Orioles
O's game blog: Looking for two in a row against the Rays
The Orioles (3-3) host Tampa Bay (4-4) tonight in the second of a three-game series. Baltimore won 6-3 last night as the O's bullpen fanned nine and allowed one run over five innings. The O's got back-to-back homers from Anthony Santander and Pedro Severino in the fourth and Hanser Alberto, who is batting .440, added a solo shot in the eighth. Before last night the last time the O's hit back-to-back homers was Sept. 23 in the fifth inning at Toronto, when it was Jonathan Villar and Austin...

Eventful 24 hours: Davis is fine, O's bounce back, Bleier traded
The news cycle and information moved fast around the Baltimore Orioles on Friday and into the first hour of Saturday morning. First they got Chris Davis back and he was indeed COVID-19-free. Then we found out that, at least for now, right-hander Kohl Stewart was opting out of the season. On the field, after a rain delay of nearly an hour and a game that took three hours and 36 minutes, the Orioles had beaten Tampa Bay. Their bullpen was stellar. They regroup after Thursday's brutal loss. But...

Chris Davis returns but Kohl Stewart decides to pause his season

Orioles
Chris Davis returns but Kohl Stewart decides to pause his season
After undergoing, by his count, at least eight COVID-19 tests over the past few days, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis said today he does not have coronavirus. After being away from the club for two games, he returned to Camden Yards this afternoon. He is not in tonight's lineup against Tampa Bay, but he is available when a three-game series starts at 7:35 p.m. As the Orioles get Davis back today, they lose right-handed pitcher Kohl Stewart, who is headed to the injured list and is removed...

Orioles
O's game blog: Alex Cobb faces former team
After being swept in a two-game series by the New York Yankees, the Orioles continue their homestand tonight. They welcome in their American League East rivals the Tampa Bay Rays to start a three-game series. As game time was approaching the tarp was on the field and we may be in for a delayed start. The Orioles (2-3) lost 9-3 and 8-6 to New York as Aaron Judge hit a three-run homer in the ninth last night to turn a 6-5 deficit into an 8-6 Yankee lead and win. After losing their season opener,...

A take on Joe Kelly's suspension and another loss to Yankees

Orioles
A take on Joe Kelly's suspension and another loss to Yankees
Might as well express what figures to be an unpopular opinion and then duck. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly got suspended for eight games for throwing at the Houston Astros in the sixth inning Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park. He was not even ejected from the game, but he got hammered with this suspension that he is currently appealing. The Major League Baseball press release stated, "Kelly, who has previously been suspended in his career for intentional throwing, threw a pitch in the...

Orioles
O's game blog: John Means faces Yankees at Oriole Park
The Orioles will turn to their 2019 All-Star pitcher, left-hander John Means, as they try to end a long losing streak versus the New York Yankees. The teams play tonight to end a brief two-game series. New York got homers from DJ LeMahieu, Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks last night in a 9-3 win. The Yankees built an early 5-1 lead after three innings and never trailed in improving to 3-1, while the Orioles fell to 2-2. The Orioles have lost 17 in a row against New York since their last win on March...

Anthony Santander can relate to COVID-19 situation in MLB

Orioles
Anthony Santander can relate to COVID-19 situation in MLB
He can certainly relate to the COVID-19 situation in Major League Baseball. The Orioles' Anthony Santander contracted the virus and missed a large portion of summer camp. But he returned in time for the season opener and has played in all four games thus far. He is slated to bat fourth tonight in right field against the New York Yankees. But the Miami Marlins saw about half their roster impacted and now the team they last played, the Philadelphia Phillies, will not be playing at least through...

For one night anyway, O's-Yankees looked a lot like 2019

Orioles
For one night anyway, O's-Yankees looked a lot like 2019
The first Orioles-Yankees game of 2020 looked like so many others from last summer. The Yankees bashed three home runs and they won by a comfortable margin. The O's lost their home opener 9-3 at Oriole Park. DJ LeMahieu homered on the second pitch of the night and New York added two more homers in the third. Aaron Judge hit a solo shot and Aaron Hicks a two-run homer. On its way to going 10-0 in Baltimore in 2019, the Yankees hit 43 homers. They hit two or more in every game at Camden Yards...

Orioles
O's allow three homers, lose home opener to New York
The Orioles, who went 2-17 against the New York Yankees last year, extended two long losing streaks against them tonight. They could not get to right-hander Gerrit Cole until late in the night and New York enjoyed more longballs at Oriole Park. O's right-hander Asher Wojciechowski looked like he had some decent stuff - he fanned seven in five innings and got 18 swings and misses - but he also gave up three homers that were not exactly crushed. But that was enough to do him in. The Yankees...

After two days and two games postponed against Miami, the Orioles' season resumes tonight with their home opener. They host the New York Yankees tonight and tomorrow at Oriole Park. The Orioles scored 14 runs in winning the last two games of the Boston series and they are 2-1. So are the Yankees, who have had games with Philadelphia postponed this week. New York opened its season winning two of three at Washington. The Tampa Bay Rays begin today in first in the American League East at...

Orioles get back on the field tonight, plus other notes
After the uncertainty while they were sitting around their hotel rooms on Monday in Miami, the Orioles got a bit of certainty yesterday when Major League Baseball announced that they'll host the New York Yankees the next two nights at Camden Yards. The Orioles will avoid, at least for now, playing the Miami Marlins after their team was hit with a widespread breakout of COVID-19. The O's players, coaches and staff have been, by their own accounts, very strongly following the protocols and...

O's superfan Mo Gaba elected to Orioles Hall of Fame (updated)
He is a superfan who has faced super challenges in his young life. But today, in part due to his passion, knowledge, courage and so much more, the Orioles honored Mossila "Mo" Gaba in a super way. He has been elected to the Orioles Hall of Fame as the second recipient of The Wild Bill Hagy Award. Mo, a resident of Glen Burnie, began calling in to 105.7 The Fan's sports programming in 2015 at the age of 9. Unbeknownst to his mother, he would call in on afternoons when he got home from school...

O's may take the field again on Wednesday, plus other notes
It is the luck of the schedule. The bad luck of the schedule for the Orioles. After winning two of three in Boston and with the hopes of getting off to a decent start, they had the misfortune to be the team next scheduled for four straight games against the Miami Marlins. No offense to the Marlins, but until the team and its medical staff and Major League Baseball get a handle on how hard the coronavirus has hit their team, they probably should not play any club. And the prospect of playing...

New Oriole Isaac Mattson is closing in on the majors (with video)

Orioles
New Oriole Isaac Mattson is closing in on the majors (with video)
The date was Dec. 4, 2019. That was the day that Isaac Mattson's world briefly got turned upside down. A right-handed relief pitcher, he was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in round 19 of the 2017 First-Year Player Draft and had completed three good years in their system. He reached Triple-A last summer and he was finally closing in on that major league dream. Then he got a call. He was traded to the Orioles, one of four players coming to Baltimore in the deal for pitcher Dylan Bundy. "Kind...

O's build big early lead and hang on to take series
Heading into this series, the Orioles had only won two of the last 13 series against the Boston Red Sox. They went 7-12 against Boston last year and 4-6 at Fenway Park. Then they got blasted 13-2 on opening night. But behind two wins on back-to-back days, the 2020 Orioles are off to a 2-1 start and have a rare series win against Boston. They got more early offense today and another solid starting pitcher effort in a 6-4 victory. They built a five-run lead and held on for the win. Now they head...

O's game blog: Shooting for a series win at Boston
The Orioles (1-1) and Boston Red Sox (1-1) wrap up their season-opening three-game series this afternoon at Fenway Park. Monday night the Orioles start a two-game series at Miami. They open their home season Wednesday against the Marlins. After allowing 13 runs and 17 hits on Friday as Boston went 10-for-19 with runners in scoring position, the O's pitchers came up big in Saturday's 7-2 win. They allowed nine hits and no walks and Boston went 1-for-7 with RISP. On their way to 108 losses last...

O's pitching better in second game and today they go for series win
After Friday's opening night loss, a result of some poor pitching, the Orioles got the season's first win less than 24 hours later. They beat the Boston Red Sox 7-2 Saturday at Fenway Park and they can win the series there this afternoon. In the 13-2 loss in the opener, Baltimore pitchers threw 191 pitches over eight innings with seven walks. Yesterday five pitchers threw 140 pitches over nine innings with no walks and 11 strikeouts. Boston went 10-for-19 with runners in scoring position...

O's win behind Cobb's outing and aggressive early swinging

Orioles
O's win behind Cobb's outing and aggressive early swinging
The Orioles turned in a much different start today, with a strong pitching effort that got an early boost from some aggressive swinging. They beat Boston 7-2 to even the three-game series at Fenway Park. We all understand the need to work the count and get pitchers pitch counts up, but sometimes early count hacking can get the job done - if you swing at hittable pitches. The Orioles did that early in today's game against Boston lefty Martín Pérez, scoring three runs in the first and two...

O's game blog: Alex Cobb makes season debut at Fenway Park
The first game of the shortened 2020 season was a dud for the Orioles. So let's see, after a quick turnaround, what will unfold in the second one. The Orioles (0-1) play at Boston (1-0) this afternoon in the second game of a three-game series. The Red Sox scored four runs in the third and six in the fourth on opening night. They banged out eight doubles and 17 hits in a 13-2 win. It's the most runs the Orioles have ever allowed on opening day. After winning eight straight openers through...

After blowout loss, Alex Cobb tries to pitch O's to a win today
Between 2011 and 2018, the Orioles won eight opening day games in a row. Starting in 2011, they beat Tampa Bay, followed by Minnesota and Tampa Bay again. Then they beat Boston, Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Toronto and Minnesota again. But they lost 7-2 last year at Yankee Stadium and 13-2 last night at Boston. Starter Tommy Milone cruised through two innings but then gave up four doubles and four runs in the third. Cody Carroll and Travis Lakins Sr. allowed six runs an inning later. So Boston led...
