BALTIMORE -- There will be growing pains, for sure. As the last-place Orioles already gaze toward the future, a combination of injuries (Darren O'Day and Richard Bleier) and trade bait (Zach Britton and Brad Brach) put the club's bullpen in a precarious position. Some are being showcased, some are being auditioned for future roles. For rookie Tanner Scott, he's being thrust into a bigger role than most could have envisioned -- and experiencing the ups and downs that go along with it.
Scott served up a three-run homer to pinch-hitter Ryan Rua as part of a decisive four-run seventh that saw the Orioles fall, 5-4, to the Rangers on Friday night.
