He was acquired by the Baltimore Orioles on February 10, 1982 in a transaction that was completed five days later when the Reds received Wayne Krenchicki.[3][4] But he was quickly selected off waivers by the Pirates and he never appeared in a game for the Orioles. After posting a 4.37 earned run average, he was released by the Pirates on October 4, 1982.[5] He was picked up by the Chicago Cubs who released him near the end of the next season.
