Bryan Baker - Collects third win Baker (3-0) didn't allow a baserunner and struck out two over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Pirates.
Impact Baker entered with two outs in the seventh inning, and Adley Rutschman was able to catch Ji Hwan Bae stealing to end the frame. Baker then submitted a perfect eighth inning. The reliever has quietly emerged as one of the Orioles' most reliable arms, and his 19 appearances are tied for sixth-most in the majors through Friday's action. The right-hander has delivered with a 1.89 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB while adding eight holds and a blown save.

'Special night' for O's Cedric Mullins: Cycle, game-icing HR, diving catch and a win
"Just can't script it any better," Austin Hays said of Baltimore teammate Cedric Mullins, who became the seventh Oriole to hit for the cycle...MAY 13, 2023
Cedric Mullins - Hits for cycle in win Mullins went 4-for-5 with a double, triple, three-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Pirates.
Impact After flying out in his first at-bat, Mullins singled in the third, tripled in the fifth, doubled in the seventh and hit a three-run home run in the eighth to extend Baltimore's lead to 6-2. It was the second cycle in the MLB this season, and the 12th cycle in Orioles' franchise history. Mullins is slashing .268/.365/.478 with five home runs and 31 RBI across 38 games (161 plate appearances) this season.

Félix Bautista - Strikes out side in ninth Bautista picked up the save during Friday's 6-3 win over the Pirates, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Bautista entered with a three-run lead and struck out the side en route to his ninth save of the season. The right-hander is now 9-for-12 in save chances and boasts stellar numbers (1.50 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB) across 18 appearances. Last year, his first in the big leagues, Bautista went 15-for-17 in save opportunities and finished with a 2.19 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 88:23 K:BB over 65.2 innings, so he's already put together a solid track record in limited MLB action.

Kyle Bradish - Six strikeouts in no-decision Bradish did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and one walk over six innings in a 6-3 win over Pittsburgh. He struck out six.
Impact Bradish tied his season high with six strikeouts, and the lone run on his ledger came via a throwing error by Jorge Mateo. The right-hander's 4.56 ERA remains inflated due to a poor outing versus Boston, but other than that, he's been solid through six appearances this season. He'll look to make it back-to-back quality starts next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for a four-game set versus the Angels.

Grayson Rodriguez - No hard innings cap Rodriguez does not have a hard innings cap this season, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com on Friday.
Impact It will be a necessity to manage Rodriguez's workload after he was limited to just 75.2 innings last season because of a strained lat. However, it sounds like the O's don't have a strict number in mind, or at least not one they're willing to share publicly. Rodriguez went a career-long 5.2 frames and threw a career-high 101 pitches in his last start Tuesday versus the Rays.

Ramón Urías - Expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks Urias (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined 2-to-3 weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Urias has reported improvement with his left hamstring strain, but he's still going to need multiple weeks of down time. The infielder suffered the injury on Monday and was placed on the IL Tuesday.

Mychal Givens - One more rehab appearance Givens (knee) could be activated following one more rehab appearance with Double-A Bowie, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Givens made back-to-back appearances with Bowie on Wednesday and Thursday, so he'll need at least one day of rest before pitching again and then being re-evaluated. Assuming he bounces back with no issues, he should be activated at that point. Givens has been out all season with a knee issue.
