Brach(5-3)surrendered two hits and an earned run over an inning in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Brach came on in the ninth to preserve a 3-3 tie and surrendered a fielder's choice ground out to Justin Smoak that plated Dalton Pompey. The 29-year-old reliever had successfully converted all 13 hold situations he'd encountered during the 2015 campaign prior to Monday's contest, and had also posted scoreless appearances in eight out of his previous nine trips to the mound. Monday's hiccup notwithstanding, Brach has turned in generally solid relief work for the Orioles, particularly post-All-Star break. He has posted a sparkling 1.63 ERA in the second half of the season.
