The Royals (17-13, 7-8 road, 13-16 O/U) are looking to salvage a three-game series, while Baltimore (21-13, 9-5 home, 18-14 O/U) wants a sweep. The Royals send Jeremy Guthrie to the mound against his old team. Guthrie pitched for the Orioles from 2007-11 and was their ace most of the time. The Royals kicked the ball around on Wednesday, committing three errors and tossing a wild pitch in a 5-3 loss. Guthrie goes up against 36-year old veteran Freddy Garcia, who allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings against the struggling Angels on Saturday. He has a career mark of 10-13 with a 5.69 ERA in 30 all-time appearances against the Royals. The Royals have won five of Guthrie’s six starts this year as he has a 4-0 record with a 2.40 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. Expect the Royals to take the last game of this series.
