Orioles RHP Kyle Bradish will start ALDS opener vs. Rangers

Breakout right-hander Kyle Bradish will start Game 1 of the American League Division Series when the Baltimore Orioles host the Texas Rangers on Saturday.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde also announced that right-hander Grayson Rodriguez will start Sunday's Game 2.

It will be the first postseason start for both hurlers.

Bradish, 27, went 12-7 with a 2.83 ERA in 30 starts during his second major league season. His ERA is the lowest by a Baltimore qualifying starter since Mike Mussina (2.54) in 1992.

"He's pitched in some meaningful games down the stretch and pitched extremely well," Hyde said Friday.
