Think fast! The Orioles are opening their three-game series against the Cubs with an afternoon game on a Friday, a rarity for the O’s if not for Wrigley Field. All three games of this series will be day games, giving the O’s four in a row after an afternoon contest wrapped up the Birds’ homestand yesterday. The Birds have a winning record in day games this year, albeit just four games over .500 (16-12), as opposed to 14 games over .500 in night games.
With a win today, the Orioles would move to 19 games over .
