With the man whose rotation spot Vance Worley is keeping warm rehabilitating Friday with High-A Frederick, the Orioles’right-hander said he believes he made a good case to stay in the rotation even after Kevin Gausman’s return.
Worley wore a five-run second inning that began with a home run and was compounded by his own command issues, but rebounded to pitch six innings and keep the Orioles within striking distance for an 11-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday at Globe Life Park.
“I think it showed a lot to let me go back out there and get six after having that rough second inning and I felt like I was just getting stronger as the game went on,” Worley said.
