AI Summary
Shane Baz took a loss against the Nationals after pitching seven innings with three runs allowed, falling to 1-5 with a 5.26 ERA through nine starts.
Baz at least pitched deep enough to give the Orioles pen a break, but he only got a whiff on six of 53 swings and allowed nine hard-hit balls. The Orioles traded for Baz this offseason and gave him an extension that valued him as if they'd already fixed him. With a 5.26 ERA and 1.52 WHIP through his first nine starts, it looks like they've done anything but. Baz is slated to face his old team, the Rays, next week in a matchup we can't really recommend.
