Orioles recap: Four home runs lift O's to 9-4 win over Angels to open series - Baltimore Sun
Hector Santiago probably should have known it wasn't his night when he gave up Joey Rickard's fourth home run of the season. And it sure didn't get any better from there for him, as he was ejected in the third inning after arguing balls and strikes. Oh, and giving up three of the four homeruns the O's hit in the game. That, too.
Orioles notes: Left-hander T.J. McFarland leaves start for Triple-A Norfolk with knee injury - Baltimore Sun
Orioles left-hander T.J. McFarland left Friday's game with Triple-A Norfolk with a knee injury suffered while covering home plate.So I guess that answers the question I had in the minors recap earlier today. And his injury probably solidifies Brian Matusz' place as the lefty specialist in the bullpen even deeper.

Orioles' reliever Dylan Bundy wins pre-game cow-milking contest on the field in Anaheim - Baltimore Sun
"Apparently a rookie guy does it or a reliever, and I happen to be both," Dylan Bundy said. "I think I got picked for that reason, and for some reason, people on the team think I milk cows all the time. I don't. I think I've milked one cow in my life." He may not have been happy about it, but he pulled out the win ... I'll see myself out.
Happy Birthday to Joey Rickard and Matt Wieters! It's also the birthday of former Orioles Andrew Miller, Tommy Davis, Chris Widger, and Bob Molinaro.
