Brad Bergesen lost his arbitration hearing against the Orioles and was awarded an $800,000 salary for 2012.
Bergesen filed for a $1.2 million salary last month and stated his case during an arbitration hearing on Wednesday, but the three-person panel of arbitrators ultimately ruled in the team's favor. The 26-year-old right-hander was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter after posting a 5.70 ERA over 101 innings last season.
