BALTIMORE- About an hour away from tonight's first pitch between the Tigers (48-47) and Orioles (45-49) here on a hot and humid evening at Camden Yards.
Baltimore is looking to bounce back from last night's 6-5 loss to Detroit that dropped the O's four games below .500 for the first time all season. The Orioles have now lost nine of 11 and they've fallen further in the American League East basement, now 1.5 games back of fourth place Toronto. The Orioles have lost nine straight one-run games. Manager Dave Trembley held a closed-door team meeting prior to O's batting practice today.
The Tigers meanwhile are back above .500 despite a disastrous 0-7 start to the season. Detroit has been trying to creep its way back in the AL Central race where they now sit 6.5 games back of first-place Chicago.
The Orioles send Jeremy Guthrie to the hill (5-7, 3.49 ERA) while Detroit counters with rookie Armando Galaraga (7-3, 3.27 ERA)
Starting Lineups:
