Alex Cobb finished what he started, plus farm notes
The Orioles have played two pretty solid games in Cleveland this weekend and they posted an impressive 4-2 win on Saturday afternoon to end the Indians' six-game win streak. Right-hander Alex Cobb had another strong start. In fact, he pitched a complete-game five-hitter to improve to 4-15 with a 5.09 ERA. Cobb posted his fourth career complete game and his first nine-inning complete-game since a shutout versus Oakland on Aug. 23, 2012. Cobb has posted five straight quality starts with a 2.06...

Orioles
O's game blog: Alex Cobb has a 2.17 ERA over his last six starts
After right-hander David Hess delivered the Orioles' fifth quality start in the last 10 games last night, right-hander Alex Cobb (3-15, 5.31 ERA) will look to add to that total this afternoon. After Friday's 2-1 loss at Cleveland, the Orioles play the second game of a three-game set with the Indians. Cobb has two of those five quality starts and he's been pitching his best ball of the year lately. Cobb has allowed exactly one earned run in four of his past five starts. He has recorded four...

A few notes on Hess, Núñez, Hall and Thome

Orioles
A few notes on Hess, Núñez, Hall and Thome
The Orioles are now 50 games under .500 at 36-86 after Friday's 2-1 loss at Cleveland. The Orioles are 15-46 on the road with 17 losses in their last 20 away from Oriole Park. With 40 games to go, the Orioles would have to go 27-13 to avoid 100 losses. Despite another loss, right-hander David Hess pitched well enough to win and that was a positive development. He recorded his first quality start since June 7 and his fifth on the year. After an extended stretch of tough starts, Hess may be...

After SEC success, Blaine Knight starts pro career at Aberdeen

Orioles
After SEC success, Blaine Knight starts pro career at Aberdeen
ABERDEEN, Md. - He has pitched in big-time Southeastern Conference college games on Friday nights for two years. Those are high-intensity, high-pressure games in the top college league in the country. A lot is riding on every pitch. In the college game, Friday night starters are the aces for each club, and their rabid fans expect them to win. University of Arkansas right-hander Blaine Knight seemed to thrive in that pressure cooker. He pitched well enough this year to lead Arkansas to the...

Orioles
A look at Zac Lowther, the O's minor league ERA leader
In a year in which a few Orioles pitchers have excelled on the farm there are more than a few contenders for the Jim Palmer award, which goes to the minor league Pitcher of the Year in the O's system. Just to name several in no particular order, there are Keegan Akin, DL Hall, Michael Baumann, Brenan Hanifee, Cameron Bishop, John Means and even the defending winner from 2017, Alex Wells, who pitched in the All-Star Futures Game. Those pitchers have been solid. But 22-year-old lefty Zac...

Orioles
O's game blog: Dylan Bundy and O's go for sweep against Mets
As the Orioles look for a two-game sweep of the New York Mets tonight, they will also look for right-hander Dylan Bundy (7-10, 4.70 ERA) to get back on track. In his last start versus Boston, Bundy went five innings and allowed eight hits and eight runs (seven earned). Over his past six starts since the beginning of July, Bundy is 1-3 with a 7.72 ERA and has allowed 11 homers. He has yielded nine homers his past four starts. This stretch comes after Bundy went 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA in June. He...

Adam Jones on Cedric Mullins and playing in right, plus farm notes

Orioles
Adam Jones on Cedric Mullins and playing in right, plus farm notes
Maybe playing right field is going to be good for Adam Jones on offense. I'm kidding here, but Jones did go 2-for-4 last night with a double and solo homer. In five games as a right fielder, he's 7-for-20 and batting .350/.409/.600 with an OPS of 1.009. Interviewed after last night's 6-3 win over the New York Mets, Jones wasn't offering much yet when asked how he's getting along in right field. "Fine," he said. "Less running. I've only been at it five games, so I'll let you know when...

Cashner was solid and Davis hits go-ahead homer (with quotes)

Orioles
Cashner was solid and Davis hits go-ahead homer (with quotes)
Getting a solid starting pitching effort and a key late-game homer led the Orioles to a win tonight over the New York Mets. When the 2018 season began, they probably envisioned more than a few games going this way, but at least it did tonight to keep the Orioles from falling 50 games under the .500 mark. Chris Davis homered in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and Andrew Cashner pitched a strong seven innings in a 6-3 win over the Mets. The Orioles are 36-84 for the season and 3-0 versus the Mets....

O's game blog: Andrew Cashner pitches series opener against Mets
When they played a two-game series against the New York Mets in early June at Citi Field, the Orioles swept the two games. They won 2-1 and 1-0 behind Alex Cobb and Dylan Bundy. In those games, O's pitchers allowed one run and eight hits. Tonight they host the Mets to begin another two-game series. This one begins at 7:05 p.m. at Camden Yards and continues on Wednesday night.

Cody Carroll starts to settle in with O's, looks for consistent results
New bullpen right-hander Cody Carroll has pitched four times for the Orioles since they acquired him from the Yankees in the July 24 trade for closer Zach Britton. Carroll pitched two scoreless innings his first two times out on 31 pitches. But his last two games have seen him walk five and allow three runs over 1 2/3 innings. After posting strong numbers this year in Triple-A, he is now trying to find his way in the majors for the first time. He's trying to get to that point where a young...

Orioles
All this losing could lead the Orioles to the top draft pick
You get very few rewards for losing, but a reward of sorts for the 2018 Orioles with all their losing would be a high draft pick in 2019. Perhaps, for just the second time in team history, the Orioles will secure the No. 1 pick in the June 2019 First-Year Player Draft, for losing more than any other this year. But for that distinction, they have a challenger. As bad as the Orioles have been, the Kansas City Royals are just about right there with them. Currently, the Orioles have the worst...

Winless weekend not uneventful for the Orioles
The Orioles went 0-4 over the weekend versus Boston and fell to 49 games under .500 at 35-84 after Sunday's loss. Boston completed the four-game sweep, but not everything from the weekend was a downer. Looking back at the weekend: Mullins arrives: The Orioles finally called up Cedric Mullins and we had a changing of the guard in the outfield. Mullins took over in center and Adam Jones moved to right. Jones not only welcomed Mullins with open arms and was happy to turn over center field to him,...

Chris Sale fans 12 and Boston completes sweep (quotes added)
Boston left-hander Chris Sale was dominating the Orioles today for five innings. But in the sixth they got a reprieve when the Red Sox went to right-hander Tyler Thornburg. The O's were saved by the fact that Sale was coming off the disabled list and Boston held him to 68 pitches this afternoon. But they were 68 very impressive pitches. His five scoreless innings led Boston to a 4-1 win today as the Red Sox swept this four-game series. It's their first four-game sweep at Camden Yards since...

After allowing 19 runs in a series-opening loss to Boston on Friday night, the Orioles gave up 11 runs in two games Saturday.

J.D. Martinez homers twice as Boston sweeps (quotes added)
It was a night where the Orioles took an early lead but failed to max out their scoring chances in those innings. They could have used those runs later on. J.D. Martinez hit two homers as Boston came from 2-0 down in the third to beat the Orioles 6-4 tonight at Oriole Park. The Red Sox (84-35) improved to 13-2 versus the Orioles (35-83), won for the ninth time in 10 games, and 28th in their past 34 contests. They are 42-20 in road games and sweep the day-night doubleheader. The Orioles are 0-3...
