Going for the series win today. You know what that means Orioles....
After winning the opener with a bullpen game, the Toronto Blue Jays will start right-hander Jose Berrios for the middle game of their series against the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Saturday afternoon.
While they fell six games behind the Blue Jays, who sit in the top wild-card position, they remain 4 1/2 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays (80-64), who hold the third and final wild-card spot.
The Orioles and Blue Jays are even at 7-7 in their season series that has five games remaining, including a three-game set that ends the season Oct. 3-5 in Baltimore.
Berrios (10-5, 5.07 ERA) is a stellar 7-0 with a 3.05 ERA in 10 career starts against Baltimore. He is 1-0 with a 3.46 ERA in two starts vs. the Orioles this year. The win came on Sept. 5, when he tossed six-plus innings and gave up three runs, two earned.
The Orioles will start right-hander Kyle Bradish (3-6, 5.01 ERA), who is 0-1 with a 7.27 ERA in his four starts against the Blue Jays, all this season.
