What to watch
1. Quick trip: Much like the Orioles' rare one-day visit to Arlington, Texas, on June 20, they have another one-day road series tonight in Minnesota. Facing far from ideal circumstances of being in the middle of a three-day, three-city stretch, how will the Orioles respond?
2. Another opportunity: Ubaldo Jimenez hasn't pitched since July 8, and after some time off and a mechanical adjustment he gets another chance to start. With a 7.38 ERA this season, could one good start tonight really put him in consideration for a return to the rotation?
3. Still searching: The Orioles scored just seven runs during their just-completed three-game series against the Colorado Rockies and are averaging only 2.77 per game since the All-Star break. Will the offense break out against the worst pitching staff in the American League?
