Loewen Placed on the DL; Game Postponed due to Rain...

The big news today is that Adam Loewen was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Loewen struggled last night, allowing 5 runs in less than 3 innings. He admitted after the game that he had been experiencing pain while throwing.

"It's starting to get worse in the general area of my forearm. It just starts off as a dull pain and gets sharper as I go on," he said. "Hopefully it's nothing serious, and I don't think it is. There's two guys in the bullpen that are deserving to get the ball every fifth day. They deserve a shot, so it's not like a huge blow right now. We've got guys who can step in, " he said.

In other news, it's 10:40 pm here in Baltimore, and the O's game is still in a rain delay. The game started on time, but was delayed in the bottom of the first. There was no score at that time. I'll keep you updated if the game resumes; they're saying it may start back up at 11:30...

As I was writing this, the game was cancelled! The teams will play a doubleheader tomorrow. Game 1 starts at 1pm; game 2 will start at 7pm.

Here's hoping that rain won't continue to dampen the O's performance...

O! By the way, the Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays all lost today! The O's are just a half game out of first...
