Brad Bergesen, who cleared waivers and was outrighted, will start for the Tides.

The Orioles haven’t posted their lineup. The Nats beat them to it.

At least the Nats can brag about beating them once this weekend.

I would expect Matt Wieters, in a 4-for-40 slump, to be sitting out today’s game after catching last night. Look for Luis Exposito behind the plate.

Wei-Yin Chen begins his Orioles career with a 4-0 record. The last Orioles starter to win his first five decisions with the club was Jimmy Key (8-0 in in 1997). Ben McDonald was 5-0 1990.
