Orioles Dominating Interleague Play
The Baltimore Orioles picked up a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday to continue their amazing play against the National League. The O’s have won eight of their past 10 interleague games while averaging more than seven runs per game in those outings. Baltimore will try and take the series from L.A. at Dodgers Stadium Wednesday.
Kevin Gausman has been hard to watch on the road this season. The right-hander has posted a 5.02 ERA while allowing opponents to hit .303 in eight starts on the road – comparably; Gausman has a 2.79 ERA at Camden Yards. The LSU-product is coming off a six-inning performance that saw him allow eight hits and three runs.
The Dodgers got a stellar performance out of Bud Norris in his first start with the team after being acquired from the Atlanta Braves. Norris pitched six innings of no-run ball during his July 1 debut with the club. Norris has been extremely successful at keeping the ball in the park this season, as the veteran has not allowed a home run in his past 18 appearances.
