7:05 PM EST start time for tonight's game

Pitching matchup
TOR: RHP Josh Towers (1-1, 2.03 ERA)
Towers is a control specialist who relies on placement rather than power, and he's coming off his first win of the season against Detroit on Sunday. In that game, the right-hander surrendered only three hits and an unearned run in 7 2/3 innings.

BAL: LHP Adam Loewen (1-0, 3.95 ERA)
Loewen lasted only 3 2/3 innings in his last outing at Tampa Bay on Monday, and he's shown a propensity for allowing baserunners this season. In 13 2/3 innings, Loewen has given up 13 hits and walked 12.

Player to watch
Center fielder Vernon Wells loves hitting against the Orioles. He's 115-for-382 (.301) with 23 homers and 71 RBIs in his career against Baltimore.
