Matt Harvey gets the nod this afternoon in Oakland as the Orioles look to extend their two-game winning streak. You can check out Alex Church’s recap of last night’s 3-2 series-opening victory against the Athletics here.
Five starts into his Orioles career, Harvey is 2-1 with a 4.26 ERA, 3.27 FIP, 1.30 WHIP, and 3.50 SO/W. He earned the victory in his last start by throwing six innings of one-run ball against the Yankees.
This afternoon, the Athletics send 23-year-old left-hander Jesus Luzardo to the mound. Luzardo was originally a 2016 3rd round draft pick of the Nationals out of Stoneman-Douglas High School in Parkland, FL.
