The Orioles finally put the Trevor Rogers experiment on hold
Trevor Rogers made just four starts with the Orioles after Mike Elias acquired him at the trade deadline but it feels like he's been around for much longer than that. In total, Rogers allowed 15 runs in 19 innings with Baltimore, good for a 7.11 ERA to go along with miserable strikeout and walk rates.
