After tossing just 6 innings in 4 games in2002, his first official year, DuBose looked to be a career minor leaguer for good. However, when theBaltimore Orioles needed a spotstarter for a game against theRoyals in May2003, they recalled DuBose from Triple-AOttawa and he did not disappoint, tossing 6 innings of 3-hit, 2-run ball. DuBose spent most of 2003 in thebullpen, though he was made a full-time starter in September. DuBose finished '03 with a 3–6 record and 3.79 ERA in 17 games.
Unfortunately for the Orioles' organization, DuBose took a step back as a full-time starter in2004, compiling a 6.39 ERA in 14 games while allowing 12home runs. In2005 the struggles continued – DuBose was ineffective in 15 games,walking more batters than hestruck out. After signing a minor league contract with theColorado Rockies before the start of the2007 season, DuBose was released on May 15, 2007.
