In his two starts before that, he went 2-0 with an ERA of 2.94. Will the real Feldman stand up? He is 2-3 with a 5.70 ERA over six O's starts since they acquired him from the Chicago Cubs on July 2. The Orioles are 3-3 when he starts and he has recorded three quality starts. The O's pitching staff has allowed three runs or less for six consecutive games, giving up 14 runs in that stretch. Feldman's mound opponent is lefty Wade Miley, who is 9-8 with a 3.56 ERA over 23 starts.
