Griffin vs. Baz: The Left‑Handed Duel That Might Surprise Camden Yards
Cleveland’s Foster Griffin (15‑4, 3.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP) is ready to make the Orioles’ right‑hander Shane Baz (5‑15, 3.91 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) feel like the guy who’s always missing the ball. With the Guardians’ 3.76 team ERA trailing Baltimore’s 4.13, the only real advantage the home side has is a marginally better batting average (.236 vs. .234). And while DeLauter is out day‑to‑day and Hoskins is on a 10‑day IL, the Guardians are hoping that the lack of left‑field firepower won’t turn the game into a one‑hit walk‑off for the Orioles.
