Orioles learn that “different” doesn’t always mean “better” in the rotation

The Orioles rotation has reached some truly low points this season. Charlie Morton has led the charge with an 0-6 record and a 10.36 ERA, but he’s hardly been the only starter to struggle this season. Dean Kremer has surrendered a team-high seven home runs, and Cade Povich holds an ERA above five through his first five starts.

Tomoyuki Sugano has made for a fun story this month, but injuries to Zach Eflin and Grayson Rodriguez left the starting rotation to flounder. Additional injuries to Albert Suárez, Trevor Rogers and Chayce McDermott chiseled away at the team’s depth, and Brandon Hyde struggled to make do with the available options.
