Zach Britton will be called up to start Tuesday's game in Detroit as the corresponding roster move. 

The one-time ace of the Baltimore staff, who has displayed lightning stuff at times through his career but has been unable to harness his command, took the loss to fall to 1-2 with a 7.23 ERA on the year.

Arrieta gave up five earned runs on 10 hits and a walk over 4 2/3 innings. He had some positive moments, but was all too often near the middle of the plate against the dangerous Tigers hitters. It started in the first inning with Miguel Cabrera's two-run homer.

Arrieta threw 82 pitches and struck out three batters. He was given the opportunity to start with Jason Hammel ill, but he has given up 10 runs over his last two starts in the majors spanning 8 2/3 innings.

It is likely that Arrieta has seen the last of a major league mound as a starter for at least a while. Unless Baltimore has another desperate need, he's not expected to get another start. Arrieta could be optioned to the minors or remain with the club in the bullpen.

Arrieta, who was recalled and placed in the bullpen last week, has a 6.63 ERA over 19 innings this season for Baltimore. Arrieta is 3-3 over seven games and six starts with Triple-A Norfolk, including a 5.50 ERA with 23 Ks in 36 innings. 

Arrieta was unable to straighten things out in Triple-A, posting a 5.50 ERA in six starts. He was demoted by the Orioles earlier in the year for posting a 6.63 ERA in the majors. He will likely pitch out of the team's bullpen for the time being. 

"Arrieta maybe needs to be out of there," the scout said. "Maybe he could do something someplace else. I don't know what the deal is with him, but it's certainly not working. With his stuff ... he reminds me a lot of Phil Hughes. He throws so many pitches right down the middle and he gives up a zillion home runs. He's got good stuff, but his fastball is pretty straight, like Arrieta, and he gets too much of the plate and gets hammered.

"The thing about pitching, and what he's got to learn about pitching, is that when you get in trouble, go softer, not harder. Arrieta goes harder. That's the one thing (Chris) Tillman has learned is to throttle down. He used to rear back and throw 10 fastballs as hard as he could. Now he softens up and goes the other way. It just works out better for you."
