Tomoyuki Sugano is set to take the mound for the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday afternoon as they battle the Chicago Cubs in the second game of a three-game set at Wrigley Field. First pitch is scheduled for 2:20 p.m. ET, with Cubs infielder Matt Shaw expected to be in the starting lineup.
Baltimore will be looking to bounce back after getting blanked 1-0 in Friday’s series opener. The O’s dropped to 50-60 on the year with that defeat and will hit the road for a matchup with the Phillies after Sunday’s finale.
Meanwhile, the Cubs are riding high after Friday’s shutout and will look to build momentum as they chase down a postseason spot. The win pushed their record to 64-45, and following this series, they’ll stay home for a key divisional clash with the Reds.
