The Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers are playing on the MLB schedule for Memorial Day 2014 and the matchup comes from Miller Park and starts up at 2:10 pm ET and is streaming from the MLB.com website and has Chris Tillman and Kyle Lohse facing off in the pitching matchup and comes during a full slate of games around baseball.
The Orioles come into the game trailing the Toronto Blue Jays and the NY Yankees in the American League east, while the Brewers have been the top team in the central. Baltimore comes into the game after winning over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday with a win from Miguel Gonzalez and a save from Zach Britton and now they start up a series with the Brewers on Memorial Day. Buck Showalter said that Britton will likely remain the top option until Tommy Hunter returns and no team has yet started to pull away with the AL East, giving some teams pause for desperation when it comes to injuries, including the Yankees and what they have been dealing with in their rotation.
Chris Tillman takes the mound with a 4-2 record and a 4.21 ERA this season, while Lohse has been one of the best pitchers for the NL Central leading Brewers, putting up a 6-1 record with a 2.67 ERA. Matt Garza will pitch for the Brewers on Tuesday and the Orioles come into the game after being ranked 14th in runs and they are also fourth in batting average. The team is 17th in on base percentage and 10th in slugging percentage, while the pitching has been so so, ranking 22nd in ERA, 28th in quality starts and 27th in BAA.

The Brewers are ranked 17th in runs and 14th in batting average, while the team is ranked 11th in slugging percentage. The interleague matchup comes as the two teams have each won one in a row to bounce back from losses and the Orioles have gone 5-5 over their last 10 games, while the Brewers have gone just 4-6 and now they head into June looking to stay atop their division races.
