Davis ties game and continues tear (Hardy gives O's 3-1 lead)
NEW YORK - I'm talking about the good kind of tear here. Chris Davis hit another home run tonight, his fourth in the last seven games, to tie the score at 1-1. He connected off Yankees starter Phil Hughes with one out in the second. Davis is 8-for-18 with a double, four homers and nine RBIs in his last seven games. He's batting .319 with five homers and 13 RBIs on the season. The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the first on Curtis Granderson's home run off left-hander Brian Matusz. The ball...

The rap on Reynolds (and more on Wada and Tillman)

Orioles
The rap on Reynolds (and more on Wada and Tillman)
NEW YORK - Orioles manager Buck Showalter indicated earlier today that Mark Reynolds will return to the lineup tomorrow against the Yankees, and also will play in the Red Sox series that begins Friday. Tonight is another rest period for Reynolds, in part because Showalter is trying to get Nick Johnson on track. Reynolds needs to do the same. He's batting .143 and hasn't hit a home run after totaling 37 last season. He hadn't gone a full month without homering since September...

Showalter talks about Reimold and more
NEW YORK - Manager Buck Showalter updated reporters on Nolan Reimold's tingling fingers and Tsuyoshi Wada's aching left elbow. Showalter confirmed that Reimold has a bulging disk in his back and won't play in the last two games of this series. The Orioles are hoping that Reimold joins them in Boston for the three-game series that begins on Friday. "They're trying a Medrol Dosepack to see if they can get the swelling down," Showalter said. "There's the potential that he could join us...

Reimold has bulging disk in back, Wada update
NEW YORK - Outfielder Nolan Reimold won't make another appearance in this series after an examination in Baltimore today revealed a bulging disk in his back. Reimold is taking a Medrol Dosepack to reduce the inflammation and could rejoin the team in Boston. There are no current plans to place him on the disabled list. Reimold complained of a tingling sensation in his fingers after last night's 2-1 loss to the Yankees. He's previously received treatment and missed games due to stiffness in...

Orioles postpone Brooks Robinson ceremony
NEW YORK - The Orioles announced today that the Brooks Robinson sculpture unveiling originally scheduled for Saturday, May 12 has been postponed until Saturday, Sept. 29. Robinson's sculpture was supposed to be the second one unveiled in the bullpen area after Frank Robinson's ceremony on Saturday. "I am sorry I am unable to be there for the originally scheduled unveiling of the Brooks Robinson statue," Robinson, who turns 75 on May 18, said in a statement. "My wife, family and I have...

Reimold returns to Baltimore, Presley spends night in hospital
NEW YORK - The Orioles could be a man short for tonight's game against the Yankees. They also might not have their hitting coach in the dugout. Outfielder Nolan Reimold boarded a train back to Baltimore this morning after complaining of a tingling sensation in his fingertips. Head athletic trainer Richie Bancells checked out Reimold and recommended that he be examined by team physicians. The discomfort is believed to be related to the neck stiffness that recently kept Reimold out of the...

Orioles
It's Matusz vs. Hughes tonight
NEW YORK - The sky looks like it could open up any second and drench us in heavy rains, but tonight's game doesn't appear to be in jeopardy. Brian Matusz could use a break in the clouds - the black ones that have hovered over him since spring training 2011. Matusz has lost 12 consecutive decisions, but he's coming off his finest start, allowing two unearned runs over six innings against the Blue Jays. Rays of sunlight are beginning to reach him. He's also 2-2 with a 3.67 ERA and four...

The DH dilemma

Orioles
The DH dilemma
NEW YORK - Mark Reynolds served as the Orioles' designated hitter last night and was hitless in three at-bats in a 2-1 loss to the Yankees. In 23 games this season, the Orioles' designated hitters are a combined 18-for-80 (.225) with three doubles, one home run and three RBIs. Reynolds has done it, and he's batting .143 with no homers and three RBIs this season. Nick Johnson has done it, and he's 0-for-26 this season. Chris Davis has done it, and he's batting .310 with six doubles,...

Hearing from Hammel, Davis and Markakis

Orioles
Hearing from Hammel, Davis and Markakis
NEW YORK - Tonight's 2-1 loss dropped the Orioles' record to 11-5 when they score first. The key is to keep scoring, which they failed to do after tallying one run in the second inning. The Orioles are 5-17 against the Yankees since the start of the 2011 season and 10-30 since the start of 2010. They're 6-22 at the "current" Yankee Stadium, as it's called in the postgame notes. The bullpen turned in two more scoreless innings - one each by Matt Lindstrom and Jim Johnson. Jason Hammel...

Showalter speaks after 2-1 loss
NEW YORK - The Orioles are 0-4 against the Yankees this season and 14-4 against the rest of their April schedule. They had plenty of chances tonight, but every ball they hit hard seemed to find a glove, except for Matt Wieters' long single in the second inning. "We squared up, I think, eight balls, but you've got to applaud their defense, too. They caught them," manager Buck Showalter said following a 2-1 loss at Yankee Stadium. "Some nights, it happens like that. We won a ballgame...

Hammel and Bundy updates (Hammel done after sixth)
NEW YORK - Jason Hammel was handed a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning, but Eric Chavez snatched it away from him. Chavez used brute force, hitting a long two-run homer off Hammel in the bottom of the second after Mark Teixeira singled and Raul Ibanez lined to right. Hammel didn't bother to turn and watch the flight of the ball. He stared straight ahead and raised his glove, waiting for a new ball. Chavez has three home runs this season, his highest total since 2007. Hammel has...

Non-update updates on Wada and Roberts, Showalter on No. 1,000

Non-update updates on Wada and Roberts, Showalter on No. 1,000
NEW YORK - Dr. Lewis Yocum examined Tsuyoshi Wada's left elbow today in Los Angeles, and the Orioles are waiting for the results. We might hear something later today. Wada is seeking a second opinion, and he's conceded that he might need to undergo ligament-reconstructive surgery. The Orioles still haven't set a target date for second baseman Brian Roberts to start playing games at extended spring training or go on an injury rehab assignment in the minors. "He's progressing well. Little...

Jim Johnson says he's available to pitch
NEW YORK - Jim Johnson has thrown two bullpen sessions since being hospitalized with food poisoning and flu-like symptoms, and he's available to pitch if manager Buck Showalter needs him. Johnson hasn't made an appearance since April 22 in Anaheim, when he converted his 15th straight save opportunity dating to last August, but he confirmed earlier today that he's "pitchable." "I'm ready. I told them I was ready yesterday," he said. "I feel back to normal. My pants fit a little bit...

Orioles
Will the Orioles take a big bite out of the Big Apple?
Or will they find a worm? The Orioles are back on the road, with three games in New York and three in Boston over a seven-day period that will further test their resolve. And their rotation. And their lineup. And their bullpen. And their depth. Jason Hammel will have another chance tonight to silence his critics - the ones who thought he'd get eaten alive in the insatiable American League East. He's 3-0 with a 1.73 ERA in four outings. He's posted quality starts in three of them. Hammel...

Showalter speaks after 5-2 walk-off win

Orioles
Showalter speaks after 5-2 walk-off win
The Orioles are six games above .500 for the first time since July 20, 2005. That's impressive and depressing at the same time. Wilson Betemit gave the Orioles their first walk-off home run since Nolan Reimold on Aug. 10, 2011 against the White Sox. The Orioles have won 57 straight games when allowing two runs or fewer. Their last loss was Aug. 20, 2010, when Texas beat them 2-0. The Orioles improved to 5-6 when trailing after seven innings. Last year, they were 5-83 when behind after the...

Orioles
And we're no longer scoreless (Betemit with walk-off HR)
Tommy Hunter took a four-hit shutout into the sixth inning today, one more hit than Oakland's Bartolo Colon allowed in his five scoreless frames. Hunter retired the first two batters on fly balls, but Josh Reddick continued to torture the Orioles with a single into left field, and Yoenis Cespedes smoked a line drive into the left field corner that gave him a double and the A's a 1-0 lead. Third baseman Wilson Betemit made a leaping attempt, but the ball barely cleared his glove. It probably...

Orioles
Showalter talks about putting Reynolds at first base (updated)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter detests lineup questions. He can't understand the obsession with who's batting where and when. It's become something of a joke. He doesn't implode, but he shakes his head in disapproval. Well, here's another one: What went into the decision to move Mark Reynolds to first base today? "He's played first base, he's been taking balls there. I know you've all been watching," Showalter said. "That's the type of club we have, hopefully. Move people...
