Orioles designate reliever Craig Kimbrel for assignment

BALTIMORE (AP) — Craig Kimbrel’s time with the Baltimore Orioles is over.

The Orioles designated their former closer for assignment Wednesday following the latest in a series of rough outings.

Kimbrel gave up six runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning of relief in Baltimore’s 10-0 home loss to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Kimbrel has a 13.94 ERA in his last 11 appearances over the past month.

A nine-time All-Star, Kimbrel has pitched in 837 games and amassed a whopping 440 saves. But this season, his first with Baltimore, the right-hander has a 5.33 ERA with six blown saves.

The last of his 23 saves with the Orioles came on July 7. Not long after that, following several poor performances, Kimbrel desperately tried to regain the form that enabled him to pitch in the back end of the bullpen since breaking into the big leagues in 2010 with Atlanta.

It never happened.

“Tough day,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “We have so much respect for Craig and his career. It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone who’s done a lot.”

The Orioles have lost eight of 11 games to fall four back of the New York Yankees for first place in the AL East. In a corresponding roster move, they recalled right-hander Bryan Baker from Triple-A Norfolk.

Orioles general manager Mike Elias signed Kimbrel to a $13 million contract in December to fill the void left by Félix Bautista, who had 48 saves last year before going on the disabled list with an elbow injury. Bautista underwent Tommy John surgery, which kept him sidelined for the entire 2024 season.

Kimbrel’s 23 saves before the All-Star Game helped the defending AL East champions hit the break atop the division.

“Heck of a first half for us. Helped us win a ton of games,” Hyde said.

Kimbrel’s decline began with a blown save on July 14 against the Yankees. He got the win in that game despite allowing three runs in the ninth inning.

“The game here against New York, that was a struggle, and he never got rolling after that,” Hyde said.

Kimbrel blew a save on July 25 in Miami and took a loss the following day against San Diego. At that point, Hyde began using Kimbrel in no-pressure situations in the hope that the 36-year-old would regain the form that landed him in fifth place on the career saves list.

“I tried to give him low-leverage spots, and it seemed like when there were runners on base he had a tough time not allowing that run to score,” Hyde said.

Hyde knew of Kimbrel’s sensational past, but there were only a few glimpses of that pitcher recently.

“He’s a Hall of Famer to me,” Hyde said. “Craig has done some amazing things in his career. To be able to pitch in the innings he’s pitched, for that long with that type of pressure, there are only a handful of guys who have been able to do that.”

Seranthony Domínguez, obtained in a July trade with the Phillies, has taken over the closer’s role for Baltimore.

“When we got him in the trade, it wasn’t like the next day we were saying Seranthony is going to be the closer now,” Hyde said. “It was more of need at that point because Craig was struggling a little bit.”

Baltimore County Police officers testify they wanted to help. Then David Linthicum opened fire.

Linthicum, 26, of cockeysville, is standing trial in the shootings of baltimore county police officer barry jordan and detective jonathan chih in 2023..

Baltimore County Police Officer David Allen volunteered to respond to the call about a man with a gun who was threatening to kill himself.

Allen said he immediately starting driving to a home on Powers Avenue above Sherwood Road in Cockeysville Feb. 8, 2023. Two people were standing on the driveway, he said, and one of them darted back inside the house.

Allen arrived right after Officer April Burton. They spoke with the man’s father, John, or Whit, who relayed that his son had a gun in the car and possibly a rifle in the basement. By that time, Officer Barry Jordan had joined them.

Next, Allen walked over to a 2007 Ford Mustang, found two guns inside a backpack in the vehicle and made sure the doors were locked. He then caught up with the other officers, who had followed the man’s father into the basement.

The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors. Become one.

When Allen reached the bottom of the stairs, he testified, there was a “barrage of gunfire.” He said he was “terrified,” and, after a second volley of shots, “even more terrified.”

“It just felt like the stairs were vibrating around me. It was loud,” Allen testified on Wednesday. “We proceeded to get the heck out of there.”

Outside the home, Jordan thought he had just been hit with shrapnel but later realized that he was more seriously wounded. Allen ordered him to get into the back of a patrol vehicle and took off, hightailing it to an ambulance that had parked down the street at a staging area.

Allen was one of two officers who responded to that call to testify against the gunman, David Linthicum, as he stands trial in Baltimore County Circuit Court on five counts of attempted first-degree murder and related offenses. The jury also watched video from their body cameras of the shooting.

Linthicum, who turned 26 on Wednesday, is also on trial in the shooting of Detective Jonathan Chih, which happened on Feb. 9, 2023.

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 10, 2023, arrested Linthicum after a standoff.

Deborah Katz Levi and James Dills, Linthicum’s attorneys, argue that their client was experiencing a mental health crisis and contend that police mishandled the response.

Levi is director of special litigation for the Maryland Office of the Public Defender in Baltimore. Dills is district public defender for Baltimore County.

On cross-examination, Allen testified that he had never experienced something like the shooting while responding to a call.

Police, he said, would not approach if they knew a person was armed with a long gun. But Allen said officers respond all the time to homes where there are guns.

“You never saw Mr. Linthicum?” Levi asked.

“No,” Allen replied.

Later, Burton testified that police went to the home to help. She said she wanted to talk to Linthicum and build rapport with him.

At first, Burton knocked on the door to the basement.

“David. It’s Officer Arnett,” said Burton, who at the time had a different last name, on body camera video. “Can I talk to you?”

He did not respond.

Police then followed his father down the stairs into the basement. Burton said she also could not see into the bedroom.

“Then,” she testified, “he opened fire.”

As she ran up the stairs, Burton said she was hit with debris. Burton said she thought, “I’m going to get hit.”

In body camera video played on cross-examination, Burton remarked, “It’s like we agitated the situation.”

But Burton later testified that she meant that she had always been able to de-escalate situations. Police, she said, are there to protect life and property.

She said she would not have done anything different.

“We were there to help,” Burton testified. “And he didn’t want it.”
