Mychal Givens' recent struggles continue in O's Saturday night loss

Orioles
Mychal Givens' recent struggles continue in O's Saturday night loss
It took them 13 innings to lose, but the Orioles trailed for the first time last night in the top of the eighth when Seattle's J.P. Crawford hit a three-run homer off right-hander Mychal Givens. Givens has had a rough last week, but for many weeks before that, it appeared he was set up for a big finish to his 2019 season. Then it all changed Those struggles have been puzzling, as he's now allowed three homers in his last four games, all in the last week. Before that, Givens had given up just...

Orioles
O's game blog: Looking for another win against Mariners
After their win last night over Seattle, the Orioles look for another tonight in the second game of this three-game series. The Orioles (50-104), who have eight games left, are 1-0 in this series and 1-3 on this six-game homestand. They are 2-2 against Seattle, 5-14 in September and 24-55 at Oriole Park.

In MVO year, Mancini kept thriving even if his team did not

Orioles
In MVO year, Mancini kept thriving even if his team did not
Trey Mancini said it has not been too challenging to play well while his team continued to lose a lot. The losing was pretty much expected for the Orioles, but Mancini needed to prove in 2019 that he could play more like he did in 2017, when he finished third in the American League Rookie of the Year voting. So after he was named the 2019 Most Valuable Oriole on Friday, Mancini said it was not much of an issue for him to put together a strong individual season for the team with the second-worst...

Orioles
Aaron Brooks throws seven strong in relief as O's win
Tonight the Orioles used an opener, but it was the pitcher that came next that made the biggest difference. Seattle scored two runs in the first off lefty Richard Bleier, but right-hander Aaron Brooks followed him and threw seven innings as the Orioles beat Seattle 5-3 to open a three-game series. The Orioles (50-104) ended a four-game losing streak and won for the first time on this homestand. They beat a Seattle (65-89) team that had won five in a row and seven of nine as this night...

Was O's center fielder of the future on display at the Yard?

Orioles
Was O's center fielder of the future on display at the Yard?
The last two nights at Camden Yards, 24-year-old outfielder Austin Hays reminded us of the fantastic year he had in 2017. One that ended with him being named the Orioles' Minor League Player of the Year and one of five finalists as Baseball America's National Player of the Year. That season, Hays batted a combined .329/.365/.593 with 32 doubles, five triples, 32 home runs and 95 RBIs in 128 games at Single-A Frederick and Double-A Bowie. He joined Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as a finalist for...

The 'pen struggles again as O's are swept by Blue Jays

Orioles
The 'pen struggles again as O's are swept by Blue Jays
There was no late lead that got away tonight. But there was a close game to be won and the Orioles bullpen once again came up short in trying to make that happen. After throwing a strong game and leaving with a man on second and one out in the seventh, Orioles right-hander Gabriel Ynoa saw the 'pen give it up again. Toronto scored six runs on four hits and three walks in the seventh to snap a 2-2 tie and beat the Orioles 8-4 tonight at Camden Yards. They sweep the three-game series as the O's...

Orioles
Austin Hays on finishing strong and playing with Ryan Mountcastle
Injuries limited him to 87 games in the minors this year, but as the big league season winds down, outfielder Austin Hays is playing well and enjoying his health. He started to feel about 100 percent late in the year and the Orioles are seeing what a healthy Hays can do. Last night, he went 3-for-5, was on base four times, had two doubles, drove in a run, scored twice and ignited a bottom-of-the-ninth rally with a bunt single. Not to mention the abandon and talent he plays with while running in...

Orioles
O's game blog: Trying to avoid being swept
The Orioles have been swept in a series 12 times this year, yet they do not have one sweep to call their own. That number grows to 13 if they lose tonight. A couple of bullpen meltdowns - after a 25-game run where the 'pen put up strong numbers - have led to back-to-back losses by 8-5 and 11-10 scores to Toronto. The O's bullpen has allowed 15 runs (13 earned) and 18 hits in nine innings in this series. O's pitchers have allowed 19 runs and 12 walks in the two games. Jonathan Villar (No. 23)...

When healthy, Dwight Smith Jr. tried to run with his opportunity
On March 8, outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. got traded from the Blue Jays to the Orioles for international bonus money. He was about to leave the only organization he knew. The one that drafted him 53rd overall in 2011. He had played over 700 games in seven seasons on the Blue Jays' farm and briefly in the majors for Toronto in 2017 and 2018. And now he wondered how it would all turn out upon being traded. "I was just thinking, 'What's next?' " he recalled yesterday in the O's clubhouse. "I...

Another one got away: O's blow 7-1 lead against Blue Jays
For the Orioles tonight, it was an epic late-inning meltdown. A 7-1 lead after four innings was not safe and neither was a 9-5 lead going to the ninth. Last night's loss was pretty brutal. This was worse. The Orioles lost 11-10 to Toronto tonight at Camden Yards to fall to 49-103 with 10 games remaining in the season. Called on to pitch with the O's up 9-5 in the ninth, Miguel Castro got an out and then walked two around a bloop single. With Toronto later down to their last out, Cavan Biggio...

Orioles
Mychal Givens on tough stretch following a strong one
The stat sheet says Orioles right-handed reliever Mychal Givens has not had as good a year in 2019 as the year before, or the year before that, in numbers like ERA and WHIP. But Givens was a pitcher on a pretty good roll that got derailed Saturday night at Detroit and that continued last night in Baltimore. At Comerica Park, he gave up a game-tying homer with two outs in the last of the ninth inning and the Orioles lost 8-4 in 12 innings to the Tigers. Last night he gave up a leadoff homer in...

Orioles
O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces the Blue Jays
The Orioles took a 4-3 lead to the eighth inning last night. But the game got away from a bullpen that posted an American League-best 2.91 ERA since Aug. 20. Toronto tied the game in the eighth and scored four in the ninth for an 8-5 win. Toronto (60-91) took the opener of a three-game series. It was the opener of the Orioles' six-game homestand, their final homestand of 2019. Baltimore (49-102) is 3-4 over the last seven games but just 4-12 in September. The Birds are 23-53 at home and 7-7...

Orioles
Amid another that got away, Trey Mancini played well again
If you want an example of leadership by example, watch the Orioles' Trey Mancini. He may not be a vocal leader and may not be a teammate that would air another out for any reason, but he sure plays hard. All the time. Every inning. Every game. It's great leadership for young players. As the losing continues and the club is making costly mistakes almost every night, Mancini has been a constant in a positive way. He hit .355 with a 1.023 OPS in March and April to show the way early on, and...

One that got away: Toronto scores four in ninth to win 8-5
Starting on Aug. 2, right-hander Mychal Givens went 15 straight games without allowing a homer. Now he has yielded a longball in back-to-back games in the ninth inning, and a home run allowed tonight helped beat the Orioles. Justin Smoak homered onto the flag court to lead off the ninth as Toronto beat the Orioles 8-4 with four runs in the ninth. It's the opener of a three-game series and the final homestand of this year. Cavan Biggio's two-run triple in the ninth made it 7-4. That hit gave...

Two O's are Baseball America classification All-Stars
Two Orioles minor league pitchers were named classification All-Stars by Baseball America. The publication names All-Star teams for each classification - Triple-A, Double-A and so on down the line. That involves three leagues in each classification in most cases and Baseball America selected six pitchers - five starters and one reliever for each team. Double-A Bowie lefty Zac Lowther was named a Double-A classification All-Star. For the Baysox he went 13-7 with a 2.55 ERA. Over 148 innings he...
