Orioles and Yankees lineups

The X-rays taken on Renato Núñez's left hand last night were negative and he's in today's lineup as the first baseman.

The Orioles also will try to break their three-game losing streak with Pat Valaika at shortstop and José Iglesias as the designated hitter.

Ryan Mountcastle moves up to third in the order, followed by catcher Pedro Severino.

Dean Kremer is making his second major league start after holding the Yankees to one run and one hit over six innings in his debut last weekend at Camden Yards.

Yankees left-hander Jordan Montgomery is making his eighth start this season. He's worked a combined four innings in his last two outings, with six runs and 11 hits allowed.

Right-handed hitters are slashing .313/.352/.566 against Montgomery this season and left-handers are batting .229/.289/.314.

Montgomery has registered a 3.45 ERA and 1.436 WHIP in six career starts against the Orioles. The most recent was April 8, 2018, when he surrendered four runs and 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings.

The other five starts came in 2017 during his rookie season.
