Orioles' lineup tonight includes Hyun Soo Kim

Tyler Wilson makes his first start of the 2016 season tonight and his sixth in the majors, as the Orioles continue their series in Kansas City.

Wilson has never faced the Royals, who did all of their scoring last night in the first two innings in a 4-2 victory.

Hyun-Soo-Kim-swing-orange-spring-sidebar.jpgHyun Soo Kim is in left field tonight, his first start since April 13, with Joey Rickard moving to right and Mark Trumbo serving as the designated hitter. Pedro Alvarez, in a 4-for-34 slump, is on the bench.

Right-hander Kris Medlen is 1-0 with a 2.38 ERA in two starts this season. He's allowed only three earned runs in 11 innings, but he's also walked eight batters.

Adam Jones is 3-for-4 with a home run against Medlen, and Manny Machado is 1-for-3 with a double.

Machado will try to extend his career-high 15 game hitting streak. He's collected an extra-base hit in six consecutive games.

Jonathan Schoop is hitless in his last 17 at-bats.

The Orioles are starting Kevin Gausman, Ubaldo Jimenez and Chris Tillman for the three-game series against the Rays that begins Monday at Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay is listing Chris Archer, Jake Odorizzi and Matt Moore.

Down on the farm, opponents are 0-for-17 with 12 strikeouts in reliever Chaz Roe's last five outings for Triple-A Norfolk.

On this date in 1989, Orioles starter Bob Milacki faced the minimum 27 batters despite allowing five baserunners in a 3-0 win over the Twins at Memorial Stadium. Milacki gave up three hits and walked two batters, but the Orioles turned four double plays and threw out a runner attempting to steal.
