The Orioles and Royals will be meeting for the first time this season, with the teams having split their last 40 matchups dating back to July 29 of 2009.

The Orioles were swept in four games in their most recent series against the Twins, scoring three or fewer runs in each game. Baltimore hasn't scored fewer than four runs in five straight games since a 10-game streak from June 17-28, 2012.

In his career against the Orioles, Kendrys Morales has a .359 batting average, good for fourth highest by any player against the franchise since 1954 (minimum 125 PA).

With his three hit/three RBI performance yesterday against the Twins, Jonathan Schoop is batting .342 with two home runs and 12 RBI in the month of August. Prior to August, Schoop was batting .256.

Kris Medlen will be making his first start of the season, and first since September 27, 2013 against the Phillies, a game in which Medlen pitched 8.0 shutout innings. Medlen is 4-2 (.667) with a 3.47 ERA in eight career starts against the AL.

Over the last two seasons, Ubaldo Jimenez is 5-4 (.556) with a 6.64 ERA after the All-Star break. However, the Orioles have won each of the last three of his starts.

HP - Welke, 1B - Hirschbeck, 2B - Tumpane, 3B - West

A six-game losing streak dropped the Baltimore Orioles several spots in the wild-card race. Back-to-back wins against the team with the best record in the AL would at least take some of the sting out of that.
Baltimore tries to send the Kansas City Royals to rare consecutive home losses Thursday in the conclusion of this four-game series.

Orioles-Royals Preview

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  Yordano Ventura's locker sits next to that of Edinson Volquez in the Kansas City clubhouse, and two down from Johnny Cueto, who arrived last month in a trade from Cincinnati.
In other words, he gets plenty of veteran advice.
