Following three straight losses to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park over the weekend, the Baltimore Orioles travel out of the New England area and into Philadelphia to take on the Phillies in a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park to begin the week. The Orioles have lined up their ace, John Means, to take hold of the starting pitching duties to open the series Monday night.
While the Orioles will look to Means for a strong start like the 5.2 IP of two-run ball he worked through in his last outing against the New York Yankees, stopping the Phillies’ offense might be one of the toughest challenges in baseball as of late.
