All eyes will be on Bundy's fastball velocity after it dropped into the high 80s during Sunday's loss to the Angels. The Orioles chalked the issue up to fatigue, perhaps related to his season-high seven-plus-inning effort one start prior.
RHP
1-3, 3.45 ERA, 20 SO
Rodriguez continued to impress with his third consecutive quality start in his last outing. Against the A's, the right-hander allowed three runs on six hits through six innings, tossing a career-high 101 pitches.

The Padres want Lucchesi, who worked 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball on Saturday, to throw more strikes. But he's managed to limit his walks lately. Lucchesi's 3.37 FIP is 1.2 points lower than his ERA, indicating he could be due for a turnaround.

Perez sustained a contusion after taking a line drive off his left foot in his last outing, but he is expected to make his next scheduled start in Seattle. His 15-inning scoreless streak was snapped vs. Detroit, but he allowed only four hits in five innings.
LHP
5-3, 3.65 ERA, 45 SO
Gonzales had been outstanding until two rough outings in his past three with short stints and high pitch counts against the Cubs and Red Sox. Shoddy defense contributed to those and he’ll look to get back on track vs. a Twins team he’s never faced.
