Good Morning, Birdland,
This may not be the same fearsome Rangers lineup that romped its way to a World Series win last season, but it is still a talented group. Though you wouldn’t know it through the first two games of this series in which the Orioles’ pitching staff has allowed three total runs over 18 innings.
Albert Suárez rediscovered his early-season form on Friday night as a he twirled six shutout frames, pitching to contact and avoiding free passes. It was a smart approach against these Rangers, who have been under-performing all season long.
