Grayson Rodriguez finally made his way back to the big leagues on Monday, and looked a lot better than he did before. Host Connor Newcomb breaks down Rodriguez's first start back with the Baltimore Orioles and discusses why this one was so encouraging.

But first, Connor recaps the Orioles 6-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers and gives you the five things you need to know from the game, including Bryan Baker's rough outing, Nick Vespi looking sharp again, and the first multi-hit game in a while from Ryan Mountcastle.

Finally, Connor runs through some Orioles news and notes, including Enrique Bradfield Jr. and Mac Horvath signing their contracts, and Cionel Pérez getting closer to returning.
