BALTIMORE -- What's known going into Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles is that Chris Archer has been tabbed to start the first game. The plan is for left-hander Anthony Banda to pitch at some point on Saturday as well.
Archer is starting the first game primarily because of his extended pregame warmup prior to each start. There will only be 40 minutes between the first and second games on Saturday.
"The younger guy coming up, it won't take him quite as long to warm up," Archer said.
