Orioles rookie Brandon Young and reliever Matt Bowman allowed seven runs in a loss to Texas, with Adolis García doing most of the damage.

To me, the fact that these guys appeared in tonight’s game at all speaks to an extreme pitching shortage, not just on the Orioles 40-man roster (you might remember, the O’s have eight starters on the IL right now) but in the high levels of the farm system,

Jordan Westburg is out of the lineup tonight for the fourth consecutive game with a sore left index finger.Westburg could be available to pinch-hit, but the Orioles don’t want to risk worsening his condition.
