Orioles/Nats Game 2

Brad Bergesen will look for his fourth win today against right-hander Craig Stammen. The O’s could secure the Beltway series with a win this afternoon…

*Adam Jones and Matt Wieters are both back in the lineup as expected.
*Manager Dave Trembley wasn’t sure if Koji Uehara would be available for today’s game. When he met with the media, Trembley still had to check with pitching coach Rick Kranitz. That’s a situation that could cause some concern. Koji has had three days off in between his last outing in Texas and yesterday didn’t even pick up a ball. Meredith has gone 3 straight, Ohman leads the AL in appearances and Berken threw 74 pitches behind Matusz the other night. The O’s pen badly needs Uehara to be available.
