The Guardians look to secure the series win behind Plesac, who allowed just one earned run over 6 innings in his last start. Cleveland's offense has been particularly strong in day games this season, which could be key against an Orioles team still seeking consistency. Baltimore aims for their eighth series win of the season despite sitting 16 games back in the division.
