Orioles and Blue Jays lineups, All-Star balloting

Jordan Westburg is starting at second base tonight and Connor Norby is out of the lineup after homering last night for his first major league hit.

Norby is the 12^th player in club history whose first hit is a home run.

Ramón Urías is playing third base. Kyle Stowers is in left field, Cedric Mullins is in center and Ryan O’Hearn is in right.

Anthony Santander is the designated hitter.

Ryan Mountcastle homered twice last night and is 29-for-91 (.319) with seven doubles, eight home runs, 26 RBIs and a 1.044 OPS in 24 career games at Rogers Centre.

Adley Rutschman extended his hitting streak to eight games last night and his on-base streak to 12. He’s 12-for-34 (.353) with a double, home run, seven RBIs and a .865 OPS during his hitting streak.

Gunnar Henderson has a seven-game hitting streak. He ranks seventh in the majors with a .957 OPS.

Per STATS, Albert Suárez is holding left-handed hitters to a .063 average and .125 slugging percentage on the road. They’re batting .258 with a .452 slugging percentage at Camden Yards.

Last night’s outcome guaranteed that the Orioles would run their streak of non-losing series against division opponents to 20. They can’t do worse than a split in Toronto.

The Orioles are 13-4 against the American League East and 17-8 on the road.

The Yankees remain 2 ½ games ahead of the Orioles (39-20).

The Orioles lead the majors with a .446 slugging percentage.

Right-hander José Berríos has made 12 starts this season and registered a 2.78 ERA and 1.076 WHIP over 74 1/3 innings. He’s registered 10 quality starts, including four in a row.

Berríos faced the Orioles on May 13 and held them to two runs in seven innings – a pair of Rutschman homers. He’s 10-1 with a 2.95 ERA and 1.055 WHIP in 15 career starts against the Orioles.

Rutschman is 12-for-19 with two doubles and three homers against Berríos. James McCann is 8-for-24 with two doubles, four home runs and 10 RBIs. O’Hearn is 8-for-28 with two doubles and two home runs. Mullins is 7-for-26 with three doubles and a home run.

Mountcastle is 2-for-19 with two homers. Henderson is 3-for-18 with six strikeouts.
