After watching Cole Irvin pitch for last night, the imperative of John Means getting into a position to help this year’s Orioles rotation feels even more urgent to me. Means joined Norfolk to continue his rehab with a pitch limit of 70. There will presumably be one or two more rehab starts after this one.
In the runs allowed column, Means was fine, tossing 4.1 innings with a run only scoring on a solo home run. That sounds like John Means, all right. He gave up four hits overall, walked two, struck out two, and hit a batter.
