SEATTLE -- When rookie right-hander Luis Ortiz got the call to the Major Leagues, getting his chance in the bigs wasn't something on his mind at the moment.
He was thinking about the end of the season, which was fast approaching, as his season with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides had just ended.
Ortiz had been just traded from the Brewers' organization to the Orioles just before the non-waiver Trade Deadline on July 31, his second trade in the past three seasons.
"I was thinking about going home," said Ortiz, a native of Sanger, Calif.
