Walker (2-3) dropped his third consecutive decision, allowing four runs (three earned), five hits and two walks while striking out three in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Since beginning the season with four straight quality starts, Walker hasn't thrown six innings in any of his last four outings. Walker's night was done on Wednesday after a rough fifth inning in which he was lucky to escape without allowing more than one run. The right-hander still holds a 2.95 ERA and 1.13 WHIP, and Walker is off to a much better start than last year. He'll toe the rubber next at home against the A's on Monday.
