Davis in tonight's lineup, Urrutia is not (with Rangers lineup)

Chris Davis remains at first base for the Orioles tonight after fouling a ball off his right ankle last night and playing in obvious pain. Henry Urrutia is on the bench against Rangers left-hander Martin Perez, with Danny Valencia serving as the designated hitter. Since June 25, 2012, Chris Tillman is 20-6 and has the second-highest winning percentage (.769) among American League starters, trailing only Max Scherzer (23-3, .885). Tillman is 8-1 in 10 starts since May 24, tying him with Bartolo Colon (8-1) for the most wins in the majors over that span. Tillman's 8.38 runs of support per game in those outings is the most in the majors. For the Orioles Nate McLouth LF Manny Machado 3B Nick Markakis RF Adam Jones CF Chris Davis 1B Matt Wieters C J.J.

The Orioles are 15-8 (.652) vs. the American League West this season, their second-best winning percentage (32-12, .727 in 1997) against the West since each league went to three divisions in 1994. In the last seven games since July 10, the Orioles have gone 6-1 and their starting pitchers have earned each decision, posting a 3.13 ERA in 46 innings with six quality starts.
