Pearce is starting at first base and batting second Monday against the Orioles, Steve Carney of 620 WDAE reports.

Analysis:

Pearce will get the start for the second night in a row after going 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs. It's interesting to note, however, that he's getting the nod against a right-handed starter (Kevin Gausman) while Logan Morrison sits. Although the RBI opportunities may not be as frequent while he's hitting out of the two-hole, he could be in line for some runs hitting in front of Evan Longoria and Corey Dickerson.
