Decent outing for Hernandez

Decent outing for Hernandez
Tonight's attendance - 39,285. Considering some of his recent outings, which included giving up four homers and six runs in 2 2/3 at Fenway Park, David Hernandez had a good one tonight. Nice bounce back effort and I'm sure the club is encouraged he got them to the 7th in a 3-3 tie. Hernandez's line: 6IP, 7H, 3R-ER, 3B, 1K, 1 HR.....93 pitches. He'd probably take back only one pitch - a hanging curve that Josh Reddick hit for a two-run homer in the second. He won't however, pick up...

Trembley and Hernandez post-game quotes

Trembley and Hernandez post-game quotes
On a night his team lost 11-5, Dave Trembley saw some pitching he liked and some he didn't. "We were encouraged the way Hernandez threw. That was his best outing in a while. Albers had good numbers coming in, 1 for 7, vs. Pedroia. Youkilis, we were looking for a groundball there and didn't get it. Castillo has pitched well for us, much improved from the past, but he just didn't get outs. We had a potential double-play with McCrory on the mound, didn't get it and that opened the...

Will there be another change for Rowell?

Will there be another change for Rowell?
The Orioles are not confirming anything yet, but it appears there have been internal discussions about moving Billy Rowell from outfield back to the infield. Rowell, who played third base his first three seasons in the organization, played right field last year for the Class-A Frederick Keys. The 21-year-old Rowell struggled at bat the last two years with Frederick, but also had a tough time last season adjusting to right field. The O's 2006 first-round draft pick, he made 15 errors with a...
