A six-game hitting streak isn't enough to get Ryan Flaherty in the Orioles' lineup tonight against the Cleveland Indians at Camden Yards. Alexi Casilla, who's 9-for-26 (.346) with a double, triple, home run and eight RBIs against Justin Masterson, is starting at second base. Catcher Matt Wieters is batting sixth after being lowered to seventh last night and hitting a home run.
