O's game blog: Needing a win to avoid a four-game sweep
The Orioles need a win this afternoon to avoid getting swept in a series for the fifth time this year. The first four have come twice against New York and twice against Minnesota. The Orioles lost three straight at Camden Yards to the Yankees from April 4-7. They were swept in a doubleheader, which technically counts as a series, on May 15 at Yankee Stadium. The Orioles are 3-10-2 in 15 series this year, going 1-5-1 at home and 2-5-1 on the road. Today they are trying to break a five-game...

Mike Elias on Triple-A Norfolk players, plus some Yankees-O's notes

Orioles
Mike Elias on Triple-A Norfolk players, plus some Yankees-O's notes
A couple of hours before they took the field last night for Triple-A Norfolk, Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said some nice things about catcher Chance Sisco and outfielder DJ Stewart. He indicated the Orioles are watching them closely, have noticed the strong seasons they are having on the farm and could be calling them up. Maybe sooner than later. Then last night, that duo went out and combined for five of Norfolk's eight hits in an 8-4 loss to Durham at...

Orioles can't climb out of big early hole in latest loss to Yankees

Orioles
Orioles can't climb out of big early hole in latest loss to Yankees
There were more New York Yankees homers. The O's starter didn't pitch deep into the game. The Orioles lost to the Yankees again at Oriole Park with a familiar script. Swept here three straight by New York early last month, the Orioles lost 7-5 tonight and have lost the first three of a four-game series that concludes Thursday afternoon. Struggling right-hander Dan Straily got hit around again at Camden Yards as New York opened a 6-1 lead in the fourth. Straily lasted just four innings and...

O's game blog: It's Straily against Sabathia at Camden Yards

Orioles
O's game blog: It's Straily against Sabathia at Camden Yards
After losing by 10-7 and 11-4 the last two nights, the Orioles host the New York Yankees again tonight. It's the third contest of a four-game series. The outlook doesn't look too positive for the O's tonight. Right-hander Dan Straily (1-3, 8.51 ERA), who has been struggling, especially at home, goes against a Yankees team that enjoys mashing homers at Oriole Park. But that's why they play the games, so we're about to find out how this is going to go. Straily has been a big disappointment...

Elias on "largest international signing period" club has ever had
While the Orioles are struggling at the major league level and have lost seven of eight and 17 of 22 games to fall to 15-33, the ball is rolling behind the scenes to continue to acquire young amateur talent, both on the domestic and international fronts. During a wide-ranging interview with reporters this afternoon, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias updated the club's efforts. Not only do the Orioles have the top pick June 3 in the First-Year Player Draft, but a month...

Núñez trying to work out of extended slump

Orioles
Núñez trying to work out of extended slump
When Monday's game against the New York Yankees began, Renato Núñez saw his batting average down to .211 and his OPS at .632. He had just three hits his last 47 at-bats and six in his previous 68. But Núñez not only got two extra-base hits in that game, he drew two walks. This is a player who recently had a stretch of 18 games without drawing one walk. But Monday he hit a solo homer and added a double in three at-bats. It was his first multi-hit game since May 1. Over the weekend,...

Hess allows nine runs in O's loss to Yankees

Orioles
Hess allows nine runs in O's loss to Yankees
The 2019 season was off to a good start for Orioles right-hander David Hess. Two scoreless in relief on opening day followed by 6 1/3 no-hit innings in Toronto. But since then it's been mostly a series of shaky pitching marked by opponent home runs. That trend continued tonight at Camden Yards. A night after their 10-7 come-from-behind win over the Orioles, the Yankees were swinging big again. Hess allowed nine runs as New York beat the O's 11-4 to take the first two games of this four-game...

O's game blog: The Orioles face eight-game winner Domingo Germán
The Orioles offense produced seven runs and 13 hits last night, including eight for extra bases. But tonight, as they try to bounce back from Monday's blown lead and 10-7 loss, they face one of the best pitchers in baseball this year. The O's face right-hander Domingo Germán (8-1, 2.50 ERA). He is the major league leader in wins. He is fifth in the AL in ERA, second in the AL and fourth in the majors with a .175 batting average against and ranks fourth in the league and eighth in the...

Shawn Armstrong has a 1.08 ERA in his first seven games with the Orioles

Orioles
Shawn Armstrong has a 1.08 ERA in his first seven games with the Orioles
So far, 28-year-old right-hander Shawn Armstrong is turning out to be a nice addition for the Orioles, one which came via a waiver claim. He retired all four Yankees he faced last night with two strikeouts on 16 pitches. In seven games with the Orioles since they claimed him April 28 from Seattle, Armstrong is 0-0 with a 1.08 ERA and .111 batting average against. Over 8 1/3 innings he has allowed three hits and one run with three walks and 10 strikeouts. "I think the key has been just trying...

A look at the O's top draft pick with MLBPipeline.com's Jonathan Mayo
There could always be a surprise and the Orioles are not going to tip their hand, but for now all signs continue to point to the club taking Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman with the first pick in the First-Year Player Draft on June 3. Good luck finding a mock draft that doesn't have the Orioles making the switch-hitting junior the No. 1 selection. He's having a sensational season. MLBPipeline.com analyst Jonathan Mayo was a guest recently on "O's Xtra" on MASN and said that he feels...

O's lose 6-1 lead and the game 10-7 to Yankees in series opener

Orioles
O's lose 6-1 lead and the game 10-7 to Yankees in series opener
For the Orioles tonight, a chance to have a feel-good series opening win against a rival after Sunday's 10-0 loss evaporated amid several defensive misplays and the New York Yankees' late-game homers. Once leading 6-1 in the fourth, the Orioles lost 10-7 to the Yankees who scored four runs in the ninth to storm from behind. With the score tied 7-7, catcher Pedro Severino apparently lost a foul popup and it landed safely instead of resulting in the third out. One batter later Gary Sánchez...

O's game blog: Andrew Cashner pitches series opener with the Yankees
After a 1-5 road trip where the Orioles lost the last two games in Cleveland, the club begins a one series, four-game homestand tonight. The Orioles host the New York Yankees in the series opener. The O's offense produced 12 runs on 20 hits on Thursday and Friday in Cleveland with six doubles and four homers, and Baltimore batters went 6-for-17 with runners in scoring position. But in the last two games they scored one run on six hits with a team batting average of .102 (6-for-59). Their only...

O's got whipped in Cleveland but go 4-0 on farm Sunday
Well, the Orioles minor league affiliates went 4-0 Sunday with some real nice pitching performances. We'll get to that shortly. But the big league club got blown out 10-0 in Cleveland and the postgame interviews reflected that result. Starting pitcher Yefry Ramirez said he was "just bad." Chris Davis struck out four times against Indians right-hander Shane Bieber and said he didn't make adjustments and that was "just stupidity on my part." Manager Brandon Hyde has been remaining upbeat...

O's blanked in Cleveland to wrap up 1-5 road trip (updated)
CLEVELAND - The Orioles were held to a run and one hit yesterday and their offense was dormant again today. Their pitching was not good either. That kind of day in the road trip finale as Cleveland whipped the Orioles 10-0 to take three of four in this series. The Orioles (15-31) completed a 1-5 road trip through New York and Cleveland, winning only on Friday night behind Dylan Bundy. They have lost nine of 11, 15 of 20 and 20 of their last 26 games. The O's are 4-14 against the Indians since...

Pregame talk about DJ Stewart, Renato Núñez and more (game update)
CLEVELAND - Orioles manager Brandon Hyde has a lot on his plate with his own roster, but he's certainly getting reports and taking note of what is happening on the farm. And right now, Triple-A Norfolk outfielder DJ Stewart is on a hitting tear. Stewart is hitting .487 (19-for-39) with five home runs, 23 RBIs and a .521 OBP through 12 games in May. He leads the International League this month in batting average and RBIs and ranks tied for third with six doubles. For the season he is batting...

CLEVELAND - The Orioles two-city road trip through New York and Cleveland ends this afternoon against the Indians at Progressive Field. After two rainouts and then a doubleheader loss Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, the Orioles are 1-2 in this series. They lost 14-7 Thursday, won 5-1 behind Dylan Bundy Friday and were one-hit yesterday in losing 4-1 to the Tribe.

Orioles
Looking at a "winning baseball play" and outfield communication
CLEVELAND - It was the last of the fifth and a crowd of 25,652 was getting loud at Progressive Field. Leading 3-1, the Cleveland Indians had the bases loaded and one out against Orioles lefty John Means. They had a chance to put the hammer down and break the game wide open. Means had a 3-2 count on right fielder Jordan Luplow, who hit a two-run homer off him an inning earlier. This time Luplow grounded a fastball to the left of third baseman Rio Ruiz. He gloved it and started an inning-ending...

Wrapping up Orioles' 4-1 loss to Indians
CLEVELAND - John Means made one pitch he'd really like to have back. The Orioles were held to one hit, going 1-for-28. That was not a good combination today as Cleveland beat the Birds 4-1 at Progressive Field. Trey Mancini lined a solo homer to left in the fourth off Indians right-hander Adam Plutko, called up from Triple-A to make this start. But the Orioles got little else going against the right-hander and three relievers. They were held to one hit for the first time since Sept. 12, 2018...

O's offense shut down as Tribe wins 4-1 over John Means
CLEVELAND - For just the second time in his seven starts with the Orioles, left-hander John Means allowed more than one earned run. He didn't pitch badly, but he could have used more run support. After scoring 12 runs on 20 hits in the first two games of this series, the Baltimore offense was held in check today as Cleveland beat the Orioles 4-1 in front of 25,652 at Progressive Field. The Orioles were held to one hit by right-hander Adam Plutko and three relievers. They went 1-for-28 and,...

Brandon Hyde on Sunday's starter and more (game update)
CLEVELAND - The Orioles won't bring a starting pitcher back on short rest after Wednesday's doubleheader in New York, so they will turn to right-hander Yefry Ramirez out of their bullpen to start the series finale here on Sunday afternoon. Ramirez is 0-1 with an ERA of 5.14 in three games and seven innings since he was called up from Triple-A on April 29. He was 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA in four Norfolk starts with 24 strikeouts in 18 innings. "Well, we need a starter. And Yefry, it's a good...
