"I don't think we're worried about how Mahoney is," Showalter joked.
Berken was down for a while, but looks like he could pitch again next week.

Second baseman Brian Roberts was given a routine day off Thursday with Triple-A Norfolk. He is expected to play for the Tides through June 11 and then could return to the Orioles. … The Orioles purchased the contract of 31-year-old left-handed reliever Rich Rundles from the Lancaster Barnstormers of the independent Atlantic League and will assign him to Norfolk. He was originally drafted in the third round in 1999 by the Boston Red Sox and Duquette. Rundles pitched in nine big-league games in 2008 and 2009 for the Cleveland Indians. This year he was 2-1 with a 3.02 ERA in eight starts with the Barnstormers. … The Orioles have won seven straight extra-inning games, including three against the Red Sox. That's the longest such streak this year for any team.
