Orioles Designate Jeremy Accardo

The Orioles have run out of patience with reliever Jeremy Accardo, opting to designate the right-hander for assignment Saturday.
Accardo was the losing pitcher in Friday night's game against the Nationals. He was 3-3 with a 5.29 ERA in 25 appearances this season.
"His numbers were, going into last night, a little better than he actually pitched," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
"We keep a thing about balls given up that are hard hit and he wasn't doing too well in that category."
Baltimore also optioned infielder Ryan Adams to Triple-A Norfolk, recalled right-hander Brad Bergesen from Norfolk and purchased the contract of infielder Blake Davis.
