Trevor Rogers will look to get back on track tonight against the Blue Jays. The Orioles received a quality start from Chris Bassitt yesterday, but the offense failed to carry its weight in a 2-1 loss. Baltimore will need to score more than two runs tonight if Rogers’ recent woes continue.
Adley Rutschman (DH) and Samuel Basallo (C) will both be in the lineup this evening against left-handed pitcher Adam Macko. Colton Cowser, Leody Taveras and Taylor Ward will handle the outfield duties. Coby Mayo
will play third base, Gunnar Henderson will take short, Jackson Holliday will handle second and Pete Alonso will begin the game at first.
Albert Suárez should be available after rejoining the roster on a major league deal. Yennier Cano was testing his hamstring on the field earlier today. The team optioned Cameron Weston back to Norfolk and transferred Dean Kremer to the 60-day IL before tonight’s contest.
Baltimore carried some significant momentum into the series but suffered a setback last night. Can Rogers and the Orioles rediscover the good vibes this evening at Camden Yards?
Orioles lineup:
- Taylor Ward (R) LF
- Gunnar Henderson (L) SS
- Adley Rutschman (S) DH
- Pete Alonso (R) 1B
- Samuel Basallo (L) C
- Leody Taveras (S) CF
- Colton Cowser (L) RF
- Coby Mayo (R) 3B
- Jackson Holliday (L) 2B
