O's game blog: John Means gets the start versus Indians
CLEVELAND - The Orioles had a much more enjoyable Friday night here. After losing 14-7 on Thursday, they won 5-1 last night behind right-hander Dylan Bundy, who allowed one unearned run on three hits over 5 2/3 innings. Bundy, who threw 118 pitches, improved to 2-5 for the year with an ERA of 4.66 that is second-best among the club's starters. Bundy, who has not allowed an earned run in two of his past three starts, has an ERA of 2.79 over his last five outings. Jonathan Villar hit a three-run...

Another look at Dylan Bundy's strong outing against Cleveland

Orioles
Another look at Dylan Bundy's strong outing against Cleveland
CLEVELAND - We don't need analytics or any advanced data to know that your chances of winning are much greater when allowing one run than say, 14. No late touchdown was called for last night, and we can also call off the panic over right-hander Dylan Bundy. Proving yet again last night that he can win throwing his fastball 90 to 92 mph, Bundy pitched the Orioles past Cleveland 5-1 with a very strong outing. It would have been a longer outing and a quality start except for a couple of errors...

Dylan Bundy throws strong game as O's top Indians (quotes added)

Orioles
Dylan Bundy throws strong game as O's top Indians (quotes added)
CLEVELAND - For one night at least, Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy quieted any talk about his velocity. He picked up his second win of the year, pitching the Orioles past the Cleveland Indians. As usual he wasn't lighting up the radar gun - his velocity average was 90.6 mph, up from 89.8 mph in his last game - but he threw a solid game as the Orioles beat Cleveland 5-1 to even the four-game series at a game apiece. Bundy's fastball usage was at a season-low 41 percent as he threw 5 2/3...

Brandon Hyde looking for a bounceback tonight (game update)

Orioles
Brandon Hyde looking for a bounceback tonight (game update)
CLEVELAND - For a good portion of last night's Orioles game here, manager Brandon Hyde saw things to like. His hitters got to Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer and the team built a 5-1 lead. Even after falling behind by 6-5, Stevie Wilkerson's two-run double put them back ahead. It was set up to be a good night for Hyde's rebuilding team. But it came crashing down amid several late-game mistakes and another shaky night for the bullpen. Cleveland scored five in the last of the seventh,...

Branden Kline settles into the bullpen and life in the majors

Orioles
Branden Kline settles into the bullpen and life in the majors
CLEVELAND - It has been less than a month since Branden Kline made his major league debut and just over two weeks since his latest call to the majors. But the right-hander from Frederick, Md., is settling in and getting used to life in the majors with the Orioles. He knows that to stay here, he'll need to pitch well, and he's been doing that lately. He's thrown 3 1/3 scoreless innings in his last two games and is coming off a strong two-inning outing Wednesday. In Game 1 of a doubleheader at...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces the Indians
CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Indians beat the Orioles 14-7 last night at Progressive Field and host the O's tonight in the second game of a four-game series. The Orioles lost leads of 5-1 and 7-6 Thursday night and Cleveland scored the game's final eight runs. The Indians set season highs in runs and hits (14), plating their most runs since Sept. 28, 2018 at Kansas City. Cleveland has scored 23 runs its last two games, scoring nine or more in back-to-back games for the first time since Aug....

As losses mount, Orioles try to stay positive and keep pushing
CLEVELAND - Before Thursday's game, both Orioles manager Brandon Hyde and one of the team's leaders, Trey Mancini, talked about the appreciation they had for how the Orioles clubhouse is handling mounting losses. The losses are not unexpected, but they can weigh a team down and hinder youngsters as they try to grow and develop as players. Last night's 14-7 loss in Cleveland featured an awful five-run Cleveland seventh, and the Orioles looked like a last-place team in that inning. But even in...

Orioles
Orioles lose two leads in Cleveland series opener (quotes added)
CLEVELAND - When Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer retired the Orioles on eight pitches in the first inning tonight it looked like he might have a big game. Bauer began the game ninth in the American League in ERA. But that early look was very, very deceiving. It was not a good night for several pitchers, Bauer included. And for the Orioles, another close game got away from them in the last of the seventh tonight. The Orioles saw leads of 5-1 and 7-6 that they did not hold as they fell 14-7 to...

CLEVELAND - After a doubleheader loss in New York, the Orioles begin a four-game series tonight at Progressive Field in Cleveland. The Orioles lost by scores of 5-3 and 3-1 in the twinbill at Yankee Stadium. They produced just 14 hits in the two games and went 0-for-13 with runners in scoring position. The Orioles (14-28) are 0-21 the last three games and 1-for-31 their past four games with RISP. The past 16 games they are 16-for-118 (.136) with RISP. The Birds have scored four runs or fewer 27...

Orioles
Hyde pregame on Straily, Bundy and more (game update)
CLEVELAND - Over the last nine games, Orioles starters have pitched six innings or more in six of them. That is significant because they had just four such outings in the season's first 33 games. And the rotation ERA is 3.73 in the more recent stretch. So tonight enter right-hander Dan Straily into the mix as the Orioles open a four-game series in Cleveland with the Indians. Straily (1-3, 8.23 ERA) has gone five innings or less in each of his six starts and has allowed 11 runs in 8 2/3 over...

Orioles
Richard Bleier talks about rejoining the Orioles
CLEVELAND - The Orioles are getting one of their key relievers back tonight. And he feels like he's ready now to duplicate his past success. Following his lat surgery last June, lefty Richard Bleier did make it back in time for opening day. But he gave up nine hits and seven runs over 4 1/3 innings to begin the year. That was very different from Bleier's 1.99 ERA for the 2017 Orioles and the 1.93 he posted until he got hurt last year. An examination of Bleier's left shoulder revealed...

Orioles
He's pitching great, but O's in no hurry to move Grayson Rodriguez
At Single-A Delmarva, the Shorebirds' amazing start has been the result of many factors, but strong starting pitching has ranked right up there. One pitcher who got off to a fast start was right-hander Blaine Knight and he already has been promoted to Single-A Frederick. But others remain with the team, including the club's 2018 top draft pick. And that is 19-year-old right-hander Grayson Rodriguez, who is 5-0 with a 1.45 ERA through six starts. Knight left after going 3-0 with an ERA of 0.68...

O's Game 2 game blog: Andrew Cashner starts for Baltimore
Right-hander Andrew Cashner (4-1, 4.25 ERA) gets the ball in the second game tonight as the Orioles and Yankees complete this doubleheader. Cashner faced the Yankees on opening day and gave up six runs and six hits over four innings. Last season he went 1-2 with a 4.26 ERA in four starts against the Yankees. In his career over eight starts, he is 2-4 with a 4.01 ERA. He has an opponent slash line of .258/.313/.376 versus the Yankees. Tonight he is making his ninth start of the season. Cashner...

O's Game 1 game blog: David Hess faces the Yankees
The Orioles have not lost since Saturday. They are 1-0 since then, beating the Los Angeles Angels Sunday behind John Means and now they've been rained out twice in New York. Today the Orioles and Yankees will play a straight doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. In Game 1, right-hander David Hess (1-4, 5.50 ERA) gets the start. Hess got off to a strong start to the 2019 season but has struggled lately. He threw 6 1/3 no-hit innings on April 1 at Toronto, his first start of the year. He had a 3.32...

Elias on draft: "A rare opportunity to get an impact player"
We are now less than three weeks from June 3, the first day of the First-Year Player Draft. That is going to be a huge day and night for the Orioles, who will make the first pick in the first round for just the second time in club history. The draft began in 1965. In 1989, the Orioles made LSU right-handed pitcher Ben McDonald the top pick in the first round. The Orioles have never had the No. 2 pick and selected No. 3 just once and took Manny Machado there in 2010. Almost every mock draft...

Orioles
Givens provides the bullpen innings and leadership
Right-handed reliever Mychal Givens made some fans nervous when he struggled badly early in spring training. Then Givens had an ERA of 5.00 after his first seven regular-season appearances. But he looks locked in now. He fanned two in a 1-2-3 ninth inning on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels in his latest strong outing. He was throwing mid-90s heat with a solid slider. Over his last seven games, Givens has an ERA of 0.93. He's thrown 9 2/3 innings, allowing one run and six hits while...

The Orioles and Yankees hope to get their game in tonight at Yankee Stadium. But the tarp was on the field as game time was approaching, and tonight's game will begin with a rain delay at the scheduled 6:35 p.m. starting time. The Orioles' starting pitching has been better in a recent stretch of games. Tonight, weather permitting, we find out if right-hander David Hess (1-4, 5.50 ERA) can keep that going versus a hot New York Yankees team that is closing in on first place. Orioles starting...

Pondering a few O's topics as another road trip is set to begin
After the Orioles avoided a sweep and beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-1 on Sunday, I'm wondering about a few topics and want to hear about them from Birdland today. Why all the trade talk about Trey Mancini?: Fans are not in a hurry to move this guy out of here, are they? On my postgame radio show, one of the most frequently asked questions is "Will the Orioles trade Mancini, and if so, what could they get for him?" Are fans just excited by trade talks? Mancini, believe it or not, is not even...

He did it again: John Means pitches the Orioles past the Angels
Orioles lefty John Means had to navigate through some traffic on the bases early on today. He did. Then he needed to pitch efficiently later in the game to get through six innings. He did. He gave up a solo homer to Mike Trout - who hit two here this weekend - but Means was solid once again for the Orioles, who beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-1 at Oriole Park. They improve to 14-26 and avoided a three-game sweep. The Orioles today snapped their fifth four-game losing streak of the year. They've...
