RHP Lewis (3-1, 2.97 ERA): He'll be making his seventh start of the season and pitching on regular rest after losing for the first time this season Friday in Cleveland. ... Lewis allowed six runs on 10 hits in 6 2/3 innings in that outing, snapping his string of five straight quality starts. ...

Still, opposing hitters are 2-for-25 with 10 strikeouts with RISP off Lewis in 2012. ... He has pitched in six games (four starts) against Baltimore in his career and is 1-3 with a 5.53 ERA with 26 strikeouts and 10 walks. ... He split two decisions vs. the O's in 2011, losing the first game of a doubleheader at Camden Yards on April 9 and then winning on July 4 in Arlington thanks to a quality start (three runs in seven innings).

LHP Wei-Yin Chen (2-0, 2.76 ERA): The Orioles are 4-1 when the 26-year-old Chen is on the mound and the only loss was his first start of the season. ... Chen allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits in five innings with three walks and four strikeouts in Boston in his last start. ... Prior to his last outing, Chen had two straight quality starts, allowing two runs on 11 hits in 13 1/3 innings vs. the A's and Angels.
