Glen Burnie Native Steve Clevenger to Make Orioles Debut

Glen Burnie native Steve Clevenger will make his Orioles debut Friday night behind the plate in Toronto, The Baltimore Sun reports.

The catcher, who was acquired earlier this season from the Chicago Cubs with pitcher Scott Feldman, gets the start with pitcher Jason Hammel (in his first start off the disabled list) and will bat ninth against the Blue Jays.

In eight games with the Chicago Cubs this season, Clevenger had just eight at-bats with one hit and a walk before injuring himself on a strikeout in April. Clevenger batted .324 in 20 games with Triple-A Norfolk, with 2 HR and 11 RBI.

Clevenger graduated Mount St. Joseph High School in 2004 and was taken by the Cubs in the seventh round of the 2006 draft, while a student at Chipola College in Florida. He made his major league debut for the Cubs in 2011.
