The O's look to salvage the final game of this three game series versus the Tampa Bay Rays today as Brad Bergesen takes the mound against the Rays' David Price.
Bergesen started the Orioles' home opener on Friday and went 4.2 innings allowing 5 Earned Runs on 8 hits against the Blue Jays. He also walked 1 and struck out 2 batters. In 1 start against the Rays last year, Bergesen was 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA. In an interesting note, Bergesen's career record is 7-5. At Camden Yards he is 7-1, while on the road Bergesen is 0-4.
David Price picked up the win in his first start of the season Friday against the Yankees as he pitched 7.2 innings only allowing 3 Earned Runs on 7 hits. He was 2-0 against the Orioles last year with a 3.75 ERA.
For the second straight day, Manager Dave Trembley is shuffling the lineup around to get things going, as well as give some people the day off. Here is how the Orioles will matchup vs. David Price, and how they have fared against Price:
1. Adam Jones CF (2 for 6, 1 RBI)
2. Ty Wigginton 2B (1 for 5)
3. Nick Markakis RF (2 for 8)
4. Miguel Tejada 3B (Never faced Price)
5. Nolan Reimold LF (2 for 6, 1 RBI)
6. Luke Scott DH (1 for 7, 1 RBI)
7. Garrett Atkins 1B (o for 3)
8. Craig Tatum C (Never faced Price)
9. Cesar Izturis SS (1 for 7)
Ty Wigginton earned himself some at-bats last night with his 2 HRs, and so it is good to see him in the lineup again today. Craig Tatum will make his first start in an Orioles' uniform today, giving Matt Wieters his first day off since Spring Training. I'm surprised it took this long.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the O's can put it all together today and snap this losing streak. Look for updates during the game.
Go O's!
