Orioles lineup vs. Nationals
By Roch Kubatko
Steve Pearce is giving the outfield another shot tonight, starting in left against the Nationals.
Hyun Soo Kim isn't in the lineup, an interesting development against rookie right-hander Reynaldo Lopez. Pearce will bat second tonight.
Mark Trumbo is the 11th player since 1974 to have home runs account for his last seven hits. Mark McGwire has the longest streak with 11 in 2001.
Major League Baseball announced its 2016 postseason schedule, opening with the American League wild card game on Oct. 4, followed by the National League equivalent one night later.
The AL Division Series begins Oct. 6, with the NLDS a day later. The AL Championship Series starts on Oct. 14, followed by the NLCS the following day.
TBS will air every AL game until the World Series.
Game 1 of the World Series is slated for Oct. 25, and the Orioles would be home if they get there. Games 6 and 7, if necessary, would be played Nov. 1-2 in the AL ballpark.
