Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Moving up to two hole Monday

Mullins will start in center field and bat second in Monday's game in Boston, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Mullins hadn't previously batted higher than fifth all season and that came back in April. The center fielder is 10-for-24 with a couple home runs so far in September and the Orioles want to see if he can spark them from higher in the batting order with his hot bat. Typical No. 2 hitter Adley Rutschman will hit fifth Monday.
