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.
Analyse
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.

In leadoff spot for opener
Ward will start in left field and bat leadoff in Thursday's opener against the Twins.
Analyse
Jackson Holliday (hand) is likely to bat leadoff when he returns to action, but it will be Ward at the top of the batting order on Opening Day as the Twins send righty Joe Ryan to the hill. Ward sported a .425 on-base percentage for the Orioles during spring training, logging more walks (eight) than strikeouts (seven).
