Adam Jones is batting .302/.333/.505 with 21 home runs in 88 games as the leadoff hitter. He batted .223/.281/.384 with five home runs in 28 games while batting third.

Ubaldo Jimenez tossed his ninth career complete game in his last start, the first by an Oriole since Miguel Gonzalez on Sept. 3, 2014.

The Orioles are listing Chris Tillman as Sunday’s starter, so there were no setbacks this week.
