The Orioles have played the Twins four times so far this year and have lost all four games, including a sweep at Camden Yards last weekend and a series opening loss last night. In those four games, the Birds have been outscored 32-16.
Dan Straily will take the bump today trying to change that luck. After a couple abbreviated starts to begin his Orioles career, Straily has a 3.60 ERA in his two most recent starts covering 10 innings pitched, which includes a .211 BAA. But in his most recent start, Straily allowed three home runs in five innings.
