Jeremiah Jackson is the cleanup hitter today for the first time with the Orioles, who try to avoid a sweep this afternoon in Toronto.
Jackson is starting at third base. He’s hit in every spot in the lineup except third.
Dylan Beavers is in right field and batting second again. Samuel Basallo is the designated hitter and batting fifth.
Coby Mayo moves up to sixth after homering yesterday and producing his first multi-hit game since Aug. 6.
The Orioles lost yesterday for the 10th time when leading through seven innings and the third when ahead entering the ninth.
The bullpen has surrendered nine runs (eight earned) in two games in this series.
Gunnar Henderson is the third Orioles primary shortstop with multiple 30-plus double seasons in his career, joining Miguel Tejada (2004-06) and Cal Ripken Jr. (1982-86, 1989, 1991, 1995-96).
Jackson Holliday has a 14-game on-base streak since Aug. 28. He’s registered a .469 on-base percentage against right-handed pitchers since Aug. 17. His overall OPS has jumped from .600 in August to .971 this month.
Beavers has reached base safely 40 times to begin his career, trailing only Billy Ripken (41 in 1987) for the most in team history through a player's first 23 games.
Basallo is batting .286 against fastballs but below .150 against breaking and off-speed pitches.
Kyle Bradish is listed as Monday night’s starter against the White Sox in Chicago, but the next two spots are TBD.
The White Sox are starting right-handers Sean Burke and Shane Smith and left-hander Martín Pérez.
