and allowed two earned runs in his two victories (6/18 at DET, 5.1 IP, 1 ER and 6/29 vs. NYY, 5.2 IP, 1 ER) Struck out season-high five on 6/24 vs. CLE Tossed season-long 7.0 innings on 7/4 at CWS Went 6-5 with a 4.27 ERA (49 ER/103.1 IP) in 19 starts for Triple-A Norfolk Ranked second on the Tides pitching staff with nine Quality Starts behind Josh Stinson (11) Went 5-1 with a 3.15 ERA (19 ER/54.1 IP) in nine road starts in the International League Held Triple-A left-handed hitters to a line of.208/.299/.317 in 101 at-bats On 8/28 at Charlotte, tied his season-high with eight strikeouts and registered 13 groundouts Posted a 2.98 groundout/blyball ratio, but finished 12.0 innings shy of qualifying among minor league leaders, where that ratio would have been tops at the Double-A and

earned run over 6.0 innings With an 11-11 record, became the first Orioles starter with more than 20 decisions in a season to post a.500 or better record since Erik Bedard went 15-11 in 2006 Struck out six in his debut, including Elliot Johnson in the first inning for his first Major League strikeout Became the seventh of eight Orioles starters to win their Major League debut since the start of the 2009 season, joining Koji Uehara, Brad Bergesen, Jason Berken, David Hernandez, Brian Matusz and Jake Arrieta Allowed one earned run over his first two Major League appearances (13.2 IP) According to the Elias Sports Bureau, only Tom Phoebus won his first two Major League games as an Oriole (since 1954), both as a starting pitcher, allowing no more than one run combined Prior to Britton, the last Orioles pitcher to allow one or fewer runs in the first 13.2 innings of his career was Kurt Birkins in May 2006 (he allowed one run, all innings pitched in relief) The last Orioles pitcher to allow a total of one-or-fewer runs in his first two career starts was Chuck McElroy in September of 2000 (1 ER/11.0 IP) McElroy had 603 relief outings in the majors before his first two starts in 2000 Worked 9.0 scoreless innings in that 5/12 start and was opposed by Jason Vargas, who also worked 9.0 scoreless innings The last time the Orioles played a game in which both pitchers went 9.0 innings was 7/11/03 (Baltimore s Rodrigo Lopez and Oakland s Tim Hudson) It also marked the first time two Major League pitchers went 9.0 innings or more each and both received a no-decision since 7/10/10 (Philadelphia s Roy Halladay and Cincinnati s Travis Wood) It was just the third such occurrence in the majors since 2000 The last Orioles starter to throw 9.0-shutout innings and not factor in the decision was Mike Morgan on 4/16/88 vs. CLE Joined Jake Arrieta as the first pair of Orioles starters to both have five wins by 5/20 since Erik Bedard (five) and Kris Benson in 2006 Recorded five hits in his three Interleague starts, going 5-for-8 with a double, a homer, two RBI, and three runs scored According to the Elias Sports Bureau, his five hits were the most in one season by an AL pitcher since the creation of the designated hitter in 1974 Set a career high with three straight wins 4/20-5/1 and tied that mark 8/22-9/1 Struck out a then-career-high seven on 9/17 vs. LAA Had a streak of 19.1 scoreless innings over three starts from 5/6-18 In his two starts, 7/8-30, he became the first player in Major League history to allow eight or more runs while lasting less than an inning in each of two consecutive starts In his 8/28 start vs. NYY (over 7.0 innings) he threw a career-high 120 pitches, the most by an Orioles pitcher in 2011 and most by an Orioles starter against the Yankees since Sidney Ponson threw 128 in 5.2 innings on 6/1/04 at Yankee Stadium Pitched to a 3.09 ERA (30 ER/87.1 IP) at home and a 6.58 ERA (49 ER/67.0 IP) on the road Went 3-1 with a 2.02 ERA (8 ER/35.2

five April starts and 2-1 with a 2.60 ERA (5 ER/17.1 IP) in three August starts Opponents batted.228 (72-for-316) against him at home and.331 (90-for-272) on the road Made one start for Triple-A Norfolk on 8/16 and allowed one run over 5.0 innings on three hits and a walk against Charlotte Made three starts for Double-A Bowie 7/15-25, going 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA (7 ER/11.2 IP). 2010: Received
