Making his first start with the Orioles on Wednesday after a rocky relief debut Sunday, Straily allowed five runs on eight hits — including two home runs — in 3⅓ innings for an inauspicious start to his young Orioles career. Straily signed Friday after a few weeks on the open market following his late-spring release by the Miami Marlins, taking the roster spot of Rule 5 infielder Drew Jackson. He joined the Orioles on Saturday and pitched Sunday in a lopsided loss to the Yankees. He allowed five runs on five hits, including two home runs, against New York and had the flyball going again early Wednesday. Oakland didn’t score in the first inning despite two hits, but Chad Pinder’s one-out home run put the Orioles behind in the second.
