FORT MYERS, Fla. – The 20-win spring training Orioles play their penultimate road game tonight against the Red Sox at JetBlue Park.
Albert Suárez makes his fifth appearance and third start, and he needs to avoid the one disastrous inning that has marred his last two games and maybe impacted his chances of going north.
Suárez has logged 11 1/3 innings and allowed eight runs and 13 hits with one walk and 16 strikeouts. He was charged with five runs in the seventh inning of Friday’s game against the Rays in Port Charlotte.
Gunnar Henderson is leading off and playing shortstop. Jordan Westburg is the third baseman and cleanup hitter.
Colton Cowser is in center field. Tyler Nevin is the left fielder and Kolten Wong is the second baseman.
