Baltimore Orioles

It was the least expected for a team like Baltimore Orioles to smash 11 runs against the defending World Champions. Baltimore was strong at the plate and their pitching unit was equally strong when they restricted the Nationals to nothing. In the last three games alone, the Orioles have smashed 19 runs off the plate and they are all set to cause damage this season. The leading batsman for Baltimore is Hander Alberto followed by Renato Nunez and Jose Iglesias. The Orioles will deliver Tom Eshelman to the mound as their starting pitcher in this game. Eshelman is holding a 0-0 record with an ERA of 2.70 this season.

Washington Nationals

A bad start for Washington has not only made them fall back, but they are struggling to get past some of the weak teams.

The leading batsman is Starlin Castro with one RBI and 13 hits. Following Castro is Asdrubal Cabrera and Adam Eaton. Washington will turn in Austin Voth to the mound as their starting pitcher in this game. Voth is holding a 0-1 record on the season with an ERA of 3.60. Voth will make his second start in his career against Baltimore.
