Baltimore bounced back from a brutal four-game sweep in New York over the weekend, and the O’s will look to take another step in the right direction with Brandon Young on the mound tonight.
Young impressed in his first two outings before hitting a wall last week against Houston. The 27-year-old will look to perform closer to the five shutout innings he delivered last month against Chicago. Young will need his defense to deliver against a Miami team capable of taking the extra base.
Gunnar Henderson will take his usual spot at shortstop with Coby Mayo playing to his right. Jeremiah Jackson (second) and Pete Alonso (first) will round out the infield. Adley Rutschman will catch Young, and Samuel Basallo will serve as the designated hitter.
Taylor Ward, Leody Taveras and Dylan Beavers will handle the outfield duties from left to right. The Orioles will face right-handed pitcher Eury Pérez. Pérez holds a 2-3 record with a 4.
