BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles are starting Kyle Bradish in Game 1 of the AL Division Series against Texas on Saturday.

Manager Brandon Hyde made the announcement Friday and said rookie Grayson Rodriguez is set for Game 2 on Sunday.

The 27-year-old Bradish (12-7) finished third in the American League with a 2.83 ERA this season. Rodriguez (7-4) was one of baseball's top pitching prospects at the beginning of the year. He struggled early and was sent back to the minors for a bit, but he's gone 5-2 with a 2.58 ERA since the All-Star break.
