Baltimore Orioles vs. Boston Red Sox preview
The Red Sox enter Tuesday night clinging to the top wild card spot in a tight AL playoff race, sitting four games clear of Kansas City but needing every win they can get down the stretch.
Baltimore's season may be lost at 60-70, but they're not rolling over - the Orioles just snapped a three-game skid with a gutsy 3-2 win over Houston behind Trevor Rogers' seven strong innings.
Lucas Giolito takes the mound for Boston looking to bounce back after allowing three runs to these same Yankees in his last outing, though the Red Sox still managed to win that game 6-3.
The wildcard here is Kyle Bradish making his first big league start in over a year for Baltimore after working his way back through the minors following injury.
Boston's offense has been clicking all season, ranking fourth in MLB with nearly five runs per game, while Baltimore has shown some pop at home despite their struggles.
The Orioles may be out of contention, but they've got nothing to lose and everything to prove with a pitcher desperate to show he belongs back in the majors.
