Orioles, Tim Beckham not concerned about slow start at the plate for new third baseman

Tim Beckham was put back at third base Tuesday after a sojourn from the position this weekend, an attempt to provide him with some consistency as he looks to give the Orioles the same.

It's been a slow start to the season at the plate for Beckham, who swapped positions with Manny Machado from his preferred spot at shortstop to a new role at the hot corner.

But that has nothing to do with the struggles that have the Orioles last in the majors in production from third base. Beckham blames his plate discipline. Manager Buck Showalter chalks it up to the weather.
