BRADENTON, Fla. – Jackson Holliday is starting at shortstop tonight, as the Orioles head to LECOM Park for another game against the Pirates.
Manager Brandon Hyde indicated that Holliday could make a start at short with Gunnar Henderson unable to play since Feb. 27 due to a strained right intercostal. This is one of them.
Holliday made three appearances (one start) at short with the Orioles last season.
Jordan Westburg is playing third base. Ramón Urías sliders over to second base. Ryan O’Hearn is at first.
Samuel Basallo is catching. Heston Kjerstad is the right fielder.
Matt Bowman makes his first start tonight. He’s had three relief appearances and allowed two earned runs (three total) in three innings.
Félix Bautista is expected to make his third appearance. He retired all three batters faced in his debut and allowed a run and two hits with a walk and strikeout Friday in Lakeland.
The Orioles are 0-4 against the Pirates, who send Mitch Keller to the mound.
The game airs on MASN.
