Everything is pleasant for the Baltimore Orioles at the moment despite their last place in the American League East.
They have been in a good groove for more than a week, largely due to exciting finishes – including four victories again in the last five games.
Baltimore will scan three games from the central Pittsburgh Pirates, the National League, to conclude a Homeshredi afternoon.
“It is the most fun I have ever had to play the ball,” said Baltimore recruit, Dylan Beavers. “So continue. Winning is fun.”
The Orioles (68-77) won in 11 innings and 10 rounds in the first two games in the series, with the 2-1 Wednesday result sealed by the end of the Beavers.
The pirates (64-82) have lost five consecutive games since a scanning of the Los Angeles dodgers. Pittsburgh had two longer defeats this year, both before the stars break.
The Beavers played in 20 major leagues games since the Orioles were called last month. He has experienced a good share of critical game situations.
“I try to control my breath, and I have the impression that it is the key to me,” said Beavers, who strikes. 305. “No matter what I think, if I breathe and my heart rate is declining, I can go out and play.”
This is what the acting director of the Orioles, Tony Mansolino, likes to see the program from top to bottom while the new arrivals adapt to this level. Although there is not the pressure of a pennant race, there are opportunities to progress.
“Our guys are hung in there,” said Mansolino. “They are fighting, they are playing defense, they are taking care of the ball right now, keeping us in the game, obtaining the big blow when we need it.”
The pirate manager, Don Kelly, hopes that the Central Oneil Cruz player will be able to set up a strong finish section. Cruz strikes .130 (3 for 23) this month without Home Run. He has 19 circuits this season.
“This is what I want to see, the freedom and the joy of competing,” said Kelly. “When you get through these difficulties, it’s difficult. These guys, they feel it every day.
Baltimore will turn to Cade Povich (3-7, 5.16 ERA) as his launcher leaving Thursday. The left-hander will seek to incur victories in consecutive departures for the first time after defeating the San Diego Padres 7-5 on September 3. He had a bleaching in five rounds, but was accused of four points without recording a withdrawal in the sixth.
This result was the first time that the Orioles have won in one of the departures of Povich since June 15. He will face the pirates for the first time.
Baltimore pitching should be in good shape in terms of availability despite additional consecutive games. The beginners of the Orioles entered the seventh round in the two games of this series.
The right-hander of the Pirates Johan Oviedo (2-0, 2.70) is planned for its sixth start to the season after missing all last year after Tommy John surgery. He launched five innings in each of his last two departures, granting only one undertaken point and a safe blow on Friday in a decision without a decision against the Brewers of Milwaukee.
Oviedo only made one appearance against Orioles in his career, when he granted a race in five rounds and more to a non-term on May 12, 2023.
