Orioles closer now wearing Dodger blue.

It may not be the starting pitcher most people are eyeing today, however the Dodgers made an important move to keep up their bullpen strength by trading for Orioles closer George Sherrill, according to mlb.com.

The article notes that as part of the deal, the Dodgers sent minor league third baseman Josh Bell and pitcher Steve Johnson to the Orioles.

This should likely help the Dodgers, whose starting pitchers don’t generally stick around too late in games.
