Can the Orioles Crush the Twins’ Streak and Rewrite the Season’s Storyline?
The Orioles are one of the surprise teams of the season, and not in a good way. After battling for the division the past two years, the team seems to have not only forgotten how to hit, but forgotten how to pitch as well. Baltimore comes into this game 11 games under .500 with a 15-26 record overall. That’s a tough look for a team that was widely considered to be one with one of the brightest futures. For the season, the team is hitting just .227 and they have a team ERA of 5.37. Both of those numbers are among the worst in the league. It is possible for them to turn it around, but this is ugly. The good news, for them, is that they have Tomoyuki Sugano on the hill today. He’s 4-2 with a 2.72 ERA, and a 1.01 WHIP. One of the few bright spots in this Orioles rotation and a guy that is giving them a chance to win pretty much every time he takes the mound. He has never faced the Twins.
