The Orioles had their winning streak snapped at six games late last night with a 5-4 loss to the Athletics in Sacramento. They went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10. Interim manager Tony Mansolino used four relievers to cover 2 2/3 scoreless innings, but the bullpen is unchanged again after the Orioles acquired Scott Blewett

The Nationals approached the precipice of a .500 record thanks to a suddenly resurgent offensive attack that put up historic numbers over a stretch of four late-night games on the West Coast last week. If they’re ever going to get themselves over that elusive threshold, they’re going to have to come up with examples of some more consistent offensiv

Officially, Josiah Gray was in town for the Nationals Youth Academy’s graduation ceremony, an annual event the right-hander never misses as the team’s designated ambassador for its premier charitable outlet. But if the right-hander was going to be here for the weekend anyway, might as well enjoy every moment he had at the ballpark and feel like a m

Nobody who steps onto the field this afternoon will be able to claim he’s tired, not after Friday night’s game was completed in a record-tying, 1 hour and 50 minutes. Shoot, the sun hadn’t even set when Kyle Finnegan recorded the final out of the Nationals’ 2-0 victory over the Rangers. So everyone should be well-rested for today’s 4:05 p.m. contes

The mere mention of it caused Bryan Baker to tilt back his head and laugh. A selection to the All-Star Game? Baker will hold runners if they can actually reach base against him, but he won’t hold his breath. “I don’t know about all that,” he said. “That’s a tough road.” Baker has traveled a few in his professional lifetime. He’s learned how to fold

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Orioles had gone two consecutive series without allowing four earned runs or more. They, of course, won all six of those games.  Tonight, Baltimore allowed four earned runs by the end of the third inning. The offense couldn't find the right hits, and the O's fell 5-4 to the Athletics, snapping Baltimore's six-game winn

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Orioles roster had a shakeup this afternoon, but it wasn’t the one that most had expected.  Jordan Westburg has been tearing the cover off the ball in six games in Triple-A Norfolk, but his return will most likely wait until after this road trip. “You’ll see Westy play these next couple days most likely,” interim manag

Patrick Corbin was very good in his return to Nationals Park. Michael Soroka and the Nationals bullpen were better. Despite watching their former teammate churn out the kind of effective start he rarely provided them the last five seasons – eight innings of two-run ball – the Nats managed to plate a couple of runs off the left-hander, then rode Sor

Gunnar Henderson is out of the Orioles lineup tonight in Sacramento, with Jorge Mateo starting at shortstop against Athletics left-hander JP Sears. Ramón Laureano, reinstated today from the 10-day injured list, is batting third as the designated hitter. Colton Cowser returns to the lineup and is in center field. Coby Mayo is playing first base. Ram

Jacob Young is back playing center field for the Nationals, bumping Robert Hassell III to right field and Daylen Lile to the minors. Young was officially activated off the 10-day injured list today, ready to return just shy of three weeks after spraining the AC joint in his left shoulder trying to make a leaping catch at the wall in Baltimore.
