The Orioles dropped two of three in San Diego, but a day off and a date with Oakland should provide the club a boost. Baltimore will look to take care of business in the first of three against the last place A’s.
Kyle Gibson will look to return to form after allowing nine runs his last time out. Gibson had worked at least six innings in four consecutive starts before taking a beating from Seattle. The bullpen is fresh, and the O’s would love to keep it that way if Gibson can bring his A-game.
The Orioles could use a spark at the plate after tallying only 17 runs in their last six games out west.
