It’s not the kind of matchup that necessarily fills you with confidence. The Orioles, mired in a serious offensive slump, travel to Arlington, Texas, to take on the Rangers, their hopes for a win pinned on a guy whose ERA is currently 11.42.
Only two players on the team are hitting above .250 (Cedric Mullins and DJ Stewart, who has just 15 at-bats), and the team as a whole is leading the majors in strikeouts. Some guys, like Trey Mancini, Anthony Santander, and Ryan Mountcastle will break out of their slumps… the question is when.
