Povich struggles, Westburg wilts as shortstop fill-in, O’s lose 8-4 to Jays

The nearly two-hour rain delay was sadly not worth it as the Orioles lost game two of the day 8-4 to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Cade Povich was called upon to make a spot start here, perhaps hoping to put forth a performance worthy of a return to the rotation. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

Over 4.1 innings the rookie struggled mightily with command and failed to miss enough bats. Povich issued five walks, coughed up seven hits, and recorded only one strikeout. And the defense behind him was not particularly helpful. Jordan Westburg, filling in at shortstop to give Gunnar Henderson a rare breather, made two flubs that led to runs.
