    What should Adam Plutko's role with the Orioles be?

    He’s gotten off to a good start while the pitchers around him have been scuffling in the early going. Baltimore’s pitching rotation has a 5.40 ERA, and the numbers get uglier when you take out John Means’s mark of 0.77. The bullpen has run hot and cold, depending on the pitcher in question, with an ERA of 4.62.

    Orioles, Mariners set to play two after rainout

    Seattle left-hander Justus Sheffield (0-1, 7.20 ERA) will square off against Baltimore southpaw John Means (1-0, 0.77) in the opener, while Mariners lefty Nick Margevicius (0-1, 7.71) will be opposed by rookie right-hander Dean Kremer (0-1, 9.00) in the nightcap. Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager highlighted a four-hit performance with two homers and four RBIs on Sunday in an 8-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins. His three-run shot in the ninth inning provided the final salvo in the contest.
