BAL • Pitcher • #78

Cano struggled to a 5.12 ERA in 58 innings last year, but he’s still a strong groundball pitcher with a decent strikeout rate and his .335 BABIP last year wasn’t all his fault. He’ll contend for a setup role in the Baltimore pen, but since he does have two option years left, he’s not promised anything.

Keegan Akin had recorded the final out in the eighth and started the ninth with a two-run lead over the Blue Jays. He recorded one out and was replaced by Cano with a runner on. Cano surrendered three straight hits that would tie the game before Alejandro Kirk knocked in the walk-off run with a sacrifice fly, charging Cano with a blown save and his seventh loss.

Pham’s homer started the ninth. Cano rebounded to retire the next two batters, but he was then replaced by Keegan Akin with lefty Oneil Cruz coming up. Akin went on to walk two before finishing the inning, and the Orioles eventually won in 11. Akin still seems like the favorite for saves in Baltimore, but no one is a great bet there right now.

Cano fanned Will Wagner and Fernando Tatis Jr. before getting a routine grounder from Luis Arraez to end it. This was Cano’s first real save chance since Félix Bautista went down and the Orioles made their deadline deals. He has a 5.07 ERA and a 47/24 K/BB for the year, and he’ll probably continue to take a backseat to Keegan Akin for the most part.

The Orioles had lefty Dietrich Enns pitch the eighth with a 4-1 lead tonight, and after he got through it scoreless, he stayed in to face Roman Anthony in a 6-1 game in the ninth. Anthony singled, at which point Cano entered. Cano went on to walk Nathaniel Lowe and give up a two-run double to Jarren Duran with two outs before getting Ceddanne Rafaela to ground out to end it. It wasn’t a save situation for Cano, but the way things played out suggests he would have gotten one had the Orioles not increased their lead in the ninth.

Cano was summoned in the bottom of the tenth after Félix Bautista tossed a scoreless ninth and the Orioles took a three-run lead in the top of the tenth. He struck out one batter in a clean inning of work to convert his first save of the season, while Bautista fell in line for his first win.

Cano will get a second chance in the Baltimore bullpen after being sent down following a shaky run with the Orioles. The 31-year-old has the talent to be one of the better high-leverage arms, but it remains to be seen if he can refind that form. He’s up with Keegan Akin on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation.

This move qualifies as a surprise. Cano has been a fixture in Baltimore’s high-leverage mix over the last three seasons, but the club appears to be sending a message by demoting him to the minors. The 31-year-old righty reeled off a pair of scoreless appearances after melting down in a four-run implosion earlier this week against the Rays. He holds a pedestrian 4.73 ERA across 26 2/3 innings (32 appearances).
