Pitching Match-Up
Baltimore: Andrew Cashner (1-1 2.50 ERA)
Detroit: Francisco Liriano (1-1 2.13 ERA)
In Cashner’s last start he looked great pitching seven scoreless innings versus the Jays but didn’t get any offensive help from his team who ended up losing 2-1. The quality start was his second straight after opening the season with a rough start at home against the Twins (5R 4ER in 5IP). Cashner’s only career start against the Tigers came in 2014 when he was with the San Diego Padres pitching a one-hitter in a complete game win.
In Liriano’s last start he gave up two earned runs over six innings with no help from the lineup in a 2-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians. Liriano has two starts against the Orioles over the last two seasons, and they have been sharp pitching a combined 13 innings allowing just two runs on 11 hits striking out 20!
