DENVER, Colo. – Millbury native Ryan Ward made his long-awaited MLB debut at Coors Field on Sunday as a member of the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
Ward spent the last seven years in the Los Angeles minor league system.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old played first base, going 2 for 5 with an RBI.<\/p>\n
His family was at home when they first got the news but got to see him play in person for his first big league game.<\/p>\n
“My wife was jumping up and down,” Ward’s father said. “I was more numb, like, ‘Oh my God, this is really happening.'”<\/p>\n
“Mom, were there tears?”<\/p>\n
“Yes,” Ward’s mother said, “yes, of course.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DENVER, Colo. – Millbury native Ryan Ward made his long-awaited MLB debut at Coors Field on Sunday as…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":741800,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[41],"tags":[7448,305903,1266,50,62,67,132,68,903],"class_list":["post-741799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-app-top-stories","tag-dan-reidy","tag-mlb","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-worcester"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116439610039866511","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741799\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/741800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
