So, if we didn’t know it before Tuesday night’s Bad News Bears play, we know it now: the Mets are clearly a team with flaws. But is that enough to give confidence in Cole Irvin, thrust into a spot start, against this lineup?
The O’s and Mets have split the first two games of the series, losing another shaky Trevor Rogers start but getting a solid outing on Tuesday from Dean Kremer. Today was supposed to be Zach Eflin’s fifth start as an Oriole, but instead, he’s landed on the 15-day IL with shoulder inflammation.
