Left-hander Vidal Nuño’s introduction to the already-grim proceedings at Camden Yards on Monday night, with they Orioles trailing 5-0, was a familiar one over both this homestand and the entire season.
Nuño and a host of other swingmen called up from Triple-A Norfolk to provide bullpen length have mostly just provided more headaches for a pitching staff that is desperate for their struggles to end.
Nuño’s forgettable night — two outs recorded, with five runs in on six hits and a pair of walks to bring his ERA to 10.43 — was similar to some of the other middle-relief outings that have inflated the Orioles’ bullpen ERA and failed to provide that short-handed group much stability this year.
