For the second straight series, the Orioles will try to get in the way of a team looking to make a playoff push.
After facing the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game series, Baltimore will begin a four-game set with the Los Angeles Angels tonight. The Angels (54-49) have won four straight and began Thursday sitting four games behind the Athletics for the second wild card spot.
(For the record, Baltimore began the day 25 games out. Time for a hot August!)
The Orioles will look to get the series off to a good start behind the right arm of opener Jimmy Yacabonis, who’s 1-2 this season with a 6.
