Rookie Cedric Mullins also is on the bench against Mariners left-hander Wade LeBlanc. Joey Rickard is in center and John Andreoli is in left.

Luis Ortiz, whose contract was selected today from Triple-A Norfolk, said he expected to go home and didn’t know that the Orioles would bring him to the majors. He’s excited and just waiting for a chance to pitch, saying he still has plenty of innings left in his arm.
