For the Red Sox, we get another look at Emmanuel Valdez, who was brought in last year via the trade that sent Christian Vazquez to Houston. He was recalled because Yu Chang has ended up on the injured list and gets the start today after Christian Arroyo left yesterday's game early.

Also, Duran is in the lineup, seemingly having taken over the starting CF job. He had three hits yesterday and hit his first career grand slam.

The lineup for the Orioles, who enter play at 15-8, looks like this:

1) Cedric Mullins, CF

2) Adley Rutschman, C

3) Anthony Santander, RF

4) Ryan Mountcastle, DH

5) Gunnar Henderson, SS

6) Adam Frazier, 2B

7) Ryan O'Hearn, 1B

8) Ramon Urias, 3B

9) Terrin Vavra, LF

SP: Tyler Wells (0-1, 2.70 ERA)

The Orioles are looking to rebound after being beaten last night. They were down 8-1 but came back to only lose 8-6. Mullins hit a grand slam in the ninth inning.

Baltimore is off to a terrific start and have several players who are making their fantasy owners happy, sitting in second place in the American League East behind the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays. Austin Hays is hitting .312 and Cedric Mullins leads baseball with eight stolen bases.

After this game, the Red Sox will be off on Thursday before hosting the Guardians. The Orioles will travel to Detroit on Thursday.
