Q&A: Orioles reliever Branden Kline on family, improving through injuries and measuring success

After a Sunday doubleheader last July in Harrisburg with the Double-A Bowie Baysox, Branden Kline used the team's day off for a night away from the club with his wife, Sarah, and young daughter, Adalyn, before another bus off to another city.

He'd pitched well that day, but took the loss in extra innings after the Baysox committed two errors on a stolen-base attempt that allowed a runner to score from first without the ball being put into play.

That day, as Kline, 27, and his family walked through the tunnels of FNB Field trying to find an exit, a stadium employee asked Kline where he was ranked on the prospect lists.
