The Baltimore Orioles are going for a sweep of the Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon in Arlington. The O's took Game 1, 2-0, and won Game 2, 7-2.

Game three of the series is an afternoon contest, slated for 2:05 p.m. ET, and features Rangers ace Jacob deGrom making his second start and Orioles rookie Grayson Rodriguez making his Major League debut.

Here is the lineup for the 3-2 Rangers...

1) Marcus Semien, 2B

3) Nate Lowe, 1B

4) Adolis Garcia, CF

5) Josh Jung, 3B

6) Robbie Grossman, RF

7) Mitch Garver, DH

8) Jonah Heim, C

9) Ezekiel Duran, LF

For the 3-2 Orioles, they'll line up like this for manager Brandon Hyde:

2) Adley Rutschman, C

3) Anthony Santander, RF

6) Terrin Vavra, DH

7) Austin Hays, LF

The big story in this one is Rodriguez making his major league debut. Among the top pitching prospects in all of baseball, he is the Orioles No. 1 pitching prospect. He failed to make the team out of spring training after having an ERA of more than seven in spring training

He's being called up to help the Orioles staff, which is scrambling after Kyle Bradish was placed on the injured list following being hit by a line drive in Game 1 of this series.
