If Matt Harvey is trying to earn a spot in Baltimore’s rotation, he didn’t help his cause last night. In just two innings, Harvey gave up four runs on three homers. He did strike out five in those two innings, which is something I guess.
Bruce Zimmermann followed Harvey with two very good innings, giving up just one hit and striking out three. A parade of relievers followed Harvey and Zimmermann and combined to give up five runs, including a three-run homer on a pitch thrown from Morgan McSweeney that blew the lead in the eighth inning.
With eight runs scored, you might think there would be some big performances from the prospects.
