Orioles reliever Pedro Strop continues to get further away from his slow start. Strop fired a 10th straight scoreless outing Sunday against the Twins, lowering his ERA from 11.81 to 4.50 during that stretch.
"I've been working and getting my feeling back," Strop said, per MASNsports.com. "Mechanically-wise, I try to stay closed as much as I can. It's been getting me to the position where I want to be."
Strop said he has sought out advice from pitching coach Rick Adair and closer Jim Johnson.
"I've been getting help from coaches, my teammates," he said. "Jim Johnson's been helping me a lot, because he's pretty much a sinker pitcher. Sometimes, it's not that easy getting those pitches where you want them. It's all about rhythm and location."
