Brandon Young from AAA Norfolk will make his first MLB appearance on Saturday, getting the call up to the O's after Zach Elfin went on the DL. Young spun a 2,76 ERA in three starts at Norfolk and completes a winding journey to the bigs, but note it's also a desperate Birds rotation at the moment, with a subpar 5.09 ERA, one of the worst in the bigs. The Baltimore task is daunting on Saturday as Cincy's Hunter Greene has been blowing away opposing batters, not allowing a run in his last two starts and posting an 0.98 ERA and 0.58 WHIP thru four starts into Saturday. The Reds also romped 8-3 in the series opener on Friday night. Play Reds on Money Line

Hunter Greene may be the best starter in MLB right now. Adding a third pitch and trusting his stuff in the zone has made all the difference in the world. The O's have a middling lineup and they don't hit premier pitching well. Brandon Young is making his MLB debut with a bad defensive team behind him could be a big problem for Baltimore. The Reds can run all over Orioles catchers, too. The O's had to go to pen early Friday night.
