ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Paul Janish is started at shortstop today as the Orioles try to win their fourth consecutive series.

Janish-Tag-at-Second-Orange-Sidebar.jpgManager Buck Showalter said J.J. Hardy is fine physically. He just wanted to give Hardy a day off after playing three straight games on the artificial surface.

Gerardo Parra is leading off today and Steve Pearce is in left field.

On this date in 1958, Hoyt Wilhelm pitched the first no-hitter in Orioles history by defeating the Yankees 1-0 at Memorial Stadium. Gus Triandos’ 30th home run, an American League record for catchers at that time, accounted for the game’s only run.

Also on this date in 1998, Cal Ripken Jr. asked manager Ray Miller to remove him from the lineup to end his record consecutive games streak at 2,632. Ryan Minor, now the manager at Single-A Delmarva, started at third base and the Orioles lost to the Yankees 5-4.

It wasn’t his fault.
