O's game blog: John Means gets the start at Fenway Park
Not only did Chris Davis end his hitless streak yesterday, but his hits were big ones as the Orioles beat Boston 9-5 to even the four-game series at a win each. Davis went 3-for-5 with four RBIs, producing three hits for the first time since Aug. 28 and four RBIs for the first time since July 29. Davis ended his 0-for-54 run with a two-run single in the top of the first to start his big day. The Orioles have now outscored opponents 15-5 in the first inning, making it their best inning of the...

Orioles
Lefty Zac Lowther made strong Bowie debut, plus O's notes
After a standout 2018 season that ended with him being named the Orioles' co-Minor League Pitcher of the Year, lefty Zac Lowther moved up to Double-A Bowie this year. His first start went as many of his 2018 starts did. He threw five scoreless innings on two hits with two walks and six strikeouts. Lowther is scheduled to make his second start for Bowie this afternoon. In 23 games last summer between Single-A Delmarva and Single-A Frederick, the 22-year-old Lowther went 8-4 with a 2.18 ERA and...

Farm work: John Means made a slow yet steady rise to majors

Orioles
Farm work: John Means made a slow yet steady rise to majors
When he makes his second major league start Sunday afternoon at Boston, we might be reminded that lefty John Means beat some odds to get to that mound at Fenway Park. He was not a high draft pick, selected in round 11 in 2014 out of West Virginia University. He was never a highly ranked prospect and has never been listed among the Orioles' top 30 prospects by Baseball America. Numerous times, he saw others rated more highly get more attention, but he slowly and surely kept moving his way up...

Orioles
O's game blog: Orioles road trip begins at Fenway Park
Will going on the road be good for Orioles pitchers? So far in 2019, they've been much better and allowed fewer homers on the road than at home. During the season-opening 4-2 trip to Yankee Stadium and Rogers Centre, O's pitchers allowed six homers and posted an ERA of 4.33. During the just-completed 1-6 homestand they yielded 28 homers with an ERA of 8.29. Right-hander David Hess (1-1, 2.70 ERA) gets the start tonight to open a four-game series at Boston. For the year, Hess has thrown 13 1/3...

Orioles
After rough homestand, an O's road trip begins in Boston tonight
The Orioles lost on opening day at Yankee Stadium. But they followed that up with a four-game win streak, matching their longest streak from all of last year. But since that run, the Orioles have now lost seven of eight games. During this 1-7 stretch, the Orioles have lost by scores of 15-3, 13-2 and 10-3. They have been outscored 69-36 in those eight games. They just completed a 1-6 homestand in which they gave up 28 homers and 64 runs. O's pitchers lead the majors in homers allowed with 37...

Orioles
The A's add five more homers to take series finale
In an attempt to get his 2019 season trending up, Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy went through the Oakland A's lineup easily through three innings today. He fanned five without allowing a hit on 44 pitches. He was rolling. But it suddenly went south from there. Bundy allowed four homers over the next three innings as Oakland beat the Orioles 8-5 at Camden Yards to take three of four in this series. The Orioles have lost three straight and are 1-7 since a 4-1 start. They take a 5-8 record on...

After they lost three straight to the Yankees and two of three to the Oakland Athletics in this current series, the Orioles host the A's again this afternoon. The game marks the end of this four-game series and seven-game homestand before a road trip begins in Boston Friday night. The Orioles beat Oakland 12-4 Monday, but lost the last two nights by 13-2 and 10-3 scores. During this homestand, O's pitching has allowed 23 homers and 56 runs.

Right-hander Josh Lucas talks about joining the Orioles
After he made a favorable impression during his first spring training with the Orioles, manager Brandon Hyde told right-hander Josh Lucas he expected to see him during the regular season. And now, just 12 games into the 2019 season, that has happened. With Richard Bleier headed to the injured list and Josh Rogers optioned back to the minors after last night's game, today the Orioles added two pitchers - lefty Tanner Scott and Lucas, a 28-year-old right-hander. Lucas had his contract selected...

Pedro Severino brings experience catching Max Scherzer to Baltimore
We could not have known he would even be on the Orioles' opening day roster when spring training began. He wasn't even in the organization yet. But Pedro Severino, the O's backup catcher, joined the club when he was claimed off waivers from the Nationals on March 23. He is still settling in with his new team. Severino is 3-for-14 (.214) in four games as an Oriole. Washington signed him out of the Dominican Republic in December 2010. He was ranked among the Nats' top 16 prospects by Baseball...

Orioles
O's done in by the longball again in loss to A's
It has been a homestand where Orioles pitchers have simply given up too many homers. And it happened again tonight. Oakland homered three times in the first five innings and five times in the game to beat the Orioles 10-3 at Camden Yards. The A's (8-8) have won two of three in this series. The Orioles (5-7) are 1-5 on this homestand and have lost six of seven since their 4-1 start. O's pitchers began this game leading the majors in homers allowed with 27. They've given up 23 in the six games...

O's game blog: Dan Straily gets the start, plus farm notes
After splitting the first two games of a four-game series, the Orioles host Oakland again tonight at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Birds won 12-4 Monday and lost 13-2 last night. Since starting the year 4-1, the Orioles have lost five of six games and been outscored 51-28. Meanwhile, the Baltimore offense, held to seven hits last night, has produced four runs or less in six of the past seven games. The O's bullpen ranks 14th in the American League with an ERA of 7.87. O's pitchers have...

Josh Rogers on rejoining the Orioles
He was optioned out to Triple-A Norfolk on the last day of spring training. But 24-year-old lefty Josh Rogers officially rejoined the Orioles today. He was recalled from the Tides and takes the roster spot of pitcher Alex Cobb, who went on the injured list Tuesday. So it happened pretty fast and Rogers is back already. "I didn't really know (when I would come back)," he said this afternoon in the Orioles clubhouse. "I definitely wasn't expecting it this early. I text Alex and Cash (Andrew...

Orioles
More bullpen struggles and Ofelky Peralta's big strikeout game
There will be tough days in baseball and the Orioles had one Tuesday. They lost two pitchers to the injured list and then lost a 13-2 blowout to Oakland to fall to 5-6 on the year. They've played in three straight blowout games, losing two of them. Right-handers Nate Karns and Alex Cobb were added to the injured list yesterday. Cobb is dealing with back spasms. He had come off the IL to pitch well in the home opener versus the Yankees, allowing two runs over 5 2/3 innings. He threw his...

Orioles
O's fall behind big early and lose 13-2 to A's
One miserable inning put the Orioles in a big hole early tonight and they never climbed out of it. Oakland beat the Orioles 13-2 after losing by eight runs last night to even the series at a win each. The A's, now 7-8, scored five soft runs off left-hander John Means in the top of the second. They produced three infield hits and used one costly error and a three-run homer to take early control of the game. Four of the five runs were unearned. The Orioles allowed just two unearned runs through...

Mychal Givens on high-leverage spots, Evan Phillips on call-up
The Orioles have four pitchers with saves. But right-hander Mychal Givens, who had nine saves last year, doesn't have any yet. Givens said today he is fine with that. Getting a team win tops which pitcher might get a save chance. "That is what everyone is here to do. Whatever is asked of me to help us win. Everything else will take care of itself," said Givens, who has a 5.79 ERA in four games. Manager Brandon Hyde today said Givens will get his saves. But for now, he is using him in...

O's game blog: John Means makes first major league start versus A's
As they scored their most runs since Aug. 28 of last year, the Orioles improved to 5-5 and ended a four-game losing streak last night. They hit three triples and two homers in a 12-4 win over Oakland. Six players had multi-hit games and four players drove in two or more runs. It was the eighth time in Orioles history that the club had three triples in a game and the first time since April 29, 1993 in an 11-0 win over Minnesota. Then the triples were hit by Cal Ripken Jr., Mike Devereaux and...

A look at a solid 5-5 start and Sedlock's season debut for Frederick
So the Orioles ended a four-game losing streak with last night's 12-4 win over Oakland. They are 5-5 through 10 games. That start is more impressive when you consider a few things, such as: * The Orioles have played the Yankees six times.* They have played six of 10 games on the road.* They have played seven games versus teams that won 97 or more last year.* They have played nine games versus the American League East.* Their bullpen ERA was 7.97 through nine games.* They have used an opener...

O's losing streak ends as they rout Oakland 12-4
Before tonight's game the Orioles' Trey Mancini said a four-game losing streak would provide a test for him and his young teammates. Tonight, they passed it. They got some stellar infield defense, three triples, two homers, some clutch outs late and just enough starting pitching to beat the Oakland A's 12-4 in the opener of a four-game series. The Orioles are 5-5 at the 10-game mark, 1-3 at home and 2-2 in series openers. O's first baseman Chris Davis lined out his first three times to bat...

For the Orioles, a four-game win streak was followed by four-consecutive losses. They lost Wednesday afternoon in Toronto to end a 4-2 opening road trip and then were swept three straight by New York. The Orioles allowed 14 homers and 29 runs in that series. Tonight, their homestand continues as the Orioles (4-5), in third in the American League East, host Oakland (6-7), which is in fourth place in the AL West.
