Orioles lineup includes Alvarez at third base
By Roch Kubatko
The Orioles will attempt to win their seventh consecutive game tonight and match their longest streak of the season, and they'll do so with adjustments made to their lineup.
Hyun Soo Kim is making his seventh start tonight. He's in left field, with Joey Rickard moving to right and Mark Trumbo serving as the designated hitter.
Also, Pedro Alvarez is making his first start at third base since August 2014 with the Pirates, who moved him across the diamond last season. Ryan Flaherty is on the bench.
Matt Wieters is starting on back-to-back nights.
Adam Jones hit his 200th career home run last night in a 1-0 victory. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only other player to hit a century milestone home run No. 200 or higher in a 1-0 game was Ted Williams, whose 400th homer came in 1956 at Fenway Park against the Kansas City Athletics.
The tarp is on the field and a light rain has turned into a legitimate shower.
