Orioles lineup vs. Red Sox
Hyun Soo Kim is starting in left field tonight as the Orioles continue their series against the Red Sox. Trey Mancini is on the bench. He's hitting .343 (12-for-35) in 11 career games against the Red Sox. Jonathan Schoop is batting .324 (11-for-34) with three home runs, seven RBIs and seven runs scored against the Red Sox this season. His home run last night was his first this season against a left-hander. The Orioles have hit four or more home runs in five games this season, tying them with...

Coolbaugh on Machado's slump

Orioles
Coolbaugh on Machado's slump
It was a line drive up the middle last night that found the grass in center field for a two-out single in the first inning. Another ball died along the third base line in the sixth - big swing, short distance, another single. Pretty routine unless you're hitless in the last 18 at-bats and your average is down to .205. Manny Machado needed those singles last night. He needed something to go right for him at the plate. The baseball gods kissed his cheek instead of giving him a wet willy. The...

Miley's quality start and four home runs produce 7-5 win (updated)

Orioles
Miley's quality start and four home runs produce 7-5 win (updated)
Wade Miley broke through the fifth-inning wall. Chris Davis showed more signs of busting out of his slump. Manny Machado caught a break with an infield single that gave him two hits. The Orioles took an early lead and didn't crumble, riding Miley's quality start and four home runs to a 7-5 victory over the Red Sox before an announced crowd of 20,150 at Camden Yards. Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a three-run homer off left-hander Donnie Hart with two outs in the ninth to raise the tension level, but...

Orioles focus on own splits vs. Rodriguez (O's up 7-1)

Orioles
Orioles focus on own splits vs. Rodriguez (O's up 7-1)
The splits suggest that the Orioles should be stocking their lineup with left-handed hitters for tonight's series opener against the Red Sox. The splits belonging to left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, their former farmhand. Not necessarily the batters on the Orioles roster. As I wrote this morning, left-handers are hitting .289 against Rodriguez this season and .273 in his career. Right-handers are hitting .190 this season and .232 lifetime. Rodriguez is the ultimate reverse-splits guy, according...

Pregame notes on opt-outs, bullpen, bad blood and more (updated)

Orioles
Pregame notes on opt-outs, bullpen, bad blood and more (updated)
Pedro Álvarez isn't in Triple-A Norfolk's lineup tonight for the first time, no coincidence on his opt-out date. Álvarez is batting .223/.296/.456 with 12 doubles, 12 home runs and 39 RBIs in 52 games. The experiment in right field hasn't been positive and Álvarez would be a left-handed designated hitter if the Orioles tried to fit him on their roster. "There's some conversation about what direction he's going to go," said manager Buck Showalter, who met earlier today with...

The Orioles are breaking out a right-handed heavy lineup tonight against Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. The splits aren't influencing them.

Injuries, suspensions, opt-outs and tonight's game

Orioles
Injuries, suspensions, opt-outs and tonight's game
The Orioles crammed a lot of news into a few hours yesterday, if a 14-minute rain delay to start the game also falls into that category. It's old news, for sure. Seems to rain here every day. The official mascot should be moss. Catcher Welington Castillo was placed on the disabled list, and it's - you pick the word - that his testicular injury occurred exactly one year after the one sustained by catcher Caleb Joseph. "An eerie coincidence" is three words. So is "a painful reminder." If...

Offense comes alive and O's take series with 10-4 win (updated)
The Orioles know how to take a lead. It's holding a lead - and that's really the most important part of the game - that tends to challenge them. They can raise blood pressure like a salt-based diet. Kevin Gausman lasted only 5 1/3 innings tonight, throwing 106 pitches before manager Buck Showalter turned to his bullpen, but the Orioles navigated through the tense moments and never trailed in a 10-4 victory over the Yankees before an announced crowd of 22,983 at Camden Yards. The Orioles...

Welington Castillo goes on disabled list (O's lead 9-4)
The Orioles have placed catcher Welington Castillo on the 10-day disabled list with a testicular injury and selected catcher Francisco Peña's contract from Triple-A Norfolk. The 40-man roster is full. Castillo spent much of last night in the emergency room after being hit in the groin by a pitch that first struck Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius and caromed. "Most of the times, the ones that are really a problem are the angle, when you get a different angle," manager Buck Showalter said...

Castillo may be headed to disabled list again
The Orioles may place catcher Welington Castillo on the 10-day disabled list later today. Castillo spent last night in the emergency room after he was hit in the groin by a deflected pitch that initially struck Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius on the arm. The head athletic trainers for both teams raced onto the field to attend to the injured players. Castillo stayed in the game, but he later required medical attention. Manager Buck Showalter said Castillo has a "hematoma" and the injury...

Machado first among AL third basemen in All-Star voting
The slump that's lowered Manny Machado's average to .210 isn't preventing fans from placing him first among American League third basemen in balloting for the All-Star Game. Machado is the only Orioles to hold the top spot as the first round of results are released today by Major League Baseball. He's received 369,069 votes to lead the Twins' Miguel Sanó 363,607 and the Indians' José Ramírez (351,814). Machado is trying to join Hall of Famers Brooks Robinson and Cal Ripken Jr. as...

Orioles
This, that and the other
The Rangers rallied to beat the Rays last night, allowing the Orioles to stay in third place in the American League East. They won't be covering the lockers in plastic. This is nothing to celebrate. Keep the champagne on ice. Chris Tillman insisted after last night's 8-3 loss that his right shoulder is fine. He gave up three home runs in 2 2/3 innings and his fastball mostly was 89-91 mph, but he said it wasn't a physical issue. "I feel really good, actually," he said. "It's been getting...

Tillman surrenders three home runs in 8-3 loss (with quotes)
Chris Tillman went four starts and faced 95 batters this season without allowing a home run. Some streaks end. Other are obliterated. Yankees leadoff hitter Brett Gardner homered tonight on the third pitch thrown by Tillman, a 90 mph fastball. Matt Holiday, the third batter in the order, drove Tillman's 86 mph slider into the left field seats. And so it went. Holliday got Tillman again leading off the third inning, Gardner homered off reliever Logan Verrett leading off the fourth and the...

Showalter on Machado, the order and retaliation (O's down 8-3)
Orioles third baseman Manny Machado enters tonight's game batting .216/.299/.426 in 48 games. However, manager Buck Showalter reminded the media that Machado leads the club with 25 RBIs and is tied with Chris Davis for the home run lead with 10. Showalter doesn't think the slash line should fully define the three-time All-Star. "I'm really impressed by the way he's handling some of his challenges this year," Showalter said. "He's very approachable. I told him that, too. You may see him...

Jones scratched from lineup for second straight day
Orioles center fielder Adam Jones has been removed from the lineup again tonight. However, the club said it's due to the wet field conditions. Jones tested his left ankle and hip again this afternoon before batting practice and was scratched from the lineup for the second consecutive day, though this time for precautionary reasons. He didn't play in the last two games in Houston. A light rain is falling at Camden Yards as the Yankees take batting practice. Joey Rickard is in center field and...

Orioles manager Buck Showalter will reveal the identity of Friday night's starter following today's batting practice session at Camden Yards. "We want to make sure that a couple things to well today," Showalter said. Showalter indicated yesterday that the choice came down to Alec Asher or Ubaldo Jiménez. Asher lasted only two innings Sunday in Houston and gave up six runs. Jiménez relieved him, allowed two runs in the third and retired 16 of the last 18 batters while covering the rest...

Adam Jones is in the Orioles lineup tonight and manager Buck Showalter sounded confident that his center fielder will stay in it after being scratched yesterday. Trey Mancini is in left field.

Orioles
What's happening in Sarasota?
Orioles director of player development Brian Graham headed down to the Ed Smith Stadium complex in Sarasota this week to check on a few players who remain at extended spring training. Closer Zach Britton ranks first if we're listing them in order of importance. Nothing against the others, of course. It's just hard to compete against a guy who was 47-for-47 in save chances last season. Perfection tends to raise a bar to ridiculous heights. Britton continues to play catch on flat ground,...
