Ryan McKenna gets the start in left field tonight as the Orioles try to guarantee a series win in Texas.
Gunnar Henderson collected his first two hits last night, including a home run, but he's on the bench against Rangers left-hander Andrew Heaney. Ramón Urías is starting at third base.
Anthony Santander is the designated hitter and Austin Hays is in right.
Cedric Mullins is the leadoff hitter rather than moving down to ninth, as he did versus Boston lefty Chris Sale.

Some leftovers from last night:
The Orioles set a club record with seven no-hit innings from their bullpen. The previous mark was six, on Sept. 8, 2011 against the Yankees and June 24, 2022 against the White Sox. It also marked the 12th time in Orioles history that a reliever worked at least five hitless innings, and the first since Travis Driskill on May 8, 2002 against Cleveland.
The Orioles have won seven consecutive games against the Rangers dating back to July 4, 2022, their longest streak against an opponent since also taking seven straight against the Braves from June 16, 2012-June 23, 2018. It’s their longest streak against an American League opponent since winning seven in a row against the Rays from April 27-July 16, 2016.
The last time the Orioles won eight in a row was against the Mariners from July 3-Sept. 19, 2012.
They’ve homered in each of the first four games of the season for the seventh time in club history, and the first since 2013. Their record is seven in 1966 and 1984.
Multiple home runs in four consecutive games to start the season are the second-most in team history. The 1994 Orioles did it in five straight.
