Brian Matusz - LHP (4-4, 4.86 ERA)

Brian Matusz pitched reasonably well but the Orioles bats fell silent on the day Adam Jones signed his six year extension with full no trade clause to stay in Baltimore through age 32 for a minimum of 85.5 million dollars. 

Adam doubled and so did Chris Davis and Robert Andino. Luke Hochevar was hanging by a tread several times. 

The Kansas City bullpen shut the door with pitches in the 100 mph range. Otherwise it was a real nice day at Camden Yards with full military representation. Over 33000 fans attended.
