Ubaldo Jimenez comes off the disabled list today to make his first start since July 5 in Boston. He joins an Orioles pitching staff that’s registered a 2.80 ERA in 21 games since the All-Star break.

Jimenez is 3-8 with a 4.52 ERA in 18 starts this season. He’s 0-5 with a 10.55 ERA in five day games, which is why manager Buck Showalter slotted him to pitch the nightcap of the July 5 doubleheader at Fenway Park.

Cardinals right-hander John Lackey is 14-7 with a 3.70 ERA in 26 career starts…Ubaldo Jimenez comes off the disabled list today to make his first start since July 5 in Boston. He joins an Orioles pitching staff that’s registered a 2.80 ERA in 21 games since the All-Star break.
