Orioles and Pirates lineups and Yoon update

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles conclude a stretch of four consecutive scheduled home games today with a visit from the Pirates, who will serve as hosts Monday afternoon in Bradenton. Heavy rains forced the cancellation of Thursday's game, so it's three in a row at Ed Smith Stadium. The Orioles are 7-2 after taking both split-squad games yesterday. The standings are meaningless during the Grapefruit League season, but winning is better than losing, and you can quote me on it. Nelson Cruz is batting second today, with Nick Markakis dropping to fifth. Jonathan Schoop gets another start at second base, while Ryan Flaherty plays third. Adam Jones is serving as the designated hitter today. The Pirates are sending a split-squad to Sarasota, but there are some recognizable names in the lineup.
