Nolan Reimold is leading off tonight for the Orioles as they begin a three-game series against the Braves at Camden Yards.

Reimold owns a .339 (21-for-62) career batting average in the first inning. Tonight will mark his 21st major league start atop the order.

Reimold went 72 starts between three-hit games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He had a two-run double yesterday as part of a 3-for-3 afternoon at Tropicana Field.

Ryan Flaherty remains at first base. Chris Davis is in right field and Travis Snider is the designated hitter.

Matt Wieters is catching after being out of yesterday's lineup due to back tightness.

Shortstop J.J. Hardy is batting .313 (10-for-32) during a nine-game hitting streak, with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs.

Hardy also ranks second on the team and 12th in the American League with a .339 (20-for-59) average with runners in scoring position this season.
