A two-game series against the Marlins in Miami concludes today. It’s a prime opportunity for the Birds to earn a mini-series sweep against a team with a record (7-9) very close to their own (8-9). The O’s have been road warriors in April with a 7-3 record as the away team. They are only 1-6 at home.
Baltimore’s own Bruce Zimmermann will be making his fourth start of the season and brings a 4.24 ERA into this afternoon’s matchup. In his most recent start, the lefty took a hard-luck loss after giving up two runs in five innings against the Mariners.
