Tonight, they kick off a three-game series with the 15-20 Minnesota Twins. As Andrea wrote in her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camdenchat.com\/2025\/5\/6\/24424696\/orioles-twins-probable-pitchers-series-preview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">series preview<\/a>. the Twins have also been struggling. Maybe that will make for an evenly matched series? We shall see. <\/p>\n<p id=\"IIQJXo\">They\u2019ve got their best bats at the top of the lineup with Bryon Buxton, Ryan Jeffers, and Ty France. Jeffers has an OPS of .796, best on the team among active players. Cleanup batter and star Carlos Correa is mired in a season-long slump. He has a hitting line of .216\/.256\/.304. He\u2019s Ryan Mountcastle. <\/p>\n<p id=\"81qQMO\">Overall, the Twins send six righties, two switch hitters, and one lefty out against lefty Cade Povich. Povich is coming off a 4.2-inning, three-run effort against the Yankees. <\/p>\n<p id=\"C0byTz\">The Orioles will have the tough task of facing Pablo L\u00f3pez, who has an impressive 2.25 ERA and a 1.000 WHIP in five starts. But at least he\u2019s not a lefty. If I had the choice, I\u2019d bunch together Gunnar Henderson, Ryan O\u2019Hearn, and Jackson Holliday in the lineup. Holliday is on an island amid bad hitters with Ryan Mountcastle ahead of him and Heston Kjerstad, Coby Mayo, and Dylan Carlson behind. <\/p>\n<p id=\"FMXxtF\">Orioles lineup<\/p>\n<p>Cedric Mullins (L) CF<br \/>\nGunnar Henderson (L) SS<br \/>\nAdley Rutschman (S) C<br \/>\nRyan O\u2019Hearn (L) DH<br \/>\nRyan Mountcastle (R) 1B<br \/>\nJackson Holliday (L) 2B<br \/>\nHeston Kjerstad (L) RF<br \/>\nCoby Mayo (R) 3B<br \/>\nDylan Carlson (S) LF<\/p>\n<p id=\"VoFM9q\">SP: LHP Cade Povich<\/p>\n<p id=\"0TlqdN\">Twins lineup<\/p>\n<p>Byron Buxton (R) CF<br \/>\nRyan Jeffers (R) C<br \/>\nTy France (R) 1B<br \/>\nCarlos Correa (R) SS<br \/>\nRoyce Lewis (R) DH<br \/>\nBrooks Lee (S) 2B<br \/>\nJonah Bride (R) 3B<br \/>\nTrevor Larnach (L) RF<br \/>\nWilli Castro (S) LF<\/p>\n<p id=\"Lli65P\">SP: RHP Pablo L\u00f3pez<\/p>\n<p id=\"giDfh3\">Let\u2019s go O\u2019s!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Orioles had yesterday off after two disappointing losses to the Royals to finish the homestand.
