The Orioles are facing a left-hander today, the Angels\u2019 Tyler Anderson, which again puts them at a statistical disadvantage.<\/p>\n
The team is hitting .178\/.257\/.245 against lefties this season.<\/p>\n
Manager Brandon Hyde lowered Cedric Mullins to eighth and is batting Gunnar Henderson leadoff.<\/p>\n
Mullins moved down to sixth in the order last night and went 0-for-4 to increase his slump to one hit in his last 34 at-bats. He\u2019s 0-for-19.<\/p>\n
Mullins still needs one RBI for 300 in his career. Henderson needs one for 200.<\/p>\n
Jackson Holliday is batting sixth. He\u2019s 9-for-25 (.360) this month with a double, two home runs and 1.069 OPS, and he\u2019s 16-for-45 (.355) beginning April 23.<\/p>\n
Holliday posted a .185 average against fastballs earlier this season but is hitting .500 in his last 16 games.<\/p>\n
Tyler O\u2019Neill is playing right field and batting second, Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter and cleanup hitter, and Ram\u00f3n Laureano is in left field and batting fifth.<\/p>\n
The Orioles are the best team in the majors when ahead in the count with a .369 average, but they\u2019re hitting .167 when behind to rank 27th, per STATS.<\/p>\n
Zach Eflin was reinstated from the injured list and makes his first start today since April 7 in Arizona, as the Orioles close out their road trip and try for their second win in six games.<\/p>\n
Eflin has a career 2.37 ERA in five starts against the Angels, but he’s allowed six runs and 13 hits in 11 innings in two starts in Anaheim.<\/p>\n
Travis d\u2019Arnaud is 7-for-22 with three home runs lifetime against Eflin. Taylor Ward is 4-for-9. Logan O\u2019Hoppe is 0-for-8 with five strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Reliever Colin Selby was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after tossing 1 2\/3 scoreless innings last night in a 5-2 loss.<\/p>\n
Left-hander Trevor Rogers returned from his rehab assignment, was reinstated from the injured list and optioned to Norfolk.<\/p>\n
Anderson has registered a 2.68 ERA and 1.041 WHIP in seven starts. He\u2019s allowed 27 hits in 40 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Right-handers are batting .249 with a .733 OPS against Anderson in his career and left-handers are batting .257 with a .765 OPS. This season, right-handers are hitting .155\/.239\/.259 and left-handers are hitting .290\/.353\/.774.<\/p>\n
Anderson has made two career starts against the Orioles and allowed five runs and 10 hits in 10 innings. Henderson is 3-for-4 with a double and home run. Tyler O\u2019Neill is 3-for-5 with two homers.<\/p>\n
Emmanuel Rivera, who singled again last night, is 2-for-11. He’s at third base again today.<\/p>\n
