The O’s have a chance to split the series in Oakland with a win today. Baltimore lost the first two games on Monday and Tuesday before earning a hard fought 1-0 victory yesterday. Perhaps the Birds’ offense will awaken from its slumber this afternoon.
Reliever turned starting pitcher Tyler Wells is on the bump for the Orioles. After allowing four runs in 1.2 innings in his first start of the year, Wells bounced back with four scoreless against the Yankees recently. He’s got four walks in 5.2 innings pitched, so his control will be something to watch closely in this one.
