So much for the duplicate lineups we've been seeing around here.
Robert Andino is batting second tonight against Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia.
Steve Tolleson is serving as the designated hitter and
Taylor Teagarden is behind the plate.
For the Orioles:
Nick Markakis RF
Robert Andino 2B
J.J. Hardy SS
Adam Jones CF
Mark Reynolds 1B
Lew Ford LF
Manny Machado 3B
Steve Tolleson DH
Taylor Teagarden C
Joe Saunders LHP
Andino is 8-for-20 with a double and home run lifetime against Sabathia. Jones is 13-for-38 (.342) with a double, triple, three homers and 10 RBIs. Hardy is 4-for-11.
Ford is 7-for-36 (.194) with a triple and home run.
The black clouds are rolling in and the forecast is awful. A sell-out crowd is expected and the
Orioles will do everything possible to play tonight. Otherwise, we're looking at a split doubleheader on Sunday.
