Orioles manager Buck Showalter has made an interesting adjustment to his lineup tonight, inserting Mark Reynolds as the designated hitter and starting Wilson Betemit at third base against Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow. This is Reynolds' first career start as the DH. Reynolds committed two errors in five games on the homestand. He started at third base in Wednesday's 10-inning loss to the Yankees. Reynolds sat out one game after fouling a ball off his left calf. For the Orioles: Nolan Reimold LF J.J. Hardy SS Nick Markakis RF Adam Jones CF Matt Wieters C Wilson Betemit 3B Mark Reynolds DH Chris Davis 1B Robert Andino 2B Tommy Hunter RHP NOTE: I'm not in Toronto, but I'm told Brian Roberts made the trip. He worked out on the field earlier today with Brady Anderson. Roberts also is expected to go to Chicago, but not Anaheim. For the Blue Jays: Yunel Escobar SS Kelly Johnson 2B Jose Bautista RF Adam Lind 1B Edwin Encarnacion DH Eric Thames LF Brett Lawrie 3B Colby Rasmus CF J.P. Arencibia C Brandon Morrow RHP
