Garrett Olson

A recap of the Orioles' 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays last night: Game-winner The Blue Jays made an improbable comeback capped by a ninth-inning rally that was highlighted by two errors. Ramon Hernandez's throw sailed into the outfield and allowed Alex Rios to move to third on a steal attempt. And then Rios scored when shortstop Freddie Bynum let a grounder go through his legs for the loss. Unlucky seventh The Blue Jays sent 10 men to the plate in their four-run seventh inning, which tied the game at 6. The big blow came on a three-run triple by Rios against reliever Dennis Sarfate.

Orioles @Red Sox 7:05 p.m. [MASN] Orioles starter Garrett Olson, who is 5-1 since being called up from the minors in late April, has given up just four runs in his past 18 innings. Boston pitcher Bartolo Colon beat the Orioles, 9-4, on June 1.

Each time Garrett Olson takes the ball, he must feel as if he's auditioning for a part in the Orioles' regular rotation. Not necessarily a lead role, but at this stage of his career, even the bit parts are appealing. String together a few quality starts in a row, and you've made it big. Lay an egg the size of Ryan Howard's backside - fried in the heated environment of Yankee Stadium, no less - and you're just a tease who never will match expectations. Dim the lights. Is it fair? Of course not. But since when is a 24-year-old's baseball life supposed to be fair?
