Not many expected the Orioles to jump out to a 5-3 start this season. Even fewer expected Baltimore to drop four games in three days against a makeshift Marlins squad. I guess that’s why they play the games.

Rio Ruiz is back in the lineup after nursing a sore shoulder the last few days. José Iglesias is back at short, and Pedro Severino will be behind the plate.
