Starting rotation( US Presswire )
Newcomer Joe Saunders (pictured) was the only Orioles starter to really struggle last week, unless you count Chris Tillman's injury-shortened outing Sunday. The rotation combined to go 3-2 with a 2.72 ERA, and the ERA was actually deceptively high. Take out Saunders' six-run debut and Tillman's quick exit (3 IP, 2 ER), and it drops to 1.30. Now, factor in that all seven games last week were against first-place teams and you've got to ignore the won-loss record and give the rotation some real love.
