Takes first loss Bautista (0-1) took the loss Tuesday versus the Brewers, allowing a run on two hits with two strikeouts in two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Bautista pitched 1.1 scoreless innings Sunday versus the Rays in his major-league debut, but he couldn't replicate the effort Tuesday. He allowed a Willy Adames double in the seventh inning, and Cionel Perez allowed the inherited runner to score on Andrew McCutchen's single.

The Orioles recently traded Cole Sulser and Tanner Scott to the Marlins, so Bautista should have a chance to earn high-leverage opportunities if he pitches well early in his major-league career.
