The Nationals took game one and will look for a two-game mini-sweep by sending DJ Herz to the mound. He is 2-4, with a 4.41 ERA. The Orioles will look to salvage a win by handing the ball to Dean Kremer. He is 4-9, with a 4.70 ERA this season Washington's pitching staff has struggled recently, giving up four runs or more in six of their last eight contests. Baltimore has now lost two in a row and will be looking to turn things around. Herz has struggled on the road this year, posting an ERA closer to seven than six in three starts. The Orioles have won five of the last seven against the Nat’s. Yesterday’s output by the Nats was surprising as the Orioles has posted a 1.27 ERA and a WHIP under one against them this season. I expect Baltimre to bounce back in this one and secure a win.

Play on Baltimore. This free play.
