"FINAL: Blue Jays 4, Orioles 1" - Orioles
The Red Sox are on a three-game losing streak and are currently looking to relinquish their hopes of making it to the postseason unless a bigger performance is put up by the unit as a whole toward the final phase of the regular season.
The Orioles will start RHP Austin Voth on the mound. He has an ERA of 4.41, a 1.40 WHIP, and a W-L of 4-2. This will be his 14th start of the season because, earlier with the Nationals, he was only a relief pitcher. He is looking to make his mark in front of the Oriole bullpen and has registered three wins in his five previous starts on the hill. This will be his first outing against the Red Sox.
The Red Sox will give the ball to Dominican youngster Brayan Bello. He has had a torrid season so far, managing only one win in six starts on the mound. He does punch out enough hitters. He has an ERA of 5.91 and a 1.81 WHIP. This will be a fresh start for Bello as he looks to make a mark in the big leagues.
