The Orioles have been killing it at the plate in this series scoring 30 runs over the three games. They runs may be harder to come by tonight when the Athletics send out Sonny Gray who brings a road record of 8-1 with a 1.64 ERA to the mound. Gray has been razor sharp in his last three starts overall with two complete games allowing a combined two runs over 25 innings. Chris Tillman gets the ball for the home side and while he is coming off a poor outing in Seattle he did hold the opposition to two or less runs in the previous six outings. He has owned the Orioles in his career getting the Q start in all four of his lifetime starts.
