Jimenez fails to complete five innings (O's win 6-5)

Orioles
Jimenez fails to complete five innings (O's win 6-5)
The temperature was dropping and Ubaldo Jiménez's pitch count was rising. Not a good combination by anyone's standards. Not in the first inning or any inning. Forty-five degrees felt like 25 tonight with the wind. Thirty pitches felt like 60, but Jiménez got out of the inning with only one run allowed. More would come. Five in 4 1/3 innings before manager Buck Showalter called upon reliever Oliver Drake. The final blow was Gary Sanchez's two-run shot to deep left field, the second home...

Showalter celebrating a baseball anniversary (O's down 3-1)

Orioles
Showalter celebrating a baseball anniversary (O's down 3-1)
Today marks the 25th anniversary of Buck Showalter managing his first game in the majors. And by pure coincidence, he's facing the team that got him started. Showalter was in the home dugout at Yankee Stadium on April 7, 1992 for a 4-3 victory over the Red Sox. Scott Sanderson got the win, Roger Clemens the loss and Steve Farr the save. Former Oriole John Habyan struck out two batters in a scoreless eighth inning for the Yankees. The anniversary must not have been marked on Showalter's...

Orioles
More notes before tonight's game
If you're trying to keep track at home, Edwin Jackson is at extended spring training in Sarasota, left-hander Andrew Faulkner is on Triple-A Norfolk's roster and Miguel Castro, today's acquisition from the Rockies, has been optioned to Double-A Bowie. Jackson eventually will be assigned to Norfolk, where he's expected to work out of the bullpen. He could be used as a starter later if he stays in the organization, his contract including a June 1 opt-out clause, but for now he's viewed as a...

Orioles acquire Miguel Castro from Rockies and DFA Joe Gunkel

Orioles
Orioles acquire Miguel Castro from Rockies and DFA Joe Gunkel
The Orioles made another trade for a pitcher this afternoon, acquiring right-hander Miguel Castro from the Rockies for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The usual price. Pitcher Joe Gunkel was designated for assignment to create room for Castro, who's been optioned to Double-A Bowie, on the 40-man roster. Castro, 22, was a key piece in the Troy Tulowitzki deal with the Blue Jays on July 28, 2015. He's 0-3 with a 6.12 ERA in 37 relief appearances in the majors and allowed 10...

Seth Smith is the Orioles' leadoff hitter tonight for the series opening against the Yankees, who are starting right-hander Luis Severino. Smith also batted first on opening day. Manager Buck Showalter is repeating his left-handed lineup, which includes Hyun Soo Kim in left field and batting seventh. Starter Ubaldo Jiménez didn't pitch in a Grapefruit League game after March 21, though he threw at minor league camp. Adam Jones and Chris Davis homered in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blue...

Orioles
Edwin Jackson passes physical and signs minor league deal
Veteran pitcher Edwin Jackson has passed his physical with the Orioles and signed a minor league contract. Jackson will report to extended spring training in Sarasota. Jackson's deal includes a June 1 opt-out clause. In the meantime, the Orioles likely will transfer him to Triple-A Norfolk after he's deemed ready to pitch. Jackson, 33, has played for 11 teams over his 14-year major league career, most recently making 13 starts with the Padres last summer after the Marlins released him. He...

The scoop on Chris Davis

Orioles
The scoop on Chris Davis
The play drew more attention to third baseman Manny Machado, which tends to happen with any ball hit in his general direction. The magician with leather on his left hand and a cannon for a right arm leaped to knock down a line drive Wednesday night, reached back with the casual manner of someone picking up a quarter off the floor and fired to first baseman Chris Davis. Or in his general direction. Machado trusted that Davis would come off the bag, play the hop and record the out. Davis obliged,...

Orioles
Gentry remains grateful for the chance to play again
Two games into the 2017 season and Craig Gentry's contributions so far are serving as a pinch-runner and a defensive replacement. He's waiting to make his first plate appearance. Gentry isn't complaining. He isn't growing impatient. After what he's endured physically and mentally, he's just thrilled to be in a major league uniform again and feeling like himself. The Orioles selected Gentry's contract after he was the last non-roster invitee in camp. It seemed like an easy call, but...

Showalter on Bundy, Britton and a 3-1 win

Orioles
Showalter on Bundy, Britton and a 3-1 win
The Orioles held the Blue Jays to three runs in 20 innings, the result a sweep of the two-game series before their second off-day this week. Dylan Bundy was magnificent with one run allowed, no walks and eight strikeouts in seven innings. The seven innings and 99 pitches tied his career highs. This was only the second time as a starter that Bundy didn't walk a batter. It also happened on July 22, 2016 in five innings against the Indians. Brad Brach struck out two batters in a scoreless eighth...

Orioles
Dylan Bundy dazzles for seven innings (O's win 3-1)
Dylan Bundy's start tonight didn't come with a pregame ceremony and the unrolling of an orange carpet. No flyovers, no glitter, no sellout crowd. Just a dominant performance against a formidable lineup that couldn't figure him out. Bundy held the Blue Jays to one run over seven innings, tying his career high with 99 pitches, and the Orioles carried a 3-1 lead into the eighth inning at Camden Yards. Bundy allowed four hits, walked none and struck out eight, as the Orioles attempt to sweep the...

Mancini gets first start in the outfield (O's lead 3-1)
Trey Mancini's education as a major league outfielder continues tonight under the new LED lights at Camden Yards, with Orioles manager Buck Showalter choosing the rookie to play right instead of veteran Craig Gentry. There are multiple methods to the madness. Showalter said the only way to find out whether Mancini can handle the position is to play him, which is happening tonight against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ. "It's just another part of the process," Showalter said. "There's...

Dariel Álvarez may undergo surgery on elbow
Dariel Álvarez, who was in the process of converting from outfielder to pitcher, underwent an MRI on his right elbow and may be headed to surgery, according to sources. Álvarez had the MRI today in Sarasota after visiting Dr. Brian Schofield. He was back at extended spring training, having been shut down due to lingering soreness that cropped up about 10 days ago. The expectation is that Álvarez will undergo ligament-reconstructive surgery, at least temporarily halting the transition...

Health updates on Tillman, Miley and O'Day
Chris Tillman completed his third bullpen session today without a hitch, the right shoulder responding favorably to the extended activity. Tillman had two "ups," throwing 15 pitches and sitting down to simulate a start. "It's another step for him. He should be just about done now," said manager Buck Showalter. Assuming that the shoulder continues to feel good, Tillman will fly to Sarasota and throw live batting practice on Saturday. He's scheduled to pitch in an extended spring training...

Orioles
Orioles will lean toward the right with tonight's lineup
The Orioles will find out today whether reliever Darren O'Day really is available to pitch or just "physically active," which might push him onto the disabled list. O'Day is feeling better, but he's been dealing with the flu only since Thursday and it took Wade Miley a lot longer to get back to 100 percent. Yesterday's off-day provided more rest for O'Day. A couch and a remote control can keep the doctor away. Manager Buck Showalter will check on Miley following yesterday's six-inning...

Reflecting on an opening day win
It may sound odd to suggest that an off day is arriving at an opportune time after only one game has been played. However, set-up man Darren O'Day isn't fully recovered from the flu and manager Buck Showalter didn't want to use him yesterday. Third baseman Manny Machado was icing his left wrist after rolling it on his spectacular diving stop in the 11th inning. These guys need a break. Machado seems to be fine. He batted in the bottom half of the 11th and grabbed one of the plastic water...

Orioles
Wrapping up a 3-2 11-inning win on opening day
A walk-off home run to break a 2-2- tie in the bottom of the 11th inning against the Blue Jays. Practically writes itself. Mark Trumbo extended the Orioles' winning streak on opening day to seven in a row by launching a Jason Grilli pitch over the left field fence with two outs for a 3-2 victory before a sellout crowd of 45,667 at Camden Yards. The Orioles were 3-for-26, all singles, since Trumbo's RBI double in the third inning. The offense shut down similar to the wild card game at Rogers...

Ceremonies completed, time to start 2017 season (O's win in 11th)
Kevin Gausman's first pitch this afternoon to Blue Jays leadoff hitter Devon Travis was a 96 mph fastball for a called strike, and the second landed in shallow right field for a single. The 2017 season was underway. The Orioles did the usual fine job with the pregame ceremonies. Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson was booed upon his introduction, but the volume level was nothing compared to what awaited José Bautista. Executive vice president Dan Duquette wasn't kidding. Fans don't...

Smith atop the order, O'Day and Miley health updates and more
Seth Smith wasn't given a warning from manager Buck Showalter about batting leadoff on opening day. He checked the lineup card posted outside the clubhouse and returned to his locker. "We didn't have a conversation about it," Smith said. "but when I've been able to play this spring, it's really the only place I've hit, so I kind of assumed that it was a good possibility." Smith has batted leadoff in 80 games over his 10-year career, so it's not uncharted territory. And it doesn't...
