FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - There have been few good days for the Orioles' projected starting rotation recently, so when they occur, they are certainly worth celebrating. Adam Loewen, who has struggled all spring, had a solid outing yesterday, holding the New York Mets to one run in five innings in the Orioles' 1-0 loss at Fort Lauderdale Stadium.Loewen allowed two hits and walked three batters and has allowed 29 base runners in 12 1/3 innings this spring. But for one day, concerns about his surgically repaired elbow and balky shoulder were eased.The concerns about the rest of the rotation aren't expected to go away anytime soon."
