According to the Pirates beat writer, Jenifer Langosch, the Orioles will also be having Clay Rapada and Josh Rupe pitch today.

She also says these two guys for the Pirates: J. Wilson and C. Valdez

This is a split-squad game for the Pirates. Sadly, in their other game, at the Rays, Garrett Atkins is starting. That means we won't get to face him today.

Looking at the lineup...Reynolds in the 3 hole? This has to change when Derrek Lee returns.

27 mph gusts blowing out to center field, so we could see some bombs today.

Looking at the lineup...Reynolds in the 3 hole? This has to change when Derrek Lee returns.

My guess would be Reynolds moves to the 5-hole and Lee moves to the #3 spot.

[J-twiggy]

I can't get it switched to the 2 live Stu's and these two are giving me a headache

[BuckMagic]

Felix Pie legs out a double...great way to start off ST for him if he wants to beat out Reimold for the backup OF spot. Seemed to have the early lead, even before that double.

Broadcasters discussing the thought in Reyonolds' mind: "Don't strikeout in my first at-bat as an Oriole."

[Jordan Tuwiner]

Renyolds grounds out in his first at-bat as an Oriole.
