Shortstop J.J. Hardy, who has committed errors in back-to-back games, is out of today’s lineup for the series finale in Seattle.

Ryan Flaherty, hitless in his last 30 at-bats, is starting at shortstop. David Lough, with two hits in his last 23 at-bats, is in left field. Jimmy Paredes, with three hits in 27 at-bats this month, is the designated hitter.

Caleb Joseph is catching after replacing Matt Wieters last night in the third inning. Wieters has avoided the disabled list thus far and he benefits from Thursday’s open date on the schedule.

The Orioles will check his right hamstring on Friday.

Nelson Cruz and his 21-game hitting streak are on the bench today. Cruz came out of last night’s game with neck stiffness.
