Orioles minor league recap 5/4: Rom twirls a gem and Willems stays hot at the plate

Drew Rom bounced back from his toughest start of the season a week ago to put together a dominant performance on the mound here. The lefty tossed six shutout innings, allowing just two hits and three walks while striking out 11. His season ERA is down to 2.87, and while a promotion may not be imminent for the 23-year-old, he sure is positioning himself well in his first full year at Norfolk and as a member of the 40-man roster.
