But the first game of that twin bill went so poorly for the Birds \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camdenchat.com\/2025\/5\/23\/24436030\/orioles-red-sox-game-1-recap\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a 19-5 travesty<\/a> \u2014 that the Red Sox canceled the nightcap out of pity. Or because it was raining, either way.<\/p>\n<p id=\"jsyo21\">They\u2019ll again try to play a split doubleheader today, with the games scheduled for 1:35 and 6:35. The Orioles at least have Zach Eflin on the mound for the opener, so their chances are good of allowing less than 19 runs this time. That doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ll win, of course. They probably won\u2019t. The Birds haven\u2019t announced a starter for the second game yet; it might depend on how used up the bullpen gets in the opener.<\/p>\n<p id=\"nK0SVj\">The Orioles recalled Trevor Rogers as their 27th man for the doubleheader, so he could start the second game if he\u2019s not used in the first. Rogers, who had a 7.11 ERA in four starts for the Birds last year, is currently posting an 8.10 mark in four starts at Triple-A Norfolk this year. The pitching depth in this organization is nonexistent, friends. Right-handers Hunter Dobbins and Lucas Giolito will start the two games for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZQJUrC\">The O\u2019s suffered some more bad injury news when they placed Ram\u00f3n Laureano, one of their few decent hitters, on the 10-day IL with a left ankle sprain earlier in the day. Laureano hurt his ankle during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brewcrewball.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brewers<\/a> series and was considered to be day-to-day, but apparently that was an overly optimistic timeline. The assignment is backdated to May 21 but he\u2019ll still be out for at least another week, further weakening an already terrible O\u2019s lineup. Terrin Vavra, who last played for the Orioles two years ago, was called up to replace him, because apparently the Orioles\u2019 position player depth is nonexistent, too.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZJrwOa\">GAME 2 LINEUPS:<\/p>\n<p id=\"wO61cx\">Orioles<\/p>\n<p id=\"IQephC\">SS Gunnar Henderson<br \/>DH Adley Rutschman<br \/>1B Ryan O\u2019Hearn<br \/>2B Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas<br \/>3B Emmanuel Rivera<br \/>LF Heston Kjerstad<br \/>CF Jorge Mateo<br \/>RF Dylan Carlson<br \/>C Maverick Handley<\/p>\n<p id=\"GN5gum\">LHP Trevor Rogers<\/p>\n<p id=\"tBQnyF\">Red Sox<\/p>\n<p id=\"6gqETl\">LF Jarren Duran<br \/>DH Rafael Devers<br \/>RF Rob Refsnyder<br \/>2B Kristian Campbell<br \/>SS Trevor Story<br \/>3B Marcelo Mayer<br \/>1B Nick Sogard<br \/>C Connor Wong<br \/>CF Ceddanne Rafaela<\/p>\n<p id=\"JitVs9\">RHP Lucas Giolito<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Once again, Orioles fans, let\u2019s play two.
