The Orioles will look to secure another series victory this afternoon in Sacramento. The Birds let a winnable game slip away on Friday before bouncing back with a 7-4 win last night. Baltimore must take advantage of matchups against losing teams if it hopes to shed the same label, so today feels like a must-win game for the 26-37 Orioles.
Tomoyuki Sugano (5-3, 3.04 ERA) will start for the O’s after tossing a seven-inning gem against Seattle last week. Adley Rutschman will form the battery with Sugano after serving as the DH last night.
Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson will sandwich Rutschman at the top of the order.
