NEXT: AT BALTIMORE
Monday
Time: 7:05 p.m.
TV: SPSO
Probable starting pitchers: Braves LH Alex Wood (7-6, 3.78 ERA) vs. RH Kevin Gausman (1-2, 5.18)
Comment: Wood is coming off a quality start against the Dodgers. He gave up two home runs but only three runs overall in 6 2/3 innings in a 4-3 win. This is his third interleague start of the season. Wood had quality starts in his previous two: one earned run in six innings of a no-decision against the Red Sox and three earned runs in 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision at Toronto. Gausman opened the season in the Orioles bullpen but moved into the rotation recently, where he is 0-2 with a 5.57 ERA in four starts.
Tuesday
Time: 7:05 p.m.
TV: SPSO
Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Julio Teheran (6-5, 4.49) vs. RH Ubaldo Jimenez (7-6, 3.81)
Comment: Teheran matched his career high with 11 strikeouts his last time out against the Dodgers but still managed to lose, 3-1, after giving up three earned runs in seven innings. He posted a quality start in his last road start — three earned runs in seven innings July 8 in Milwaukee — but still has work to do on his road record of 1-4 and 6.95. This is the first time the Braves have faced Jimenez in two years, since he was with the Indians. He is 3-5 with a 3.79 ERA in nine career starts against the Braves during his 10-year career.
Wednesday
Time: 7:05 p.m.
TV: SPSO
Probable starting pitchers: LH Manny Banuelos (1-2, 2.49) vs. RH Chris Tillman (7-7, 4.71)
Comment: Banuelos is making his fifth major league start and is still looking to pitch a full six innings. He gave up four earned runs in five innings of a 4-2 loss at St. Louis on Friday night to start this road trip. He walked three batters for the third time in those five starts. Tillman has made three straight quality starts for the Orioles, giving up just three earned runs in 21 innings (1.29 ERA), walking five and striking out 18.
