Orioles closer Zach Britton allows a run in Double-A rehab outing but has his 'best stuff yet'

Orioles closer Zach Britton moved ever closer to a return to the back of the major league bullpen with an inning of work Monday for Double-A Bowie, officially passing the halfway point of his seven-outing rehabilitation plan after his left forearm strain.

That injury is no longer a concern, and he felt he had his “best stuff yet” despite allowing a run on two hits Monday at Prince George’s Stadium in a 2-1 win over Altoona, but the next week of outings is important as he tries to get in step with a major league season that has mostly passed him by.
