Twins vs Orioles Probable Pitchers

Sonny Gray (4-2, 2.67) is scheduled to start for the Twins against left-hander Cole Irvin (1-3, 7.18). Both will be pitching on five days of rest.

Gray vs Irvin

Sonny Gray
VS
Cole Irvin
4-2 Record 1-3
2.67 ERA 7.18
3.85 xERA 8.04
1.29 WHIP 1.67
2.70 SO/W 2.70

Gray has gone 10 starts without a win and has an 0-2 record and 3.93 ERA during that span. He lost to the Braves on Monday in Atlanta when he gave up three runs and seven hits in 6.2 innings while striking out five and walking one.

Gray, whose AL Cy Young odds are +4000, is 6-5 with a 4.60 ERA in 12 career starts versus the Orioles.

On the road this season, Gray is 1-1 with a 3.19 ERA in seven starts. He is 3-0 with a 1.91 ERA in six starts during the day. Gray has six quality starts in 16 outings and the Twins are 8-8 when he pitches.

Irvin pitched just three innings in a no-decision against the Orioles on Monday because of a rain delay in Baltimore. He allowed one run on three hits with three strikeouts and no walks.

In his lone career appearance against the Twins in 2021, Irvin had a no-decision despite yielding only one run in 6.2 innings.

Irvin is 1-1 with a 5.82 ERA in four starts at Camden Yards this season and 1-2 with an 8.20 ERA in six games (four starts) during the day. The Orioles have split Irvin’s six starts but he has not pitched more than 5.1 innings.

Twins catcher Christian Vazquez has given Irvin problems by going 6 for 10 but center fielder Willi Castro is 0 for 5. Orioles left fielder Austin Hays is 2 for 5 with three strikeouts against Gray and right fielder Aaron Hicks is hitless in 11 at-bats.

Twins vs Orioles Betting Outlook

The Twins’ Joey Gallo accounted for the game’s lone run Saturday with a home run.

Max Kepler had two hits for the Twins. The Orioles were shut out on three hits.

Twins third baseman Royce Lewis left the game with a left oblique strain and is expected to be placed on the injured list.

The Orioles shuffled relievers before the game, calling up right-hander Chris Vallimont from Triple-A Norfolk and optioning left-hander Bruce Zimmermann to the same club.
