The Cleveland Indians (38-36) and Baltimore Orioles (42-34) will begin their series at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in a Monday night matchup set for 7:05 p.m. ET. The game will stream live on MLB.com with a paid subscription.
Baltimore is on the wrong end of a three-game losing streak and will look to capitalize as they open a four-game homestand with the Indians. The Orioles suffered a three-game sweep at home to the Toronto Blue Jays including a 13-5 loss Sunday.
"We ran into a good team and came up short," said second baseman Ryan Flaherty, who had his first career two-homer game and has three home runs in his last three contests.
The Indians have bounced back from an eight-game losing streak to take seven of their last ten games. However, the team saw their four-game streak end with a 5-3 loss to the Twins on Sunday.
Ubaldo Jimenez (5-4) will get the start for the Indians. Jiminez is 3-1 in road appearances and has a 2.77 in seven starts away from Cleveland. However, in his past three starts he hasn't made it passed the sixth inning and has walked 11 batters faced.
Jimenez has a 5-2 record in his last 10 appearances with a 3.04 ERA. In his last start, Jimenez went 5 2/3 innings and allowed two runs, two hits and four walks before exiting the game in a no decision win over Kansas City on Tuesday.
The Orioles will start Zach Britton (1-1). Britton currently owns a 5.56 ERA and is coming off an impressive performance on Tuesday in which he outdueled former Cy Young winner Justin Verlander.
Britton went 5 1/3 innings in a 5-2 win over Detroit on Tuesday. He has made two career starts against Cleveland and holds a 1-1 record against the Tribe.
