What to watch

1. One-game series. The Orioles come off a four-game split with the New York Yankees to play a one-game series against the Phillies, a makeup of a May 17 rainout. Before matching wins with the Yankees, the Orioles had lost 13 of 14 games. The Phillies are going the opposite direction, with 10 wins in 14 games to draw even with the Atlanta Braves for first place in the National League East.

2. Gausman. Kevin Gausman will be looking to keep his latest roll going, as he owns a 3.13 ERA over his past six starts. The right-hander had seen his season mark climb to 4.63 on June 2, but has brought it back down to 4.11 since.

3. Keep it going. Jonathan Schoop brings a 10-game hitting streak into Thursday, during which he’s batting .415/.415/.707 with eight extra-base hits and three RBIs.
