriole. He finished the game 1-for-4 with two RBIs.
