Pedro Alvarez is back in the Orioles’ lineup tonight as the designated hitter to start a four-game series against the Tigers at Camden Yards.

Mark Trumbo is in right field and Rule 5 pick Joey Rickard continues to play left field. Caleb Joseph starts at catcher. Matt Wieters is out of the lineup for the second straight game.

Adam Jones and Chris Davis each went 4-for-5 with a home run yesterday, marking the first time that the Orioles had two players with at least four hits and a home run in the same game since Will Clark and Cal Ripken, Jr. on June 13, 1999 in Atlanta.
