For the first time in a while, the Orioles can be feeling good about things.
After a 14-game losing streak that became their longest skid in over 30 years and invited comparisons to the infamous 1988 season, Baltimore righted the ship with a series win against the Minnesota Twins.
Now they get a chance to build on that momentum. Baltimore gets its first series with the Cleveland Indians started tonight, with Keegan Akin getting the ball for the O's. Akin is making his second start, and is 0-0 with a 4.80 ERA.
Jean Carlos Mejia makes his first start for Cleveland, having made three scoreless relief appearances.
