Cedric Mullins did not play in this game, fueling speculation that the Orioles might activate him after just three rehab games with the Tides. Ryan Mountcastle, who has not been on the injured list for as long as Mullins, is still working on his rehab. Here’s the thing about that: He’s hitless in 11 at-bats after going 0-3 in this one. If it makes you feel any better about him, he drew a walk last night. No, it doesn’t make me feel better either.
This one turned into a clunker in the fourth inning, when starting pitcher Chris Vallimont melted down and gave up five runs in the inning.
