Nelson Cruz is starting in right field tonight and Nick Markakis is serving as the designated hitter, as the Orioles attempt to even their series against the Athletics. David Lough is in left field. Caleb Joseph is behind the plate and Ryan Flaherty is starting at second base. Update: As expected, the Orioles have officially optioned left-hander Tim Berry to Double-A Bowie to make room for right-hander Kevin Gausman, who starts tonight. Berry was called up for the first time Friday and did not pitch. For the Orioles Nick Markakis DH Manny Machado 3B Adam Jones CF Chris Davis 1B Nelson Cruz RF J.J.
