--RHP Jeremy Guthrie will not start Saturday. The Orioles instead will start LHP Garrett Olson, as manager Dave Trembley needs to see Guthrie throw a full side session.
--RHP Jim Miller got his first career save, despite the return of All-Star closer George Sherrill. Miller allowed a hit and a walk, and mixed in a strikeout on 20 pitches. --OF Lou Montanez batted leadoff for the first time in his career. Playing left field, he went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a run batted in.
--LHP George Sherrill was activated from the 15-day disabled list. Sherrill had been out since Aug. 16 with left shoulder inflammation.
--RHP Matt Albers (torn labrum) will return home after rehabbing with the team over the last week. Albers "made a tremendous amount of progress," manager Dave Trembley said, but he will not pitch this season. He's a candidate for the rotation in 2009.
BY THE NUMBERS: 9 -- Occasions in 48 1/3 innings on the Orioles' six-game road trip to Tampa Bay and Boston in which the pitching staff retired the side in order.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "He deserves it. He has done a lot for the organization in his year and a half. He's been a great manager. He knows his stuff." -- RF Nick Markakis, to The Sun, in support of manager Dave Trembley, whose contract option for 2009 was picked up Sept. 5.
