Cedric Mullins Out Against Right-Hander
Cedric Mullins is starting Tuesday's game against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals at Camden Yards on the bench in favor of Jorge Mateo in center field. Mateo will bat seventh against Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante. Mullins will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games, which have all come against right-handed pitchers. It comes with the 30-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder struggling at the plate in May with a .163 average (13-for-80) with four homers, four doubles, 11 RBI, two steals, six runs, three walks and 25 strikeouts in 21 games played. Mullins is hitting only .226 (40-for-177) on the year but has double-digit homers (10) and has swiped seven bags as the team's primary center fielder. Mateo has stolen 10 bases in 47 at-bats but has no homers and is currently hitting under .200.
