Miley vs. Sanchez tonight in Toronto

Orioles left-hander Wade Miley will attempt tonight to restore order to his statistical page.

Miley made his season debut on Sunday against the Yankees and allowed only one hit over five scoreless innings. He struck out five batters. All in all, a solid outing that was delayed but not denied - until you check the walks.

Seven of them spread over those five innings to tie his career high. The last pitch thrown was his 100th of the afternoon.

And we said it wouldn't get weird.

Aaron Sanchez's debut didn't mirror the one turned in by Miley. He held the Rays to one run and four hits in seven innings.

Sanchez is 5-2 with a 3.88 ERA in 13 career games against the Orioles, including eight starts. He's posted a 1.569 WHIP over 51 innings.
