Fifth starters face off as Royals oppose Orioles

A pair of pitchers looking to solidify their rotation status will face off when the Kansas City Royals visit the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday evening in the middle game of a three-game series. Kansas City right-hander Alec Marsh will open his second season hoping to start better than he did during his rookie campaign. This spring he was 0-2 with a 3.57 ERA in 17 2/3 innings. Marsh was chosen over 33-year-old Jordan Lyles for the No. 5 spot in the Kansas City rotation.
