| Brad Brach |
 |
Not his best week, as he allowed 7 hits and 3 earned runs in a little less than 5 innings. Only two walks, though, combined with 6 strikeouts. |
| Zach Britton |
 |
Zach's first blown save of the year wasn't really his fault. He was excellent as the closer in two other games, however. His ERA remains below 1.00 for the season. |
| Wei-Yin Chen |
 |
Two starts - one shaky, one not. He allowed three homers to the Brewers early in the week, but rebounded nicely against Houston. Although he started twice, he only accrued 10 innings for the week. |
| Miguel Gonzalez |
|
Migo has allowed 2 earned runs in his last four starts and now has a streak of three straight QS. The offense, however, failed him and the O's still lost the game despite just 2 earned runs. He'll face a much tougher test against Texas this week. |
| Preston Guilmet |
|
I suppose the good news is that he didn't walk anyone all week, but the bad news is that he allowed 4 earned runs in three innings. |
| Ubaldo Jimenez |
|
Like Gonzalez, Jimenez fell victim to the O's poor offense. Jimenez allowed 1 earned run in 6 innings, yet the offense couldn't provide support. Biggest (only) knock against his start was that he needed 112 pitches to make it through 6 innings (3 walks). |
| Brian Matusz |
|
Not a ton of action - 2.1 innings and although he allowed a homer, it came against a RHB. |
| T.J. McFarland |
|
Remember that time he gave up the game winning hit to the pitcher? Yeah, that happened. |
| Bud Norris |
|
#costafface does not appear to have had his best stuff in either of his last two starts. While it's not terrible, he struck out just 1 hitter this week to combine with 4 ER. |
| Darren O'Day |
|
Blew a save last week, but rebounded nicely. Completed 3 innings (3 appearances) and gave up two hits and two walks. Did not allow a run. |
| Chris Tillman |
|
Got pounded for 6 earned runs by the Milwaukee offense, but mastered the Houston offense to the tune of just 4 hits (1 ER) in 6.2 innings. |
| Ryan Webb |
|
He really should have stayed in after that 7 pitch inning.... |
| Catchers |
|
|
| Steve Clevenger |
|
Returned to Norfolk after 1 PH appearance this week. |
| Nick Hundley |
|
Staved off the down arrow this week thanks to that GWH in his first game as an Oriole. |
| Caleb Joseph |
|
Not entirely sure why the Orioles decided to keep Joseph over Clevenger. |
| Infielders |
|
|
| Chris Davis |
|
A week after really pounding the ball, Davis fell off with a two hit performance. |
| Ryan Flaherty |
|
Received just 3 ABs |
| J.J. Hardy |
|
He's hitting the ball really well (10-27), but what's happened to his power? He's slugging less than Markakis and that's not good. On a positive note, his defense has been great and his OBP is currently above his career average. |
| Manny Machado |
|
His bat has been lagging so far this season, but a thumbs up for his first career grand slam. |
| Steve Pearce |
|
While his overall numbers weren't good, he provided a few timely hits, including the O's first PH homer in a long time. |
| Jonathan Schoop |
|
Pretty good week at the plate including two homers and a three hit game yesterday. |
| Outfielders |
|
|
| Nelson Cruz |
|
It's just a bruise, right? |
| Adam Jones |
|
Had his OBP back over .300 for a just a moment before a poor week has him back at .299 for the year. |
| David Lough |
|
He has more homers than J.J. Hardy... |
| Nick Markakis |
|
In typical Markakis fashion, he added 10 hits (.345 BA), yet his SLG% actually dropped a point. Still trying to get above that .400 mark. On the plus side, his OBP sits at .354, which is pretty solid for your leadoff guy. |
| Delmon Young |
|
Limited playing time, but he might get a start this week if Cruz has to miss any time. |
| Disabled List |
|
|
| Tommy Hunter |
 |
Had a successful bullpen session and might be ready for a rehab assignment soon. |
| Nolan Reimold |
|
No updates. |
| Matt Wieters |
|
A pretty big decision looms. Will we see Matt again this season? |
