Orioles/Rays series opener
Greetings from Tropicana Field, where the Orioles will try to stop the Rays from clinching a playoff spot. Although, Tampa Bay’s magic number is one, so a Red Sox loss would also give them a postseason ticket, so part of that is out of the O’s hands.
As expected, manager Buck Showalter has the Orioles best lineup out in the “competitive spirit.”
ORIOLES LINEUP:
Brian Roberts 2B
Nick Markakis RF
Ty Wigginton 3B
Luke Scott 1B
Corey Patterson (DH)
Adam Jones CF
Matt Wieters C
Felix Pie LF
Cesar Izturis SS
Brian Matusz LHP
Britt Ghiroli
