OK, the "Nelson Cruz is back" storyline is so yesterday.
So what's today's storyline at Camden Yards?
Wei-Yin Chen continuing to pitch well -- and specifically pitch well against Seattle?
Chris Davis staying in the starting lineup despite his recent woes and a lefty on the mound?
Jimmy Paredes needing six plate appearances today to officially qualify for the batting race?
Steve Pearce in left field and Rey Navarro getting a start at second base -- perhaps his last before being sent back to Triple-A this weekend if Everth Cabrera comes off the disabled list?
Frankly, we don't know yet. But, as manager Buck Showalter likes to say, our curiosity will be satisfied.
Here are the lineups:
Mariners: Weeks DH, Bloomquist 7, Cano 4, Cruz 9, Seager 5, Ruggiano 8, Morrison 3, Zunino 2, Taylor 6. Elias 1.
Orioles: Machado 5, Paredes DH, Jones 8, Young 9, Davis 3, Pearce 7, Hardy 6, Joseph 2, Navarro 4. Chen 1.
