Orioles
O's lose late lead and fall 7-5 in 10 to the Yankees (postgame quotes)
The Orioles bullpen has had some good moments in recent games. But tonight will not be added to the list. The New York Yankees scored two in the eighth to tie the game and three in the 10th to win 7-5 over the Orioles at Camden Yards. The Orioles (37-91) have lost five in a row, seven of eight and 16 of the last 20 games. New York (80-47) has the second-best record in the majors, won for the 12th time in 17 games and is now 7-6 against the Orioles. O's right-hander Cody Carroll, traded from...

O's game blog: Orioles host Yankees as homestand begins
After a 1-5 road trip and an off-day, the Orioles begin a six-day, seven-game homestand tonight at Oriole Park. They are looking to break a four-game losing streak as they host the Yankees to start a series that includes Saturday's day-night doubleheader. Toronto will be in Baltimore starting Monday for a three-game series. While the Orioles are just 1-12 this season versus Toronto and 2-14 against Boston, they are 6-6 versus the Yankees. They won the season series in three straight years from...

Zach Britton on returning to Baltimore with the Yankees

Orioles
Zach Britton on returning to Baltimore with the Yankees
When former Orioles closer Zach Britton walked underneath the stands at Camden Yards today and down a tunnel, his destination for the first time in this park was the visiting clubhouse. He made it there eventually. "Walking down the tunnel and going past the home side, I stopped in for a second just to say hi," Britton said this afternoon during an interview in the Yankees dugout. "I've never been on the visiting side, so this is all new. I tried to talk to teammates that I didn't get a...

O's are settling in with speed atop the lineup

Orioles
O's are settling in with speed atop the lineup
We have seen it for five games now: center fielder Cedric Mullins as the Orioles leadoff batter and followed in the batting order by infielder Jonathan Villar hitting second. It certainly provides the Orioles with the kind of speed at the top of the order that we have not seen often in recent years. To this point the duo has not had either a significant impact or impressive stats batting at the top of the order. But the sample is small and I'm all for seeing more of it and seeing what those...

A look at the rotation recently, plus notes on Castro, Hess and more

Orioles
A look at the rotation recently, plus notes on Castro, Hess and more
TORONTO - The Orioles' starting rotation has had a wild ride the last turn through. On Saturday, Alex Cobb pitched a complete game, allowing two runs at Cleveland on 100 pitches. Yesterday, David Hess went seven innings, allowing three hits and one run at Toronto. But in between, the trio of Yefry Ramírez, Andrew Cashner and Dylan Bundy allowed 19 runs in 13 innings. Ramírez has allowed 15 walks and 20 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings in his past four starts. Bundy has allowed 21 earned...

David Hess was strong, but trip ends with yet another Toronto loss

Orioles
David Hess was strong, but trip ends with yet another Toronto loss
TORONTO - Today, Orioles right-hander David Hess controlled what he could control. He pitched a gem at Toronto. But he could not help an offense that got just two hits or a bullpen that gave up five runs after he left the game. The Orioles lost 6-0 today to Toronto to fall to 37-90 for the year and go 0-10 at Rogers Centre this season. But Hess seems to have turned his season back around. He had a four-start stretch in June where he gave up 21 earned runs in 17 2/3 innings. Now, over his last...

Orioles
David Hess takes tough loss and O's go 0-10 in Toronto
TORONTO - Who knew that Orioles right-hander David Hess, entering with an ERA of 5.95 and Toronto lefty Thomas Pannone, making his first big league start, would produce such a great pitcher's duel. But that duo did today at Rogers Centre. Hess took a no-hitter to the fifth and Pannone to the seventh. In the end the game was decided in the seventh inning when the O's blew a big rally and Toronto got a key home run. And the Blue Jays win was cemented and the pitcher's duel ended with a...

Showalter pregame on Trumbo and more (plus a game update)
TORONTO - The Orioles are still waiting to hear the decision by Mark Trumbo of the next course of action for his injured right knee. Trumbo went on the disabled list Monday with right knee inflammation. He has sought several opinions including one from Dr. James Andrews and one from Dr. Leigh Ann Curl, the head orthopaedic surgeon for the Baltimore Ravens. The Orioles would hate to lose Trumbo for an extended period. Since the All-Star break, he is hitting .284 with five homers and 16...

TORONTO - Well this is the Orioles last chance. Last chance to win a game in Toronto in the 2018 season.

Message to Mullins: Make improvements or possibly give up switch-hitting

Orioles
Message to Mullins: Make improvements or possibly give up switch-hitting
TORONTO - When it comes to exciting rookie center fielder Cedric Mullins, no doubt he has impressed Orioles manager Buck Showalter in many ways. With his speed, his defense, his maturity. But this year it was how he attacked a weakness during his time in the minor leagues that may have impressed his manager the most. In 2016 and 2017 on the farm, the switch-hitting Mullins produced much better numbers batting left-handed than he did hitting lefties from the right side. Mullins knew he needed to...

Bundy hit hard as O's lose again (Hunter Harvey update)
TORONTO - Tonight it went from bad to worse for struggling Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy. After giving up 15 runs in his past two starts, he allowed seven more, and three more home runs, as Toronto beat the Orioles 8-2 at Rogers Centre. He failed to get an out in the fifth inning and allowed at least one run in four of the five innings in which he took the mound. Bundy went four innings plus two batters and gave up 10 hits, with no walks and three strikeouts. He threw 72 pitches and is now...

O's set most of rotation for weekend (plus a game update)
TORONTO - We are still waiting to hear further word on Mark Trumbo, who went on the disabled list yesterday due to right knee inflammation. He can come back off the DL for the game at Kansas City on Aug. 31. But whether he will make it back for that game seems to be in question. Manager Buck Showalter said the team got an update from the latest MRI, and that he might have more on that for reporters after the game. "He talked to Mike (Jacobs, team orthopedist) afterwards and he's exploring his...

Miguel Castro on meeting his baseball hero
TORONTO - If you are a pitcher from the Dominican Republic in your 20s, you probably admire the great Pedro Martinez, a Dominican native and national baseball Hall of Famer. He was an eight-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young Award Winner. Miguel Castro is a 23-year-old O's pitcher from La Romana, Dominican Republic. Through the magic of television, he met his baseball hero yesterday, although he didn't know it was going to happen. Castro and interpreter Ramón Alarcón went on MLB...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces Toronto at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - For the Orioles, it's another night and another chance to get a win at Rogers Centre. They are 0-8 in the ballpark this season with several close losses, like last night's 5-3 defeat.

Dylan Bundy pitches tonight, searching for answers and results
TORONTO - When Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy takes the mound tonight at Toronto's Rogers Centre he will try to get his season - one that once looked very promising - turned back around. Bundy began the year with an ERA of 1.42 through five starts. In June his ERA was 1.98 for the month and 3.75 for the year as June ended. But that ERA has been on a steady climb upward lately and Bundy's homer rate has gone up again. In seven starts since the calender turned to July, he is 1-4 with an ERA...

Orioles
O's lose 5-3, fall to 0-8 at Toronto for the season (with quotes)
TORONTO - The Orioles still don't have what it takes this year to win at Rogers Centre. An early lead tonight certainly wasn't enough, as Kendrys Morales homered twice in Toronto's series-opening 5-3 win in front of 25,031. The Orioles (37-88) fall to 1-3 on this road trip and to 0-8 at Rogers Centre with two games remaining in the season series. Toronto is 10-1 on the season against the Orioles - its most wins against Baltimore since recording 15 in 2010. Toronto (56-69) snapped a four-game...

TORONTO - When he met with reporters before tonight's game, Orioles manager Buck Showalter still had not gotten the results of an MRI on the right knee of Mark Trumbo. Trumbo, batting .261 with 17 homers and 44 RBIs, went on the 10-day disabled list today with right knee inflammation. The Orioles are still trying to determine the timetable for his return.

A look at mounting strikeouts in MLB and the O's record in Toronto
This could prove to be a unique year in Major League Baseball. It could turn out to be the first one we've ever seen where there are more strikeouts than base hits. Years ago, there was no chance we would see that. But in an excellent column recently in the New York Times, Tyler Kepner wrote this: "This could be the first season in major league history to feature more strikeouts than hits, a slowdown that worries many league officials. Thirty years ago, batters compiled nearly 13,000 more...
