Athletics host Orioles as both teams seek playoff positioning

The Baltimore Orioles face the Oakland Athletics at Sutter Health Park today in the opener of a three-game series.

Athletics left-hander Jacob Lopez, who has been consistent since the All-Star break, is set to start against Orioles right-hander Brandon Young, who hopes to improve his previous performance against Oakland. The match marks the first encounter since the Orioles traded Adley Rutschman to the Boston Red Sox.
