This one isn't as complicated as predicting the weather. It's a rather simple truth about Orioles right-hander Andrew Cashner that has played out plenty this season and came into focus again in Wednesday's soggy 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Cashner was cruising through the Phillies lineup for five innings, completing two scoreless turns through the lineup, before it flipped over a third time to open the sixth inning and the Orioles' one-run lead turned into a two-run deficit.
Cashner (1-5) has been a fine major league pitcher this year, just as the Orioles signed him to be.
