Berken Effective in Relief

Berken pitched one more inning after my last post allowing two more hits, but not surrendering a run. His ERA now stands at 1.50 in 12 innings pitched. Maybe he's found a home in the bullpen, and I think that is where he is the most effective. One time through the order he can get hitters out, it's the second and third times through the order he struggles.

The O's were able to break up the no hitter by Fister and also score a run, but Kam Mickolio has come in and given that run back to the Mariners and it's currently 8-1. He needs to keep pitching to see if we have something with him and see how effective he can be late in the game out of the bullpen.
