Clark began the 2013 season with Norfolk.[5] On May 1,2013,Clark was called up to the Orioles,where he was expected to be a part of the bullpen.[6] Clark made his major league debut that same night against the Seattle Mariners,coming on in relief of Wei-Yin Chen in the bottom of the 5th inning.[7] He went 1+2⁄3 innings in his debut, allowing three hits and three earned runs. Clark was designated for assignment on May 4, 2013.[2] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Bowie on May 6, where he began developing a knuckleball.[8] Clark experienced a hamstring injury, and struggled for the remainder of the season. Clark became a free agent at the end of the season, and re-signed with the Orioles on a new minor league contract.[9]
The Orioles did not assign Clark to a minor league affiliate at the start of the 2014 season, as he worked on his knuckleball in extended spring training. In June, the Orioles opted not to assign Clark to the Aberdeen Ironbirds of the Low-ANew York–Penn League, and instead released him.
