Three of the four Orioles farm teams were losers on Friday, though there were a few solid performers scattered through the affiliates, including a nice Norfolk debut for reliever Ben Rowen.
Well... there's really not much positive to say about this. The Tides only had three baserunners in the entire game. RailRiders starter Bryan Mitchell held them to two hits and a walk over eight innings of work.
Tides starter Chris Jones pitched five innings, allowing three runs that were all unearned due to an error made by Rey Navarro, the second baseman.
