After being outscored 39-10 during a four-game sweep in the Bronx, the O’s are back on track after their last two wins over the Marlins. After a 9-7 win on Tuesday and a 7-5 win last night, the O’s have had two of their nine biggest offensive outputs in their first two contests with the Marlins. Pete Alonso has been at the heart of the offensive boom, as he enjoy terorizing his former NL East rival. Over Games 1 & 2, Alonso is 3-for-8 with two doubles, a homer and 5 RBIs. The star 1B is currently on a seven-game hit streak, slashing .360/.448/.880 with three home runs. The Orioles will need a better outing from starter Cade Povich if they want to complete the sweep of the Marlins and get a game closer to .500. The Baltimore left-hander was roughed up in Game 1 of the Yankees series, giving up five runs over four innings while allowing a pair of long balls. Tonight will be Povich’s first career start against the Marlins, and he’ll hope to improve upon his previous outings against the senior circuit. In 11 career appearances against the National League, the lefty has a 5.09 ERA with a 1.41 WHIP and 10 home runs allowed. Opposing Povich is 27-year-old right-hander Max Meyer. The former 1st-round pick is coming off the best start of his career, throwing seven innings of shutout ball against the while only allowing one hit and punching out seven. Meyer is also facing an opponent for the first time tonight, and like Povich, has a suspect track record in Interleague games. In six starts against the AL, Meyer has a 6.60 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP and seven home runs allowed. If the O’s can complete the sweep against the Marlins, it will be their second sweep of the season, having swept the in last month. Baltimore has already won the season series against Miami for the first time since 2023 after winning the last two nights
