The Orioles just have to win today to avoid being swept, and the Red Sox are sending lefty Cy Young contender Chris Sale to the mound. Doesn’t look good for our guys. This is Sale’s first start after returning from the disabled list and Red Sox manager Alex Cora has indicated that he’ll be limited to 100 pitches today. He’ll still be able to pitch a complete game, I’m guessing.
I kind of thought we might see Chris Davis and/or Cedric Mullins get a rest today against Sale, but both are in the lineup.
