The Tampa Bay Rays play the Baltimore Orioles on Friday in Game 1 of their series. The game starts at 1:05 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast below.
Baltimore (41-36) has won four of their last five games, including a 5-4 win on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman (3-1, 2.74 ERA) is scheduled to start the first game of Wednesday's double-header.
Gausman was sent to Triple-A Norfolk last week, but because of the double-header will rejoin the Orioles at Camden Yards. He's won three straight starts, including a 2-0 win on June 18 against Tampa Bay.
"Obviously, Kevin's pitching real well, and he'll continue to get that opportunity as long as he's pitching well," Orioles manager Buck Showalter told MLB.com, via the Associated Press. "I just wanted them to understand the potential that could happen if we used up our length out of the bullpen (Wednesday)."
Gausman will be opposed by Rays pitcher Alex Colome (0-0, 4.50), who's also being recalled from Triple-A to pitch the double-header. Wednesday will be Colome's first start in the pros, according to the Associated Press.
Rays pitcher Jake Odorizzi (3-7, 4.29) is scheduled to start the nightcap. He's coming off a 8-0 win on Saturday against Houston, whom he kept scoreless while fanning 10 batters.
"I think I'm starting to get to that point where I feel confident in what's going on, in the process and how things are coming out," Odorizzi told MLB.com. "For the most part. There's occasional misses. ... But locating has been the big key to all of this, and mixing speeds up and down."
Chris Tillman (6-4, 4.45) is slated to oppose Odorizzi. He's also coming off a win, giving up no runs to the New York Yankees on Sunday.
