Zach Britton claimed his first AA win, as Bowie beat Harrisburg 2-1. Britton went 6 innings, allowed 5 hits, 1 er, 2 bb's, with 6 k's. Britton had his sinker working, as he forced 10 grounders overall.Wilfrido Perez earned his 2nd save, with a scoreless inning of work.

Chris Tillman made his 2nd AAA start of the year, and had limited success tonight. Over just 4.2 innings, Tillman allowed 8 hits, 3 er, 1 bb, with 4 k's. Over these first two 2010 starts, Tillman has a 5.19 era. This should only 'concern' you if you believe these 8.2...

The Orioles fall to 1-7, with a 8-6 extra-inning loss to Tampa tonight. For the 3rd time in a week, Baltimore has dropped a game they should have won. You have to feel for Matusz, who was outstanding during his first 7 innings. I've done my share of defending of...

Matt Hobgood, the 2009 1st-round Draft pick of the Baltimore Orioles, made his full-season debut for the Low A Delmarva Shorebirds last-night. Hobgood went 4 innings, allowed 3 hits, 3 er, 5 bb's, and 4 k's. Nobody likes seeing the 5 walks, but let us all remember...

At one-point last night's Bowie Baysox starter Chorye Spoone was considered one of the jewels of the Oriole system. In 2007, Spoone had spent the entire year at Single A Frederick going 10-9, with a 3.26 era. He had pitched 152 innings, allowed just 108 hits, had 67...

Brandon Snyder and Josh Bell both got going at AAA Norfolk last-night, as they contributed to the 12-3 Tides win. Each player finished 3 for 4 with a double. Bell had 1 RBI, while Snyder had 3. Mickolio went another 1.1 scoreless, though he did have 2 walks. Sarfate...
