WASHINGTON - Center fielder Adam Jones remains out of the Orioles lineup tonight with back spasms. Junior Lake replaces him.

Nolan Reimold is leading off and playing left field. Steve Pearce is playing right field and serving as the cleanup hitter.

The Orioles' game notes include this gem from the PR department:

On this date in 1994, the "cotton uniforms" episode of Seinfeld first aired featuring manager Buck Showalter. Episode one of the sixth season (the 87th overall) is titled "The Chaperone," but we remember it for assistant traveling secretary George Costanza's suggestion that the Yankees replace their polyester uniforms with cotton.

As the note states, hilarity ensued.
