Núñez delivers milestone homer, Trumbo with a classy goodbye

Núñez delivers milestone homer, Trumbo with a classy goodbye
For a player the Orioles added via a waiver claim in May 2018, it was a milestone homer. A team finally gave Renato Núñez everyday playing time and he rewarded the 2019 Orioles with 30 homers and 89 RBIs. Núñez is one of 19 players in the American League with 30 and 89. And it was a big homer. A three-run shot off Boston's Nathan Eovaldi that gave the O's an early 3-0 lead. They would win 4-1 and Núñez drove in all four runs. He crushed the milestone shot with an exit...

Trey talk: Mancini looks to improve on his leadership
While some fans around Birdland often wonder if Trey Mancini will be involved in trade talks this winter, we seem to be getting a different message from the team. The Orioles are obviously thrilled with the season Mancini has had and they respect his leadership. But even though he's had such a strong year, there is a thought that he may even be capable of more, both on offense and with his leadership in the clubhouse. Manager Brandon Hyde has talked with Mancini recently about hitting the ball...

Continuing to stay upbeat amid all the losses in 2019

Orioles
Continuing to stay upbeat amid all the losses in 2019
TORONTO - During a season where the 2019 Orioles suffered countless brutal losses, they kept coming back for more and sometimes emerged victorious. We can't give them too much credit for continuing to play since that is the job. But they kept their enthusiasm and energy up and never seemed to get too far down after losses like Monday's 15-inning affair at Rogers Centre. They won 11-4 the next time out with a very solid performance. They lost 3-2 last night, but even then rallied late and...

O's lose 3-2 in series finale at Rogers Centre (updated)
TORONTO - After scoring 21 runs in the last two games, a lack of offense tonight led to an Orioles loss, and they failed to win two straight series for the first time since the first week of the year. In the rubber match at Rogers Centre, right-hander Jacob Waguespack blanked the Orioles over six innings and they lost 3-2 to the Blue Jays. The Orioles are 52-107 and heading to Boston for the final series of the year beginning Friday night. With the loss, the Orioles are locked into pick No. 2...

Hyde on Wynns starting again and Villar's strong season (game update)
TORONTO - He was behind the plate last night for Dylan Bundy's strong seven-inning, two-run outing, so Austin Wynns is back catching again tonight as the Orioles wrap up the series in Toronto. "I liked the way he caught last night and he hit a homer," manager Brandon Hyde said. "So give him another chance to get back there. I like the fingers he threw last night (calling the pitches). I thought he and Bundy worked really well together and I thought he's done a nice job defensively with the...

Dwight Smith Jr. on big game against his former team

Orioles
Dwight Smith Jr. on big game against his former team
TORONTO - Orioles outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. calls the trade that sent him from Toronto to the Orioles on March 8 "the best thing that happened to me in my career." That is because the Orioles have given him a real shot in the majors this year. Over parts of 2017-18, he got a combined 104 plate appearances with Toronto. This season, he has gotten 384 with the Orioles. That number would probably be higher if not for two injuries. Smith got off to a hot start with the Orioles. Through May 12,...

O's game blog: Going for a series win at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - After losing 11-10 in 15 innings Monday, the Orioles beat Toronto 11-4 last night at Rogers Centre. So the third and deciding game of this series is set for tonight. The Orioles took two of three from Seattle over the weekend, winning a series for the first time since they won two of three versus Kansas City from Aug. 19-21. Tonight, in this series finale, they have a shot to win back-to-back series. That has not happened since the Orioles began this season going 4-2 at Yankee Stadium...

Sizing up Dylan Bundy's year and Trey Mancini's huge game

Orioles
Sizing up Dylan Bundy's year and Trey Mancini's huge game
TORONTO - When O's right-hander Dylan Bundy took the ball last night against the Blue Jays he made his 30th start of the 2019 season, a number that leads the team. He led the team last year with 31. While there are certainly more important stats than that, Bundy said taking the ball almost every start and being available to his team was very important to him. This is something that started with the Orioles when center fielder Adam Jones was here. It was important to, as the players say, "post...

Bundy throws a gem, Mancini has five hits as O's win big (updated)
TORONTO - A night after the Orioles allowed 11 runs, 13 hits and five homers, some pitching order was restored as they handily beat the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Right-hander Dylan Bundy was dealin' Dylan, pitching the Orioles to a win in Game 2 of this series. Bundy went seven strong innings, the Orioles hit three homers and Trey Mancini went 5-for-5 in an 11-4 win over Toronto. Mancini doubled in the first and third and added three singles in setting a new career high for hits and...

O's skipper Brandon Hyde on lineup changes (game update)
TORONTO - The Orioles posted a lineup today that included Anthony Santander and Hanser Alberto, but when Toronto changed pitchers, manager Brandon Hyde changed his lineup. Toronto scratched its scheduled starter, lefty Anthony Kay, due to a back issue and replaced him with lefty Thomas Pannone. "They scratched their starter about 5 o'clock," Hyde said. "They're going to go with a bullpen day and we figured the majority of the pitchers behind him will be right-handed relievers. So I assume...

As O's bullpen struggles overall, Evan Phillips gets on a nice roll
TORONTO - At a time when the Orioles bullpen is struggling and often giving up leads, a pitcher that had been struggling previously is not anymore. At least not in a recent stretch of games. Right-hander Evan Phillips has now put together six straight scoreless appearances for the Orioles, the latest a two-inning stint last night when he pitched the fourth and fifth against Toronto. Over the six games, Phillips has thrown seven innings, allowing four hits with three walks and 10 strikeouts. It...

Can Trey Mancini take his offense to an even higher level?
TORONTO - The Orioles' Trey Mancini is racking up some honors: Most Valuable Oriole, and now he's the latest American League Player of the Week after a week when he hit .462 (12-for-26) in six games with four runs, four doubles, two home runs, 10 RBIs and 22 total bases.

Toronto produces walk-off win in the 15th inning
TORONTO - A marathon game that featured 21 runs, 29 hits, 10 homers and 20 pitchers finally ended early Tuesday morning at Toronto. Anthony Alford hit a walk-off homer with two outs in the last of the 15th as Toronto beat the Orioles 11-10. Alford hit a 2-2 changeup from right-hander Ryan Eades, the 10th O's pitcher, to end a five-hour, 21-minute struggle. Eades had thrown 2 2/3 scoreless when Eades connected for his first career home run in his 51st career plate appearance. Earlier, for the...

Hyde on Hays making push for 2020 spot and more (O's lose in 15)
TORONTO - No one is handing out starting jobs for next year yet for players not fully established at the major league level, but Orioles center fielder Austin Hays is making a strong case for himself since his call-up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 7. Hays is batting .302/.362/.535 in 15 games with the Orioles. He has a six-game hitting streak during which is he is 8-for-24 (.333) with two doubles, two homers and six RBIs.

TORONTO - Two Orioles arrived in Toronto and found out today they've been honored by the American League. Trey Mancini has been named the AL Player of the Week and Austin Hays was recognized for making the AL's Play of the Week, which was his home-run robbing catch last Thursday against Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Mancini claimed his first career weekly honor and is the first Oriole to win since his former teammate Jonathan Schoop last season for the period ending July 30th.

They are 4-2 at Rogers Centre a year after going 0-10 in the building. They were out-homered 35-20 and outscored 63-28. They had series when they went 0-4 and 0-3 twice north of the border in 2018.

Just as expected, rebuilding is hard and not for everyone
Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias spoke a blunt truth about the team's immediate future in 2020. He said, essentially, that wins and losses are not going to be critical next season, as the club's rebuilding is still in the early stages. This comes as common sense to some fans and rubs others the wrong way. We found out this year another truth: Rebuilding is hard, and some fans have a hard time dealing with mounting losses. Now those fans realize that next year...

Chris Davis hits tiebreaking homer as O's take home finale
As if to remind us that his last start in Detroit was very much the exception and not the rule, lefty John Means threw another strong game today for the Orioles in the 2019 home finale. Chris Davis also took fans back a bit - to days when he hit important homers. He hit one today in the seventh to break a 1-1 tie as the Orioles beat Seattle 2-1. The O's are now 51-105 and completed their home schedule with a 25-56 record. They won a series for the first time since taking two of three from...
