Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: @ Twins, 3:05 pm
For most teams in baseball in most years, game 162 has zero implications for the full baseball season. This is true for the Orioles today, but for a good reason. They have clinched their place in the postseason and will host either the Royals or Tigers in the Wild Card round starting on Tuesday.
Today will be a day to give players some rest if they need it, a tune up if they need it, and hope that no one gets hurt. Unlike yesterday, the lineup today is pretty close to what it will be during the postseason. But there is no accounting for how long those starters will stay in.
