The Orioles have had April 15 marked for a while as the day they finally would need a fifth starter. This season, he’s off to a very good start with a weighted on-base average near .400 thanks to two homers and two doubles among his eight hits. It was just the second hit Jones has had off Estrada in their 20 plate appearances. Happ and Estrada get to take more cracks at Jones on the weekend as the Blue Jays seek to exit this season-opening tail spin. Sanchez, Friday’s starter, has only allowed two hits in 24 plate appearances to Jones but he’s walked him four times.
