SARASOTA, Fla. - The
Orioles are breaking out most of their regulars for tonight's game against Florida Southern, but they'll lean heavily on their bullpen to cover nine innings.
For the Orioles:
Nolan Reimold LF
Nick Markakis DH
J.J. Hardy SS
Adam Jones CF
Matt Wieters C
Mark Reynolds 3B
Chris Davis 1B
Robert Andino 2B
Ryan Flaherty RF
Jim Johnson RHP
Johnson will go one inning. Troy Patton will follow him and go two innings.
Don't read too much into it. The Orioles aren't changing Johnson's role. It's a bullpen game.
Patton has to feel pretty good about his chances of making the team.
