Albert Suárez takes the mound as the Orioles look to avoid a sweep against the Padres.
Colton Cowser will leadoff and play left field as the Orioles look for a spark against the Padres. Anthony Santander will slide up to the two-hole with Gunnar Henderson batting third. Adley Rutschman will sit with James McCann at catcher and Ryan O’Hearn serving as the DH.
Is it the type of move that can lift Baltimore out of this funk? We’ll see. Nobody can blame Hyde for tinkering with the lineup. The Orioles have scored four runs or less in five of their last six games. They lost those five.
Ryan Mountcastle will play first base with Jordan Westburg taking third. Cedric Mullins will take center, and Connor Norby will play second base.
Albert Suárez will take the mound hoping for a rebound. He allowed six runs over only two innings his last time out against Miami.
The Orioles need a win today to avoid a sweep before a doubleheader against Toronto.
