Matt Wieters is catching Ubaldo Jimenez for the first time this season, as the Orioles begin a three-game series against the Mariners at rainy Camden Yards.

Jimenez's first seven starts came with Caleb Joseph behind the plate.

Paul Janish is making his second start and his first since Game 1 of the May 7 doubleheader against the Athletics, the day that the Orioles purchased his contract. He's playing third base.

Mark Trumbo is the designated hitter, with Pedro Alvarez sitting against Mariners left-hander Wade Miley.

The Orioles have hit 31 home runs at home this season, leading the American League and ranking second in the majors behind the Reds (32).

Former Oriole Nelson Cruz has reached base safely in 21 straight games at Camden Yards dating back to Aug. 28, 2014, the longest active streak at the ballpark. He's batting .367 (29-for-79) with eight doubles, four home runs, 13 RBIs, eight walks and 11 runs scored during the streak.
