Orioles, Royals set starting lineups for Game 1

Vinnie will play.

The Royals and Orioles have unveiled their starting lineups for Game 1 of the Wild Card series to be played at 3:08 CT at Camden Yards in Baltimore.

The Royals will start Cole Ragans for their first post-season game since 2015. He gave up just one hit in six shutout innings against the Orioles in Baltimore in his second start of the year, but gave up seven runs in less than two innings in his start against them in Kansas City.

Vinnie Pasquantino returns to the lineup after being out since August 29 with a broken thumb. Hunter Renfroe sits with Tommy Pham starting in right field. Michael Massey leads off with Maikel Garcia hitting ninth.

The Orioles will start Corbin Burnes, who beat the Royals in Kansas City and earned a no-decision against them in Baltimore, giving up five runs total in the two starts, but failing to get through six innings. James McCann gets the start behind the plate with regular catcher Adley Rustchman at DH, despite a second-half slump.

The game will air on ESPN 2 and will air on the Royals Radio Network, 610 Sports and 96.5 The Fan in Kansas City, as well as ESPN Radio which airs on 810 WHB in Kansas City.
