Kevin Slowey held the Orioles to one run in six innings on Sunday to pick up a victory.

Slowey had just one quality start in his last seven appearances, but the Orioles' offense came to the rescue today. The right-hander gave up five hits while striking out just two batters, but he also issued only one walk and pitched his way out of the jams he created. Even though he had struggled prior to today we'd recommend using Slowey with the Mariners due up next.

Kevin Slowey allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings Tuesday in the loss to the Indians.

Progress is progress for a pitcher who has been bombed in five of his last six starts. This qualifies. Slowey struck out seven and walked just one while giving up six hits. It came apart in the sixth, with the score tied 1-1, when Slowey had two outs and a runner on first but loaded the bases and watched from the dugout as Jesse Crain allowed a two-run single. Slowey gets another putrid lineup next time out when he takes on the Orioles.

He gave up seven hits -- including a solo home run to Wilson Valdez and a two-run blast to Ryan Howard -- before being chased from the game. His ERA hopped from 3.84 to 4.58 with the loss. He'll look to chip away at that number with a start against the Mets next week.

Fortunately, six of the seven hits off him were singles, while the other was a Howie Kendrick double.
