The Orioles are attempting to conclude their road trip with a 5-4 record before heading home and enjoying Thursday's off-day. Lineups will be posted shortly.

The Orioles are 22-17 in day games and 21-16 in the last game of a series. They're batting .267 on their current trip, and the starters have posted a 4.70 ERA in 46 innings.

Home teams won all 15 games yesterday for the first time in major league history. The previous record was 12 games on May 23, 1914.

The National League, American League and Federal League each had four games that day. Anyone remember reading about this on the Internet?

Kevin Gausman, who starts today for the Orioles, has allowed eight runs in the first inning of his seven outings this season, the most of any inning.

Here are the pitching matchups for the upcoming four-game series against the Athletics at Camden Yards, which again don't include right-hander Sonny Gray:

Friday: Ubaldo Jimenez (9-7, 3.79 ERA) vs. Jesse Chavez (6-11, 3.73 ERA)
Saturday: Miguel Gonzalez (9-8, 4.45 ERA) vs. Chris Bassitt (1-4, 2.48 ERA)
Sunday: Wei-Yin Chen (6-6, 3.21 ERA) vs. Kendall Graveman (6-8, 3.89 ERA)
Monday: Chris Tillman (8-7, 4.66 ERA) vs. Aaron Brooks (1-0, 1.26 ERA)
