Povich (3-9) picked up the win Friday, allowing two hits and a walk over 5.2 scoreless innings in a 7-2 victory over the Twins. He struck out two. The rookie southpaw fired 57 of 79 pitches for strikes, falling just short of his fourth career quality start, as he helped the Orioles clinch a wild-card spot. Povich put together an impressive September to close out his first season in the majors, posting a 2.60 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings over five outings, but it's not yet clear how Baltimore plans to deploy the 24-year-old in the playoffs.

Povich did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 loss against the Tigers, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over five innings. Povich turned in another solid outing Saturday as he continues his strong month of September. The rookie left-hander has a 3.27 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 30 strikeouts in 22 innings this month. Opponents are hitting just .175 against Povich over that stretch, and he'll finish off his regular season with a road start at Minnesota next week.

Povich (2-10) earned the win Tuesday over the White Sox, allowing five hits over 7.1 scoreless innings. He struck out 10. Povich took advantage of a matchup with the last-place White Sox, turning in his best start thus far in his rookie campaign while striking out a season-high 10 batters in a scoreless effort. Povich had lost five of his last six outings coming into Tuesday, posting an ugly 9.24 ERA in that span. The left-hander lowered his ERA to 5.76 though 59.1 innings this year with a 1.60 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB. Povich is currently slated for a road matchup with the Red Sox early next week in his next start.

Povich (1-7) took the loss against the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk over 3.1 innings while striking out three. Povich got knocked around early and often, allowing at least two hits in each of his four innings. The southpaw generated just four whiffs over that stretch while allowing five runs for the second consecutive start. Povich has now lost his last five decisions, allowing three or more runs in five of six outings over that stretch. He'll finish up the month of August with a 7.36 ERA to go along with a 12:3 K:BB.

Povich is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Astros at Camden Yards, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday as a replacement on the 26-man roster and in the rotation for Zach Eflin (shoulder), who was placed on the injured list. Povich has been largely ineffective over his nine starts with the big club this season (5.77 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, 4.0 K-BB% in 43.2 innings), but he delivered one of his better performances in his most recent outing with Baltimore this past Saturday. Though he was handed a loss against the Red Sox, he held a potent lineup to two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out six batters over a career-high 6.1 innings.
