Samuel Basallo is on the bench, as are an injured Jordan Westburg and Adley Rutschman, as the O’s go for a sweep.
Westburg suffered the injury while scrambling back to first base after making a hard turn towards second, and after being checked out by the team trainer, it was determined that he couldn't continue. He'll be considered day-to-day until the club has more news on the severity of the injury.
Jordan Westburg hit a three-run homer among four hits with a career-best five RBIs and Dean Kremer pitched seven sharp innings to give the Baltimore Orioles a 12-0 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Westburg left the game after rounding second base in the first inning. The Orioles used the phrase “right-ankle discomfort” when describing Westburg’s injury. Mansolino said the Orioles would wait to see how Westburg felt in the morning.
"I think I speak for Jackson, Gunnar, Adley, myself, we are more reserved, quiet," Westburg said. "We are more lead-by-example guys. This clubhouse doesn’t really have that loud voice, perhaps."
