We all know that the fifth starter’s spot is up for grabs. The competition, as much as the coaching staff wants to frame it, is between Nick Pivetta and Vince Velasquez. In a perfect world, both would pitch well enough to earn the spot, but Pivetta’s debut (1 2⁄3 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 K) wasn’t the right foot to get started on.
Today, it’s Velasquez’s turn to show what he has learned over the winter. He’ll face the Orioles, so this shouldn’t pose too much of an issue for him. The lineups we’ll see are:
