What to watch
1. Royal rumble reaction. After the Orioles and Royals brawled at Camden Yards on Tuesday, it will be worth watching how the teams react tonight. Will the Orioles retaliate? Will there still be tension between the clubs? Will it all be in the past now that emotions have been expressed via fists? Stay tuned.
2. Till the bell tolls. Chris Tillman takes the mound looking for his eighth win after his two worst starts since mid-April. He has allowed nine runs in 11 2/3 innings over his past two outings. Will he be able to rebound to get himself back to the ace form that helped keep the Birds rotation afloat for the first two months of the season?
3. K.C. masterpiece. The Orioles haven't swept the Royals since an abbreviated two-game set in Kansas City from May 16-17, 2012. With Chris Davis out of the starting lineup for the first time all season, can the Birds break out the brooms against the Royals?
