Pitchers |
|
|
Brad Brach |
 |
Recorded his 7th hold of the year and hasn't allowed an earned run in over a month.
|
Zach Britton |
 |
Notched save 25 on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Trails only Glen Perkins of the Minnesota Twins in saves (29) among AL pitchers.
|
Wei-Yin Chen |
 |
Strong through his first five innings before allowing back-to-back homers. Still, the two solo homers were his lone runs allowed and he qualified for his fifth win of the year. Walked one and struck out six.
|
Kevin Gausman |
 |
Settled down after an ugly first, but the three runs did him in and dropped him to 1-2 on the year. The foul pole homer might have been a bit lucky, though, and he'll get the chance to turn things around against Atlanta tonight.
|
Miguel Gonzalez |
 |
Posted his second straight start with two or fewer earned runs allowed. Went 7+ on Saturday against Tampa and allowed just a solo home run for his ninth win of the season.
|
Tommy Hunter |
 |
Actually pretty sharp over three innings this week. The three walks were dangerous, but allowed just one hit and struck out four (also got his 6th hold).
|
Ubaldo Jimenez |
 |
That was just ugly. We're not going to talk about it.
|
Brian Matusz |
 |
Just one inning this week (scoreless). Matusz has appeared in just five innings throughout the entire month of July.
|
Bud Norris |
 |
It would be just great if anybody outside of the Orioles would like to take flyer on him as a "change of scenery" guy....
|
Darren O'Day |
 |
Picked up his third blown save and first loss of the year on Friday in a rare poor outing.
|
Chaz Roe |
 |
Another scoreless 2.1 innings has him at a fairly impressive 2.31/2.60 ERA/FIP for the year. Not bad for a guy who had pitched just 24 MLB innings over the past two seasons (he's at 31.1 so far this year).
|
Chris Tillman |
 |
Somehow ended up with a no-decision after going another 7 innings with just 2 hits allowed. Did walk three which isn't so great, but Tillman has looked really sharp of late. |
Catchers |
|
|
Caleb Joseph |
 |
After just three hits last week, he had....one...this week. Although that one hit was a big two-run blast of Tampa's Matt Moore in Sunday's game.
|
Matt Wieters |
 |
Day-to-day as he deals with a stiff back. Maybe that explains his 1-14 performance this week? |
Infielders |
|
|
Ryan Flaherty |
 |
Getting some time at first base, which is probably better than some of the other options there, but he added just two hits in 14 trips (including a two-run homer).
|
J.J. Hardy |
 |
Still lacking in power, but he did have 7 hits in 22 trips, plus a walk. J.J.'s line included a homer and three RBI. The homer was his lone extra-base hit.
|
Manny Machado |
 |
Moved to the third spot in the lineup to help jump-start the offense and responded with just four hits in 20 trips. However, he did have a homer and walk three times. It's hard to complain much when his walk rate is double his career average and he's at his lowest K% in his four seasons at the MLB level.
|
Chris Parmelee |
 |
Avoided DFA briefly due to injuries elsewhere, but he's got to be close, right?
|
Jimmy Paredes |
 |
Just two hits in twelve AB. Paredes has struggled in the month of July, racking up only eleven hits (.186) with two going for extra bases.
|
Jonathan Schoop |
 |
Got to love his power potential, but his OBP is miserable. Schoop has just 2 walks to 21 strikeouts over an injury-shortened season. Struck out at least once in every game he played this week and added only three hits.
|
Outfielders |
|
|
Chris Davis |
 |
On the flip side, the outfield offense was solid. Davis now has a nine game hitting streak and had a grand slam off of Erasmo Ramirez on Saturday.
|
Adam Jones |
 |
The week started poorly for Jones with just two hits in three games against the New York Yankees, but he had back-to-back multi-hit games to finish the weekend.
|
David Lough |
 |
Only two hits in twelve ABs, but he did have a triple!
|
Nolan Reimold |
 |
A mostly poor July for Nolan, but he picked up four hits in limited playing time this week to bring his OBP back to more respectable levels.
|
Travis Snider |
 |
0-10. He and Chris Parmelee were the only two on the roster without hits over the 16th week of the 2015 campaign.
|
Disabled List |
|
|
Jason Garcia |
 |
(Shoulder) - Appears on track to return in late July or early August.
|
Steve Pearce
|
 |
(Oblique) - Placed on the 15-day DL with an oblique strain to make room on the roster for Kevin Gausman. Will be re-evaluated early this week.
