Welcome to the Orioles’ last West Coast series of the season! That means only three more games of watery-eyed, falling-asleep-on-the-couch baseball. Hopefully the Orioles give you something worth watching if you’re bothering to stay up.
Not that this starter matchup exactly fills me with confidence. Cole Irvin was part of the rotation from April to June, but after a 6.00 ERA in June and a 9.00 mark out of the bullpen in July, the Orioles DFA’d him. He made it through waivers, ended back up in Norfolk and was called up against on August 21 when Zach Eflin went down with shoulder inflammation.
