Lowther didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Royals, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.
Called up Monday to make his second career MLB start, Lowther gave the O's a quality start on 92 pitches (56 strikes) and exited in line for his first career win, but the Baltimore bullpen couldn't make a 2-1 lead hold up. It's not clear whether the 25-year-old southpaw will remain in the rotation, but this performance was more than good enough to earn him a longer look.
