Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. White Sox, 7:05

The first-place White Sox are in town tonight to take on the last-place Orioles. This doesn’t bode well on the surface for the Orioles, but on any given night you don’t know what you might see.

Like much of the O’s starting rotation, Jorge López is having his trouble. In four of his last five starts, López has given up 4 or 5 runs and hasn’t completed five innings. The fifth was a nice start against Houston (6.1 IP, 2 R), so I’m hoping we see something like that tonight.

The White Sox swept the Orioles the last time they met, so it’d be nice to turn that around tonight. Let’s go O’s!
