Pearce got the start in right field Sunday and went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored.

EDGE Analysis

The start is noteworthy because James Shields, a right-hander, was on the mound for the White Sox. It was assumed when the Orioles picked up Pearce at the trade deadline that he would be used primarily in a platoon role against lefties but he could be in line for a larger role, especially if he keeps hitting.
