He’s now the pitcher of record after the Baysox took the lead in the bottom of the eighth.

Gonzalez has made eight appearances on his injury rehab assignment, including three with the Baysox. He’s allowed three runs and eight hits in 8 1/3 innings, with one walk and nine strikeouts.

The plan calls for Gonzalez to pitch again tomorrow night before returning to short-season Single-A Aberdeen for Tuesday’s game. The Orioles could activate him from the disabled list immediately after the break.
