In Bowie doubleheader Friday, John Means and Mike Baumann provide promise for Orioles’ second-half rotation

On a night at Camden Yards when the Orioles’ pitching challenges were on full display, a doubleheader in Bowie offered a glimpse of the promise the second half of the season could hold when it comes to the club’s starting rotation.

Left-hander John Means, a 2019 All-Star, made his second rehabilitation start on his way back from a shoulder strain, then one of the club’s top pitching prospects, right-hander Mike Baumann, had another in a recent run of encouraging starts that makes it plausible that he could make his major league debut at some point in the second half.
