Hyun Soo Kim is starting in left field tonight as the Orioles conclude their two-game series against the Pirates at Camden Yards.

Edwin Jackson arrived at Camden Yards and has a locker set up with a No. 28 jersey hanging in it, but the Orioles haven't announced the roster move.

Welington Castillo threw to the bases today before batting practice and said he's ready to come off the disabled list if the Orioles decide to activate him this weekend.

And yes, Caleb Joseph gave him a Kevlar protective cup.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Mark Trumbo joined Pat Kelly (1977) as the only Orioles with three walk-off RBIs within the first 30 home games. Trumbo leads the majors with three walk-offs this season.

Last night also marked the third time that Jonathan Schoop has hit a game-tying or go-ahead home run with the Orioles down by two runs or more in the ninth inning. No other player in the majors has three such home runs over the last three seasons, according to Elias.

Schoop leads the Orioles with 12 RBIs in the seventh inning or later.

Single-A Delmarva manager Ryan Minor recorded his 400th win last night.
