Orioles' Albert Suarez: Quality start sets up ninth win
Albert Suarez (9-7) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Twins. He struck out four.Suarez closed out the 2024 regular season with a quality start, allowing a couple of solo homers but limiting the Twins to just three additional baserunners. It was a nice bounce-back effort for Suarez, who had allowed eight earned runs over his previous two starts spanning 8.2 innings. After having allowed just eight home runs through his first 27 appearances (109 innings) this year, Suarez has been tagged for nine long balls over his last five starts and 24.2 innings. The propensity for giving up the long ball will be a concern as the Baltimore Orioles set their postseason pitching staff.

Orioles' Albert Suarez: Now expected to start Sunday
Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Albert Suarez is likely to start Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.Suarez was initially on track to take the hill Saturday, but the Orioles will bring up Cade Povich from Triple-A Norfolk to make a spot start that day, giving Suarez and the rest of the members of the Orioles rotation some extra rest. Hyde said that he does not plan at this time to move to a six-man rotation, so Povich may be sent back to Triple-A or shift to the bullpen after Saturday's outing. Suarez could eventually shift to the bullpen as well, but a move to a relief role doesn't seem to be imminent.
