After another narrow defeat on Friday, and then a rain-out yesterday, the Tribe returns to Camden Yards for the last two games of the series.

The enigmatic Trevor Bauer is on the mound for the first game, having failed to make it through four innings in two of his last three starts (with a superb seven-innings in-between!). The opposing pitcher is the similarly enigmatic LGFT Ubaldo Jimenez, who has gone at least 5 IP in each of his last six starts, but still regularly hits the 100-pitch mark before he has pitched five innings.

Today's Lineups
