Spenser Watkins is the latest starting pitcher with the chance to be a hero and end the Orioles dreaded losing streak. He’s on the mound tonight for the first of three games against the Angels.
After bursting onto the scene in Baltimore with a 1.76 ERA in his first three major league starts, Watkins has been trending downward. In his past five starts, the right-hander has an 8.37 ERA and .337 BAA. But tonight is as good a night as ever to turn things around.
Guess what? There’s a familiar face on the mound for the opposing team.
