Orioles lineup vs. Phillies (Castro starting Wednesday)

Pedro Álvarez has returned to the Orioles lineup tonight after being day-to-day with tightness in his right hamstring.

Álvarez is starting at third base as the Orioles begin a two-game series against the Phillies - weather permitting, of course.

Mark Trumbo is in right field and Chance Sisco is catching. Jace Peterson is playing third base.

Andrew Cashner has made 13 career appearances against the Phillies, including seven starts, and gone 4-1 with a 2.55 ERA and 1.095 WHIP in 49 1/3 innings. He tossed a two-hit shutout on Sept. 15, 2014 while pitching for the Padres.

Odúbel Herrera is 6-for-14 (.429) with two home runs lifetime against Cashner. César Hernández is 5-for-11 (.455) with a triple. Maikel Franco is 2-for-11 (.182).

The Phillies are starting right-hander Nick Pivetta, a former fourth-round pick of the Nationals who was acquired for closer Jonathan Papelbon. He's 2-2 with a 4.15 ERA and 1.256 WHIP in eight starts and is averaging 9.7 strikeouts per nine innings.

Left-handers are hitting .310 against Pivetta and right-handers are hitting .221.

Peterson is the only current Oriole to face Pivetta, collecting a single and walk in two plate appearances.

According to STATS, the Orioles on Sunday were the fourth team in major league history with a winning percentage of .300 or below to win a game by 15 or more runs. The last team to do it was the Indians, who were 3-8 on April 18, 2009 when they defeated the Yankees 22-4.
