masn-baseballs-orioles.jpgI have arrived at the press box at Prince Georges Stadium for today’s Bowie Baysox vs. Erie game.

Koji Uehara will start for the Baysox and we are not sure if he will pitch just one inning or more. Lefty Zach Britton will follow him on the mound.

Koji has not pitched for the O’s in the regular season and went on the DL March 26th with a left hamstring strain. He pitched a scoreless inning for the Baysox on Tuesday here, throwing 15 pitches, 11 for strikes.
