It's Flaherty's turn to DH

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Three games, three different designated hitters. Orioles manager Buck Showalter is shuffling the DH deck again today, going from Steve Pearce on Tuesday to Nolan Reimold yesterday to Ryan Flaherty this afternoon in the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. Nate McLouth remains in the leadoff spot. For the Orioles Nate McLouth LF Manny Machado 3B Nick Markakis RF Adam Jones CF Chris Davis 1B Matt Wieters C J.J. Hardy SS Ryan Flaherty DH Brian Roberts 2B Miguel Gonzalez RHP Roberts has started the season with consecutive multi-hit games for the first time in his career. He has 390 multi-hit games, one behind Boog Powell for fourth place on the franchise's all-time list. In the first two games of this series, the Orioles' 3-4-5 hitters are batting .480 (12-for-25) with five doubles, three homers, 11 RBIs and nine runs scored. For the Rays Desmond Jennings CF Matt Joyce LF Ben Zobrist RF Evan Longoria 3B Shelley Duncan DH Yunel Escobar SS James Loney 1B Jose Molina C Ryan Roberts 2B Roberto Hernandez RHP Nice trivia question today from Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times: Hernandez ends a streak of 1,060 games started by Rays pitchers 30 and under. Name the last hurler over 30 to start a game for them. Wait for it... Wait for it... Mark Hendrickson.
