LOL Park at Camden Yards | Baltimore, MD
Ryan Borucki (3-4, 4.26, 1.42) vs. E Phillips (0-0, 21.60, 3.00)
PREAMBLE:
After a series win (!) against the Yankees in their home park, the Blue Jays had an happy (and short) flight to Baltimore for a three game series. The last time the Jays were in town, they were embarrassed in a three-game sweep to the worst team in the bigs. Let's sweep 'em, mmkay?
Ryan Borucki takes the ball tonight and his opponent, Evan Phillips, is making his first major-league start for what sounds like a bullpen game.
NOTES:
Anthony Alford has been called up. Let's see how his audition for a starting spot next year goes.
This should make Zee Panza ACE delirious:

This perfectly captures how the oriLOLes season has gone - they can't see well enough to field or to hit the ball! C'mon! They walked right into that one...
