Who's hot and who's not for the Baltimore Orioles:
| Rotation | |
|
|
|
Zach Britton |
Not even going to talk about it. |
|
|
Wei-Yin Chen | Shutout! Well-pitched 7 innings included just 5 hits and a walk. |
|
|
Miguel Gonzalez |
Tossed up a bunch of homers, but just 4 runs overall. Took the hill for his second start of the week and tossed a 2 hit shutout over 7 innings. Issuing too many walks, but minimizing the damage. |
|
|
Tommy Hunter |
Only 2 runs allowed, but it wouldn't be a Tommy Hunter start without home runs allowed. |
|
|
Chris Tillman |
The four ER allowed against the Yankees (in a game the O's eventually won) mark his worst ER total for the year. |
| Bullpen | ||
|
|
Luis Ayala | Overall, it was an okay week for Ayala. Did pick up the win in yesterday's game after an inning of scoreless relief. |
|
|
Kevin Gregg | Two words: grand. slam. |
|
|
Jim Johnson | After some post-ASG struggles, JJ appears to have regained his form. |
|
|
Matt Lindstrom | Returned from his "day-to-day" status and pitched just fine. |
|
|
Darren O'Day | Pitched slightly over 3 innings and did not allow a hit or walk. Struck out three batters. |
|
|
Troy Patton | Nothing major to note, but he did lower his ERA again. |
|
|
Pedro Strop | Stropping at nothing. |
|
Lineup |
||
|
|
Robert Andino | Returned from the DL into a likely platoon with Betemit at 3B. |
|
|
Wilson Betemit | Actually had a very solid week at the plate, going 8 for 16 with 2 doubles, a homer, and a walk. |
|
|
Endy Chavez | Not on the team anymore. That's good news. |
|
|
Chris Davis | A solid 6 for 22 this week with a homer, 2 walks, and 6 RBI. Lots of strikeouts, but did have a hit in each game he played. |
|
|
Ryan Flaherty | Remains stapled to the bench, not that its a bad thing. |
|
|
Lew Ford | Lew can't really hit....but cheer up - both of his hits were doubles! Doubles MACHINE. |
|
|
J.J. Hardy | Two straight weeks with positive batting stats, which is a huge positive considering how bad his have looked all season. |
|
|
Adam Jones | Did go 8 for 25 at the plate, but only 2 extra base hits. |
|
|
Nick Markakis | Has been on a roll since coming off the DL. This past week, Markakis went 9 for 27 at the plate with a double, a homer, 5 RBI, and 2 walks. |
|
|
Nate McLouth | Welcome to Baltimore. |
|
|
Omar Quintanilla | After a very solid week, he followed up with a 3 for 20 week. Did have 3 walks, however. |
|
|
Mark Reynolds | Another rough week at 4 for 20. However, he walked 4 times and 3 of his 4 hits were doubles. |
|
|
Taylor Teagarden | Went 1 for 5, but that one hit was clutch! |
|
|
Matt Wieters | A .304 average for the week marks one of his better over that past month-ish. Only 1 extra base hit, but at least he had a few hits overall. |
