It's been a rough half-season for the Orioles and Baltimore - making the inevitable turnaround that much sweeter.

The Atlanta Braves are traveling down from Disney World today to play the Orioles at Ed Smith Stadium for their only spring meeting.

The Orioles have activated Wilson Betemit from the 60-day disabled list and optioned infielder Ryan Flaherty to High-A Frederick.

This time last year, Dan Duquette arrived at the annual GM meetings just a week into his new job as Orioles executive vice president focused on getting reaccustomed to fellow front office executives.

The Orioles are looking to continue their interleague success this season and get a series win with a victory this afternoon in Atlanta.

Jason Heyward's two-out single to left in the seventh inning broke up the no-hit bid, but Hammel still gave the Orioles the best pitching performance of his career — a one-hitter and his first complete-game shutout — in a 5-0 victory against the Braves.

Buck Showalter thought Orioles left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada would carry some adrenaline onto the mound with him for his much-anticipated Grapefruit League debut against the Braves on Sunday afternoon at Champion Stadium.
