Hardy is 4-for-6 lifetime against Villanueva. Reynolds is 3-for-7 with a home run. Lee is 1-for-15.
In case you were wondering, right-handers are hitting .221 against Villanueva this season, while left-handers are batting .251. However, right-handers are hitting .251 against him lifetime, while left-handers are batting .242.
Also, Chris Tillman and Zach Britton will be the starters for Saturday's doubleheader in New York. That's the current plan.
The Orioles aren't expected to activate infielder Cesar Izturis from the disabled list before Sunday. He'll work out with the team in New York beginning tomorrow. He'll likely rejoin the 25-man roster after the doubleheader.
