Worth noting

• The status of Orioles reliever Brian Matusz, who missed Friday's game with the flu, was uncertain three hours before Saturday's game, according to Showalter. Matusz was hospitalized on Friday but didn't stay the night.

"He's improved," Showalter said. "See what happens between now and game time."

• Orioles hitting coach Jim Presley, also battling the flu, was not with the team on Saturday.

"That's about as bad as a human being can look, [the way] he looked last night at about 6 o'clock," Showalter said of Presley. "We've had seven, eight, nine cases since the spring. Trying to keep it from spreading. Expecting one every other day now."
