Baltimore at Kansas City

Baltimore snapped a five-game losing streak with an 8-4 win over the Royals last out, and the Orioles had six straight hits in a five-run third inning. Kansas City has lost seven of its past nine games and is heading toward a last-place finish in the AL Central. Carlos Hernandez is scheduled to make his first start of the season in what likely will be a bullpen game for the Royals, and the Orioles will be facing him for the first time. Matt Harvey has had some success versus Kansas City hitters, who are batting just .210 with a .289 slugging percentage against him in 68 at-bats. The Royals are 16-36 their past 52 games versus right-handed starters and 28-61 overall against AL East teams. Play the Orioles.
