Orioles lineup versus Brewers (updated)
By Roch Kubatko
Orioles manager Buck Showalter is sticking with the same lineup tonight, which includes Nick Hundley behind the plate and Jonathan Schoop at second base.
Nothing to see here except familiarity.
Pitchers Bud Norris and Yovani Gallardo were used as pinch-hitters last night at Miller Park. Gallardo delivered a walk-off double in the 10th inning off Orioles left-hander T.J. McFarland.
Tonight, they oppose each other on the mound.
According to Elias, Tom Browning and John Smoltz were the last two pitchers to pinch-hit in a game and start against each other the following night. It happened on July 29, 1989.
