  • Orioles' Keegan Akin: Nabs rare save
    By RotoWire

    Akin recorded the final two outs of Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees to record his first save of the season. It's the third career save for the southpaw, with the prior two being of the three-inning variety and not traditional save situations. The Orioles didn't look like they would have one of those either Wednesday, heading into the ninth inning with a 9-3 lead, but Matt Bowman made a mess of things and Akin got the call to retire Austin Wells and Giancarlo Stanton, giving Baltimore's high-leverage options like Seranthony Dominguez and Yennier Cano an extra day of rest ahead of the playoffs. On the season, Akin sports a 3.13 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 96:19 K:BB through 77.2 innings, but those career-best ratios have led to only three wins and six holds in addition to Wednesday's save.

  • Orioles' Keegan Akin: Stuck with first loss
    By RotoWire

    Akin (3-1) allowed three runs (one earned) on one hit and struck out one over one-third of an inning to take the extra-inning loss and a blown save Wednesday versus the Red Sox. Akin gave up a walk-off three-run home run to Tyler O'Neill in the 10th inning. Over his previous nine appearances, Akin had yielded just one run over 10.1 innings while posting a 16:1 K:BB. He's generally had success in a low-leverage role this year, posting a 3.44 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 87:17 K:BB while picking up five holds and three blown saves in 59 appearances.

  • The Orioles activated Akin from the paternity list Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Akin missed the last three games while tending to more important family matters but will be available for the remainder of the Orioles' weekend series against the Astros. The left-hander has had an excellent season for Baltimore, collecting a 3.52 ERA and 78:16 K:BB over 64 innings.

  • Orioles' Keegan Akin: Back with big club
    By RotoWire

    The Orioles recalled Akin from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. He'll make his return to the big club as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Before he was sent back to Triple-A on Aug. 1, Akin had struck out 12 while allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks over 10 innings across his last nine relief appearances, so his demotion likely had more to do with the fact that he had a minor-league option remaining rather than the Orioles being dissatisfied with his performance.

  • Akin (2-0) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one over 1.1 innings, picking up a blown save but earning the win and over Atlanta on Wednesday. Akin ended up squandering a two-run lead when he gave up a home run to Matt Olson in the top of the eighth inning. The Orioles got it right back on a Colton Cowser blast in their half of the frame, and Craig Kimbrel closed out the win. Akin has had a mild case of reverse splits this year -- lefties are hitting .245 off the southpaw, while right-handed batters have hit just .206. Overall, he's pitching better to all hitters this season, and he has a 4.13 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB over 32.2 innings in a low-leverage role. Akin may see slightly tougher matchups moving forward, as he is one of two southpaws left in the bullpen, along with Cionel Perez, to cover for the absence of Danny Coulombe (elbow), who is expected to have a relatively short stay on the injured list.
