Alec Asher's strong Orioles debut unlikely to keep him in majors ... for now

But several moving parts will likely push him through a revolving door as the Orioles fill their fifth rotation spot until right-hander Chris Tillman returns from the disabled list.

Asher opened eyes against the Toronto Blue Jays, taking advantage of the opportunity by allowing just one run over 6 1/3 innings in the Orioles' 2-1 walk-off loss at Rogers Centre.

"He certainly did his part," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
