Seranthony DomÃnguez - Stuck with blown saveDominguez was charged with a blown save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Giants, allowing a run on one hit and two walks in one-third of an inning.
ImpactProtecting a one-run lead in the ninth, Dominguez walked the first two batters he faced before Casey Schmitt tied the game with a base hit. It's the first blown save in 10 chances for Dominguez since he joined the Orioles in July. The right-hander has allowed three runs in his last two appearances (1.1 innings) after allowing just one run in his previous 7.1 frames. Despite his recent struggles, Dominguez figures to remain in the closing role down the stretch. His ERA sits at 4.37 on the year with a 1.20 WHIP and 66:18 K:BB across 55.2 innings between Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Zach Eflin - Quality start vs. GiantsEflin allowed two runs on six hits and a walk across six innings in a no-decision Thursday against San Francisco. He struck out five.
ImpactA Michael Conforto two-run homer in the fourth inning accounted for the only runs against Eflin as the right-hander earned a seventh quality start in eight outings with the Orioles -- he's posted a 2.31 ERA in that span. Overall, the 30-year-old Eflin is 10-9 with a 3.53 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 133:19 K:BB across 160.2 innings this year between Baltimore and Tampa Bay. He's currently in line for a pivotal road matchup with the Yankees early next week in what's likely to be Eflin's final regular-season start.

Anthony Santander - Walks off San FranSantander went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, two walks and a second run scored in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Giants.
ImpactAfter the Orioles lost a one-run lead in the top of the ninth, Santander delivered a much-needed blast in the bottom half with a two-out, two-run homer off Ryan Walker to give Baltimore the win. Like much of the O's offense, Santander had been struggling of late, going just 2-for-20 in his previous five games. Still, the 29-year-old switch hitter is slashing a strong .238/.310/.511 across 630 plate appearances this year with career highs in both home runs (42) and RBI (97).
