The Orioles’ two premier relievers — closer Zach Britton and Darren O’Day — experienced vastly different results Thursday as they pitched in games on consecutive days for the first time this season.
Britton, who pitched a scoreless seventh inning and struck out the side for the second time in three appearances this week, continued what’s been a dominant spring. He’s allowed one earned run in six Grapefruit League innings, striking out 11 and allowing just three hits and a pair of walks.
But for O’Day, the submariner who this offseason signed a four-year, $31 million deal to remain an Oriole, the latest outing continued what’s been a grind.
