The Orioles begin a four-game series at Tropicana Field in an unfamiliar position: on a losing skid. The Birds dropped the last two games of their series in Toronto, marking just the Orioles’ fifth losing streak or two or more games this season. They’ve never lost more than three in a row.
There’s no time like the present to get back to their winning ways. The Birds will send all four of their best starting pitchers to the mound in this series, starting with Cole Irvin tonight, followed by Kyle Bradish, Grayson Rodriguez, and Corbin Burnes. Irvin has been the best of the non-Burnes lot, just as everyone predicted.
