All five of the Orioles minor-league affiliates were in action on Thursday. Four lost... so, there's that.
Norfolk Tides 5, Durham Bulls 4
Continuing to impress this season, Joe Gunkel had quite the productive outing. He allowed eight hits over 6.1 innings, but didn't walk a single Bull and kept the run total to just two. Not bad for a guy fighting for a potential late-season spot with the Birds.
It wasn't as good of a night for lefty Zach Phillips - he faced three hitters: two walks, one hit and two runners scored.
