Matt Wieters remains out of the Orioles lineup tonight as they go for the four-game sweep against the Athletics. He hasn't played since Tuesday in Seattle due to a strained right hamstring.

Steve Clevenger continues to serve as the designated hitter. Henry Urrutia gets another start in left field.

Four Orioles collected at least three hits and three RBIs yesterday: Joseph, Manny Machado, Gerardo Parra and Adam Jones. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it's the first time in franchise history that the Orioles have accomplished the feat.

The last major league team to have such a game was the Royals on Sept. 9, 2004 in Detroit with Angel Berroa, Calvin Pickering, Dee Brown and Alberto Castillo.
