[外電] O's will send Saunders to face Rangers

[ricky7928 (ricky7928)]

ST. PETERSBURG -- Hours after their 4-1 loss to the Rays on Wednesday, the
Orioles had not named a starter for Friday's American League Wild Card
matchup against the Rangers. On Thursday, manager Buck Showalter tabbed Joe
Saunders for the organization's first playoff game in 15 years.

Saunders was picked over Steve Johnson, who threw a light bullpen session on
Wednesday to test his sore left knee and was deemed good to go after that.
The right-handed rookie, who is 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA in 12 games (four
starts), has never faced the Rangers as a starter, but saw them once as a
reliever earlier this year.

Saunders, on the other hand, has, but it hasn't been good. The 31-year-old
lefty has a 6.48 ERA in 11 career starts against Texas, including a 9.38 ERA
in six games in Arlington.

"If we can win a game on Friday, [Jason Hammel] could be an option for us,"
Showalter said of the 30-year-old right-hander, who will take a work day in
Texas on Thursday and could start on Sunday if the O's advance to the
Division Series. "If you look at what's been going on all year, it's been the
sum of the pitching staff between Norfolk and Baltimore. We think our No. 1
starter is the guy that's pitching that night."

The Rangers will counter with Yu Darvish, who finished the regular season
16-9, with a 3.90 ERA in 29 starts and 191 1/3 innings pitched. He was fifth
in the AL in strikeouts, with 221, and opponents hit .220 off him, the
third-lowest average in the league.

"It's obvious from what they were willing to commit to him, they really liked
the return," Showalter said. "We'll have our work cut out for us."

The Orioles and Rangers ended the season with identical records, but Texas
has the head-to-head edge, going 5-2 against Baltimore. The Orioles were
outscored in those games, 56-24.
