Darren Baker spent much of his childhood around baseball. Sunday was the first time he woke up knowing he was a major leaguer.

The second baseman, the son of two-time All-Star and longtime manager Dusty Baker, was one of the Washington Nationals' roster additions when he had his contract selected from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

"I didn't need an alarm today," said Darren Baker, who learned of his call up Saturday.
