Casilla in Orioles lineup

Alexi Casilla is leading off and playing third base today in his return to the Orioles. He didn't play third at Triple-A Norfolk this season and is making just his third start at third in the majors. Christian Walker is playing first base. Jonathan Schoop is starting at second base. Steve Pearce is in right field. Nick Markakis is on the bench. Wei-Yin Chen could become the first Orioles left-hander to win 17 or more games in a season since Jeff Ballard won 18 games in 1989. Chen has lost just three times (13-3) over his last 24 starts since May 9. He's walked a total of just 26 hitters over that stretch, the fifth-best walks per nine innings ratio in the league behind Phil Hughes (0.51), Hisashi Iwakuma (1.10), David Price (1.44) and Matt Shoemaker (1.53). Chen is 1-2 with a 6.32 ERA in three starts against Toronto. He allowed four earned runs and eight hits in five innings in his only start at Rogers Centre. Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion are each 3-for-6 with a home run against Chen. Nelson Cruz is 7-for-12 (.583) against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ. Pearce is 5-for-15 (.333) with two home runs. Kelly Johnson is 2-for-10 (.200), but both hits are home runs. He's on the bench today.
