Lance McCullers Set for Sixth Start in Doubleheader vs. Orioles

Lance McCullers is scheduled to make his sixth start of the 2026 season on Thursday during the second game of a traditional doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. McCullers currently holds a 1-2 record with a 6.75 ERA through his first five starts. The doubleheader was necessitated by a rainout on Wednesday night. The Houston Astros (11-19) are looking for a strong performance from the veteran right-hander as they attempt to gain ground in the American League standings.
