The Baltimore Orioles play the Kansas City Royals on Monday in Game 3 of the 2014 AL Championship Series. The game starts at 8:07 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream or listen to the radio broadcast below.
Baltimore is in a 2-0 hole after Saturday's 6-4 loss to Kansas City. Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar and outfielder Lorenzo Cain both had RBIs in the ninth inning that put Kansas City ahead, giving them the opportunity to close the series out at home with two more wins.
"The series ain't over," said Orioles outfielder Adam Jones, via ESPN. "If you guys (are) thinking it's over, why are we going to show up on Monday?"
With his team in a two-game deficit, Orioles manager Buck Showalter wants to keep it simple.
"You've got to win four games," he said. "You've got to keep from losing three. And that's obviously oversimplifying it. But you look at teams that compete during the course of the season, they compete on the road, too."
Baltimore will send Wei-Yin Chen to the mound Monday. Despite the 2-0 hole and having given up five earned runs in Friday's no-decision against Detroit, Chen sounded unaffected by the pressure on him to have a big game.
"It doesn't matter to me if we're ahead or behind," Chen said through an interpreter. "For me, my job is to go out and pitch a good game. It doesn't change whether it's 0-2 or 2-0. I just want to pitch a good game."
Chen will be opposed by ex-Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie, who's pitching for the first time since Sept. 26. While the lengthy layoff raises some concerns about rust, Guthrie doesn't believe it will be a factor.
"I've never had this much time between starts aside from being on the DL," he said, "so I don't view it one way or another. I was able to throw a simulated game, which at least gave me the opportunity to go out there and face hitters."
