Orioles lineup game one versus the Rays and game notes
The Baltimore Orioles start a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight. T.J. McFarland is back with the team and is expected to be activated, no word yet as to who is going to be sent down. Chris Tillman will look to get back to form, he has had three straight below average to bad outings. Tillman has had bad luck with weather and other factors.
It is odd that Steve Clevenger is catching today and Matt Wieters is DHing even though the Orioles are coming off an off day.
Here is the lineup from Brittany Ghiroli’s tweet.
#Orioles lineup: Markakis 9, Machado 5, Cruz 7, Jones 8, Wieters DH, Hardy 6, Clevenger 2, Pearce 3, Flaherty 4. Tillman SP
