The schedule does not get any easier as the Orioles welcome in the league-best Rays for a three-game set at Camden Yards. Even worse, it’s Shane McClanahan on the mound. The Baltimore-born southpaw has dominate the O’s during his career: 5-0, 2.45 ERA, 45 strikeouts, 40.1 innings. Yikes.
This won’t exactly be a soft landing for Kyle Gibson, who drew only one whiff in his most recent start. They are the top offense in baseball from just about every perspective. Hopefully the Camden Yards dimensions allow Gibson to tip toe around their prodigious power.
Adley Rutschman is back in the starting lineup after sitting to begin Sunday’s brunch game in Atlanta.
