Orioles and Athletics lineups (McFarland recalled)

Orioles and Athletics lineups (McFarland recalled)
Gerardo Parra moves to right field tonight for the first time since joining the Orioles, who are attempting to win for the ninth time in 11 games. Travis Snider is starting in left field and Chris Davis is playing first base. Jimmy Paredes, the right fielder last night, is serving as the designated hitter. The Orioles are 46-13 when they score more than four runs and 46-27 when they homer. The Orioles have homered in 10 straight games to raise their total to 134, which ranks fourth in the...

Chris Davis following his own act from 2013 (and other notes)

Chris Davis following his own act from 2013 (and other notes)
Chris Davis is on such a roll these days, he's resembling the 2013 version of himself. Davis belted a three-run homer in the first inning last night to point the Orioles toward a 9-2 victory in Oakland. He's collected six home runs and 19 RBIs in his last 10 games. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last Oriole to do so was also Davis in his first 10 games of the 2013 season. Over the last 30 seasons, the only other players to do so for the Orioles were Albert Belle in June 2000 and...

Miguel Gonzalez trying to follow Tyler Wilson's lead

Miguel Gonzalez trying to follow Tyler Wilson's lead
The West Coast trip is off to a good start, with the Orioles scoring the first six runs last night in a 9-2 victory over the Athletics. The Orioles have won eight of their last 10 games. They're tied with the Blue Jays and Twins for the second wild card and trail the Yankees by 5 1/2 games in the American League East. Still not selling. It was just a typical night for the Orioles with Tyler Wilson getting the win and Mychal Givens retiring all four batters he faced with three strikeouts. I'm...

Chris Davis continues his power display

Chris Davis continues his power display
Is anyone still bothered by Chris Davis' strikeout total? Davis drilled a three-run homer in the first inning tonight in Oakland to stake rookie Tyler Wilson to an early lead. Adam Jones added an RBI double off Jesse Chavez in the third that scored Gerardo Parra, who showed a good eye at the plate while drawing a walk, and Caleb Joseph hit a two-run homer in the fourth for a 6-0 lead. (I'm more impressed with Parra handing his bat and shin guard to the bat boy instead of dropping them at the...

West Coast trip presents next challenge for Orioles

West Coast trip presents next challenge for Orioles
The Orioles can't avoid it any longer. The dreaded West Coast trip is upon them. Three cities and nine games in 10 days. It's always a grind, no matter how the opponents are playing. A travel day would have been nice, but the folks making out the schedule aren't doing the Orioles any favors. They boarded a flight last night for Oakland and begin a three-game series tonight. The Orioles were 2-4 against the Athletics last season, going 1-2 in both ballparks. They were outscored...

Jorge Rondon optioned, Buck Showalter on 6-1 loss

Jorge Rondon optioned, Buck Showalter on 6-1 loss
Tyler Wilson is the confirmed starter for Monday night's series opener in Oakland. Jorge Rondon, who tossed 3 1/3 scoreless innings today in his Orioles debut, has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk to make room on the 25-man roster. Manager Buck Showalter summed up the reasons why the Orioles had to settle for a split of their four-game series with the Tigers, why they kept falling behind early and making it more difficult to compete. "They're a good offensive team," he said, "and we...

Orioles facing another early deficit (O's lose 6-1)

Orioles facing another early deficit (O's lose 6-1)
Last night was the exception. The Orioles are off to another slow start today against the Tigers. Once again, the Orioles are behind in the first inning. The saving grace is the Tigers' bullpen. No lead is really safe. J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer off Ubaldo Jimenez after Jose Iglesias singled and Ian Kinsler walked with one out. Jimenez grooved a 1-2 pitch down the middle of the plate, and the ball landed in the Orioles bullpen. Martinez exited last night's game after fouling a ball...

Looking ahead and back

Looking ahead and back
The Orioles were supposed to face veteran David Price this afternoon in the series finale against the Tigers that leads into a three-city West Coast trip. They're getting a left-hander. It's just a different one. Price was traded to the Blue Jays for a package that included elite pitching prospect Daniel Norris, who takes the mound today at Camden Yards. Norris is 1-1 with a 4.20 ERA in 10 major league games over two seasons, including six starts. He's 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in five starts this...

Showalter speaks after 6-2 win

Showalter speaks after 6-2 win
The Orioles have won seven of their last eight games and are within five of the Yankees for first place in the American League East. The Twins rallied tonight to defeat the Mariners and stay one game ahead of the Orioles for the second wild card. Buckle up. Kevin Gausman held the Tigers to two runs over seven innings, Brad Brach worked two scoreless, and Caleb Joseph and Manny Machado homered in a 6-2 victory before a sellout crowd of 45,968 at Camden Yards. Brach hasn't allowed a run in his...

Gerardo Parra officially becomes 1,000th Oriole (O's win 6-2)

Gerardo Parra officially becomes 1,000th Oriole (O's win 6-2)
Orioles starter Kevin Gausman delivered his first pitch tonight at 7:07 p.m., a ball to Tigers leadoff hitter Anthony Gose, and left fielder Gerardo Parra officially became the 1,000th player to appear in a game in team history. He celebrated by extending his hitting streak to 15 games with a double to right field. The guy really knows how to rise up to the occasion. A capacity crowd gave Parra a standing ovation as he stepped into the box following Manny Machado's leadoff single. The double...

Showalter on Parra: "Everybody tells me he loves to win"

Showalter on Parra: "Everybody tells me he loves to win"
Outfielder Steve Pearce and pitcher Mike Wright will fly down to Sarasota on Sunday to rehab their respective injuries. Pearce is on the disabled list with a strained left oblique muscle, and Wright went on the DL today with a strained left calf. Manager Buck Showalter said he's hopeful that Wright can "make the DL period." Pearce is eligible to return on Monday, which isn't realistic. Showalter said he probably needs a starter for Monday while Chris Tillman recovers from a sprained left...

Showalter said he won't start Miguel Gonzalez on short rest. Gonzalez will pitch Tuesday night. Tyler Wilson could be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and named Monday night's starter. It...

Mike Wright on DL, Jorge Rondon recalled
The Orioles have placed pitcher Mike Wright on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left calf muscle and recalled right-handed reliever Jorge Rondon from Triple-A Norfolk. Wright replaced starter Wei-Yin Chen in the fourth inning last night and exited in the fifth. The club hoped that Wright was experiencing cramps in his calf, but an MRI this morning revealed the strain. Wright was recalled yesterday from Norfolk after the Orioles traded reliever Tommy Hunter to the Cubs for minor league...

Ditching deadlines and getting back to baseball

Ditching deadlines and getting back to baseball
The Orioles won last night for the sixth time in seven games. They gained ground in the wild card race. And they still need to regroup. The non-waiver trade deadline has passed, though plenty of deals are struck in August. It's mostly a superficial deadline that doesn't warrant a countdown clock and mass hysteria. Players now must pass through waivers before being traded, which isn't an uncommon occurrence. But back to the regrouping. ... They need to finish coming to grips with the Tommy...

Mike Wright may have strained calf muscle
Rookie pitcher Mike Wright may have strained his left calf muscle tonight. He's expected to undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, and the Orioles may be forced to call up another reliever. Wright limped off the field in the top of the fifth inning of the Orioles' 8-7 victory over the Tigers before 36,985 at Camden Yards. The club announced that he was bothered by a cramp, but it may be more serious. "Initially, we thought it was a cramp," said manager Buck...
