The Baltimore Orioles have used eight relievers this season and Greg Aquino is the only one to allow a run. The other seven have combined for 21 scoreless innings. Not bad for a group that began its season missing closer Chris Ray and potential replacement Danys Baez, probably for the season, because of injuries.
