The Orioles will take the field at Kauffman Stadium looking to clinch their second series victory over the Royals this month. Baltimore dropped the first game before holding on for dear life last night.
Baltimore used six relievers yesterday, and the bullpen will likely have its hands full again with Cole Irvin set to take the mound. Irvin has yet to record an out in the sixth inning this season.
The Birds will likely need to have another productive day at the plate, and they have the lineup to do it. Ryan O’Hearn returns to the lineup against right-hander Seth Lugo.
