White Sox Back Noah Schultz to Stay Hot
The White Sox are rolling right now at 44-39, riding a one-game winning streak into Camden Yards. Their probable pitcher Noah Schultz is making his return from a knee injury and wants to keep the momentum going. Schultz spent time rehabbing and threw 74 pitches in his last practice start, striking out seven batters. The young lefty needs to pitch his best to avoid a third straight loss to Baltimore this series. Chicago beat the Orioles 9-3 yesterday with some huge power hitting that gave them real confidence heading into this matchup.
Gunnar Henderson Chasing His Power Back
Gunnar Henderson is one of baseball's brightest stars and the Orioles' shortstop. Last year he crushed 37 home runs, but this season that number dropped to 17. Instead, Henderson found his speed and stole a career-high 30 bases. He's batting just .239 with 3 home runs and 9 RBIs so far this year. If Henderson gets his power stroke back, the Orioles could turn their season around. The young superstar has all the tools to become an MVP candidate once again.
Baltimore Needs to Stop the Bleeding
The Orioles are struggling at 39-47 and have lost three straight games heading into Wednesday. Pete Alonso is their new superstar first baseman who hit 264 home runs before joining Baltimore. He's batting .276 with 7 home runs and 22 RBIs this year. Catcher Adley Rutschman is the team's leader and vocal voice on the field. Baltimore's pitching staff has injuries piling up, but the bats need to wake up. They have to bounce back against Chicago right now or their season gets even harder.
