Orioles and Cardinals lineups

Ubaldo Jimenez comes off the disabled list today to make his first start since July 5 in Boston. He joins an Orioles pitching staff that's registered a 2.80 ERA in 21 games since the All-Star break. Jimenez is 3-8 with a 4.52 ERA in 18 starts this season. He's 0-5 with a 10.55 ERA in five day games, which is why manager Buck Showalter slotted him to pitch the nightcap of the July 5 doubleheader at Fenway Park. jimenez-pitching-white-sidebar (1).pngCardinals right-hander John Lackey is 14-7 with a 3.70 ERA in 26 career starts against the Orioles and 6-4 with a 3.64 ERA in 12 outings at Camden Yards.
