Now that the Orioles have disposed of A.J. Burnett, who hadn’t lost to them until yesterday, they can step forward and claim their prize: Roy Halladay, who’s 16-4 with a 2.84 ERA against them.
The Orioles will watch closely to see if Radhames Liz can maintain his command, and effectiveness, the second and third time through the Blue Jays’ order. He dominated the Twins over five innings in his season debut, but retired only one batter in the sixth and was gone.
Liz still falls toward first base when completing his delivery, but at least he doesn’t end up in the dugout.
