The Orioles haven’t had an easy time of it in their first two games against the White Sox, but two wins are two wins. Another victory at Guaranteed Rate Field today would mean a guaranteed series win in the four-game set.
The Birds’ rotation plans were thrown into flux when today’s originally scheduled starter, Dean Kremer, was placed on the 15-day injured list yesterday with a right triceps strain, just after John Means also landed on the IL with what sounds like a serious elbow injury. Means’s departure opened a rotation spot back up for Cole Irvin, and now with Kremer on the shelf, Albert Suárez too will get another crack at starting today.
