The Baltimore Orioles are in the market for starting pitching and are monitoring Philadelphia Phillies starter Jeremy Hellickson, according to MLB.com's Jon Morosi.
Morosi reports that the Orioles had scouts at Wednesday's Phillies game watching Hellickson, who is drawing interest from several teams, including his opponent last night -- the Miami Marlins.
Hellickson impressed in the outing, striking out eight and allowing one run in eight innings.
The Orioles have the hitting, defense and bullpen of a playoff team. The starting pitching staff? There is work to do, according to GM Dan Duquette.
