Picture perfect

By Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff

It's gorgeous here at Camden Yards. It has cooled down a bit with a nice breeze floating through the open-air press box.

Nothing too exciting happening down in the clubhouse, but Eric Gagne was intently studying film for about 45 minutes. While he was sitting at the video set up near the exit to the clubhouse, four different guys (Josh Beckett, Jason Varitek, Tim Wakefield, and bullpen coach Gary Tuck) gave him a reassuring pat on the back or shoulder. Gagne told me that, after a bit of trouble getting to sleep, things are a little brighter this morning than they were last night.

Other than that, many of the guys in the clubhouse were watching the NESN broadcast of "Futures at Fenway" with Lowell playing at that point. Looked like a pitchers duel between Lowell and Hudson Valley.

All I've got left is the lineups, so here they are...

2. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
3. David Ortiz, DH
4. Manny Ramirez, LF
5. Mike Lowell, 3B
6. Jason Varitek, C
7. J.D. Drew, RF
8. Coco Crisp, CF
9. Julio Lugo, SS

SP - Josh Beckett

Orioles

1. Brian Roberts, 2B
2. Corey Patterson, CF
3. Nick Markakis, RF
4. Miguel Tejada, SS
5. Kevin Millar, 1B
6. Aubrey Huff, DH
7. Melvin Mora, 2B
8. Ramon Hernandez, C
9. Jay Payton, LF

SP - Garrett Olson
