Starting pitchers: Orioles RHP Dylan Bundy (3-3, 3.46 ERA) vs. Rangers RHP Yu Darvish (2-2, 3.09 ERA)

What to watch

1. First crack: The Orioles have the fortune/misfortune of being the first opponent to take a crack at facing the Rangers' upgraded lineup with catcher Jonathan Lucroy and outfielder Carlos Beltran added to the third-highest scoring team in the American League. How will the Orioles fare?

2. Bundy back on hill: Dylan Bundy starts for the first time since retiring 16 batters in a row before finishing with three earned runs in 5 2/3 innings of a loss to the Rockies. Bundy is 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts, but has shown promise in each outing. Can he take another step forward against the Rangers?

3. Starting to turn: After hitting one home run with four RBIs in his first 18 games of July, Adam Jones finished the month well. He is batting .321/.406/.679 with three homers and eight RBIs in his past seven games. Fresh off his big three-run homer Sunday, will Jones help jump start the rest of the offense?
