It could be Souvenir Baseball Night down at the Skydome this evening --- both the Orioles and Jays can mash the ball, and neither starter (Omar Daal or Doug Davis) is likely to inspire much fear in the batter's box (the one on the field, that is). Daal did pitch decently his last time out against Toronto, but still yielded 3 runs and 9 baserunners in 5 innings (4 BBs, 1 K); he may not be able to dodge the bullet again tonight. Davis, for his part, continues to hang by a thread: with Mark Hendrickson solidifying his spot in the rotation lately, Doug has very little margin for error.
The big news: Shannon Stewart is back! Off the DL and starting in left field. The offensive juggernaut gets a little more jugged. And check it out: his summer replacement, Reed Johnson, bats right behind him and plays right field. I'm looking forward to seeing those two guys bat back-to-back. Josh Phelps and Dave Berg also return, from National-League- and dizziness-related causes, respectively.
