August 11, 2011|By Dan Connolly, The Baltimore Sun

Double-A Bowie right-handed pitcher Dan Klein will see Yocum on Monday about his ailing right shoulder. Klein has been shut down after he attempted to throw earlier this week and felt discomfort. ... Despite his absence from the club, Thursday was Arrieta's T-shirt giveaway at Camden Yards. … Nolan Reimold, who hit the game-winning homer in the 10th inning Wednesday, became the fourth Oriole since 2000 to have two walk-off home runs. His other one came in 2009. He joins Cal Ripken Jr. (both in 2000), Tony Batista (2002, 2003) and Brian Roberts (2005 and 2010). … J.J. Hardy's 21 homers are more than any other AL East shortstop since Miguel Tejada hit 24 for the Orioles in 2006. … Former Orioles shortstop Mike Bordick will be inducted into the organization's Hall of Fame in a pre-game ceremony Saturday night. Longtime athletic trainer Richie Bancells will also be honored as the Herb Armstrong Award winner for nonuniformed personnel. The Orioles encourage fans to be in their seats by 6:30 p.m. that evening.
