St. Paul's Grad Gets First Orioles Career Win

It was a dream start for Steve Johnson. 

The Orioles rookie, called up from AAA for his first major league start, struck out nine batters en route to a 9-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners Wednesday night. 

Watch the video, from MLB.com.

Johnson graduated from St. Paul's in 2005 where he was named Player of the Year as a senior by the Baltimore Sun.

Since then, Johnson has come a long way from the pitching mounds in Brooklandville to the stadiums in Bowie and Norfolk onto an ESPN highlight reel.
