The Orioles will look to even the series tonight after avoiding being no-hit on Thursday. Gunnar Henderson will lead off and play shortstop with left fielder Taylor Ward batting second. Pete Alonso will bat third, and designated hitter Dylan Beavers will bat clean up.
Baltimore has struggled to fill the clean up spot with Adley Rutschman sidelined. Beavers, who has been under the weather of late, will get the nod against right-handed pitcher Tanner Bibee.
Samuel Basallo will catch and bat fifth after
just missing a game-tying single last night. Leody Taveras and Colton Cowser will complete the outfield with Taveras playing center. Coby Mayo will return to third base, and Jeremiah Jackson will round out the order at second.
Chris Bassitt will look to earn his first win in an Orioles uniform. Bassitt limited San Francisco to one run over 4.2 frames his last time out.
Bibee enters the game 0-2 with a 6.38 ERA.
