The Orioles are facing a right-handed pitcher tonight and Pedro Alvarez is on the bench anyway. A move for defense, or a move signaling frustration with his season-opening slump?
A new game and a new lineup configuration has been the pattern for most of this season for the O's, but on Thursday night they're returning to a lineup they have used exactly one week ago. In fact, with Chris Tillman as the starting pitcher, it'll be the exact same team taking the field as on April 14 in Texas - just this time they'll be facing the Blue Jays in Baltimore.
