The Orioles (75-81) open a 3-game home series Monday night against the Toronto Blue Jays (77-79) at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, dropping into the matchup having lost three straight.
Baltimore fell to Milwaukee 3-0 on Sunday, though Brandon Young gave the offense a chance, throwing 6.0 innings and striking out nine while allowing two earned runs. Colton Cowser went 2-for-4 at the plate, providing one of the few offensive bright spots in a shutout loss. Cam Sanders and Grant Wolfram each worked clean innings out of the bullpen, with Sanders adding two strikeouts in one frame.
Toronto enters with a 77-79 record and has gone 4-10 over their last ten, giving Baltimore an opportunity against a Blue Jays club that has struggled to generate consistent momentum late in the season. RHP Trey Yesavage (5-5, 3.65 ERA) gets the ball for Toronto. Shane Baz (6-15, 4.11 ERA) takes the mound for Baltimore. At 5.0 games back of the final AL wild-card spot, the Orioles have almost no margin remaining, and a win Monday would at least keep them within reach as the regular season winds toward its final weeks.
