Overview
- The three-game set begins Friday night at Globe Life Field with Baltimore sending Shane Baz to the mound against Texas veteran Nathan Eovaldi.
- Saturday’s rematch pairs Kyle Bradish for the Orioles with Jacob deGrom for the Rangers in a matchup that tests both rotations.
- Sunday’s finale is slated to feature Cade Povich for Baltimore and Kumar Rocker for Texas, with attention on Povich after he nearly missed three months with left forearm discomfort.
- Friday’s opener will stream exclusively on Apple TV’s Friday Night Baseball while Saturday airs on Fox/Fox One and Sunday is on MASN and the Rangers’ regional network with the MLB app also carrying games.
- Both clubs sit near .500 and are packed into the early August wild-card chase, so these head-to-head results could have an outsized effect on postseason seeding as the regular season moves toward its final weeks.
