RELIEVERS: Orioles, Reds, White Sox, Phillies and Angels

This week, we are going to whirl around the Orioles, Reds, White Sox, Phillies and Angels (again). Let's start with Baltimore where Brad Brach has four of the last six saves and seven of 10 overall. He's the guy until Zach Britton (LHP, BAL) returns around mid-June. But there is a real chance that Britton gets traded in July. Heck, Brach might get traded too! So here are some numbers year-to-date:

BAL            Sv  IP  BPV Cln/App  LI   vL   vR
=============  == ==== === ======= ==== ==== ====
Brach           7 19.0  85  14/19  1.04 .353 .205
R.Bleier (L)    0 25.3  67  17/22  1.18 .293 .273
M.Givens        1 26.3 119  13/21  1.27 .189 .224
M.Castro        0 28.7  32  10/18  0.70 .333 .164
P.Araujo        0 24.3  69   6/17  0.69 .220...
