O's game blog: Going for a sweep in Atlanta
The Orioles have posted 10-7 and 7-5 wins in Atlanta, and if they get one more win at SunTrust Park today, it will represent a first for this season. While the Orioles have been swept eight times this year in series at of three or four games, they have no such sweeps themselves. But they can get one this afternoon with another victory. In the first two games of this series the Orioles have 17 runs on 22 hits and have gone 10-for-21 (.476) with runners in scoring position. That was a big change...

Young shortstop Adam Hall gets pro career going at Aberdeen

Orioles
Young shortstop Adam Hall gets pro career going at Aberdeen
When the Orioles drafted Canadian prep shortstop Adam Hall in the second round in 2017, it wasn't long before he signed and began to play in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League. He began his pro career going 6-for-9 in his first two games with a double, triple, four runs scored, a stolen base and two RBIs. Hard to get off to a much better start for the right-handed hitter from A.B. Lucas Secondary School in London, Ontario. But then Hall suffered an oblique strain that ended his 2017 season...

O's get marathon win, plus a look at the night on the farm
It was long and it was wild, and for the Orioles , Friday's marathon game that ended this morning ended up with a victory. There were smiles in the visiting dugout five hours and 21 minutes after first pitch as the Orioles outlasted first-place Atlanta 10-7 in 15 innings. Chris Davis returned to the lineup and after he walked his first time up, he homered in his second plate appearance. He connected to left field in the fifth to end a 24-game homerless streak since May 9 that had lasted 89...

O's game blog: Alex Cobb pitches series opener in Atlanta
The Orioles' two-city road trip moves on to Atlanta tonight as they open a three-game series with the Braves at SunTrust Park. The trip started with the Orioles (21-52) losing two of three at Washington. Last night's 4-2 loss was the Orioles 11th loss in 13 games and they have dropped 18 of 22 and 20 of 26 games over longer stretches.

Orioles
O's momentum quieted after Rasmus' throw (plus other notes)
WASHINGTON - It was the kind of defensive play we have not seen from the Orioles much this year and one that was big in last night's game. But it didn't serve to provide the momentum to lead to a win, it just delayed the winning runs scoring until an inning later. The Nationals' sensational rookie, Juan Soto delivered, a two-run double off Mychal Givens in the eighth last night to break a 2-2 tie as Washington beat the Orioles 4-2 at Nats Park. The O's lost two of three in the series. But...

WASHINGTON - Right-hander Kevin Gausman recorded a quality start and the Orioles became the first team this year to hit more than one homer in a game off three-time Cy Young Winner Max Scherzer. But that didn't get them a win tonight at Nationals Park. The Nats' 19-year-old rookie sensation Juan Soto delivered his latest big hit. This was a two-run double to left center in the eighth as the Nats broke a 2-2 tie and beat the Orioles 4-2 in front of 36,868. The Orioles fall to 21-52 and went...

WASHINGTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he expects first baseman Chris Davis to return to the starting lineup tomorrow night when the Orioles begin a three-game series in Atlanta. When the Orioles play in Washington tonight, Davis will not be in the lineup for the eighth consecutive game since his last start, June 11 versus Boston, when he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts to drop his average to .150. Davis' OPS has decreased each month, from .559 in April to .453 in May to .254 in...

WASHINGTON - After winning 3-0 last night and splitting two games, the Orioles (21-51) will win the series against the Washington Nationals (39-33) with a victory tonight.

Chris Tillman's night in Aberdeen, and other notes
Aberdeen, MD. - Before last night's Orioles game in Washington, manager Buck Showalter was asked about right-hander Chris Tillman. At the moment of Showalter's pregame interview at Nationals Park, Tillman was less than two hours away from pitching for short-season Single-A Aberdeen at Ripken Stadium to begin an injury-rehab assignment. "I want to see him get people out and pitch well," Showalter said of Tillman, who last pitched for the Orioles on May 10. "Really, that sounds simple, but I...

Chris Tillman allows three runs over two innings at Aberdeen (with quotes)
Aberdeen, MD. - Pitching in a game for the first time in nearly six weeks, Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman allowed three runs in two innings pitching tonight for short-season Single-A Aberdeen against the Tri-City ValleyCats, a Houston Astros affiliate. To say the least, the game did not start well for the right-hander, who walked the leadoff batter on five pitches and gave up a ground single to right to 2018 first-round draft pick Seth Beer. With No. 3 hitter Emmanual Valdez batting, a...

O's game blog: Andrew Cashner faces the Nationals
The Orioles and Washington Nationals have played every year since 2006, and that is 12 season series through 2017. The Orioles have won more games head-to-head seven times, the clubs tied four times and the Nationals won the season series just one time, in 2007. That is until this year. The Nationals are 4-0 against the Orioles with two games to go in the season series. So they have their second season series win over Baltimore after last night's 9-7 win in Washington. The Orioles had an early...

O's game blog: David Hess pitches Washington series opener
The Orioles' struggling offense produced just two runs in three games the last time they faced the Washington Nationals. That was against a pitching staff that currently ranks third in the majors with an ERA of 3.38 and second in rotation ERA at 3.23. In late May, the Nationals (38-32) won three at Camden Yards by scores of 6-0, 3-2 and 2-0. The Orioles were held to 20 hits and had a team slash line of .213/.260/.277 in that series.

Maine man: Ryan McKenna's breakout year on the O's farm
Minor league players improve at different stages of their careers, and to different degrees. But with his massive improvement from the 2017 season to this year, Single-A Frederick center fielder Ryan McKenna has gotten everyone's attention. With a batting average that has gained more than 100 points and an OPS that has grown by more than 300 points, McKenna has been not just the best player on his team or one of the best in the Carolina League, but one of the best in all of minor league...

As trade talk heats up, the offense breaks out
Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said trade talk started heating up in the majors around the time of the First-Year Player Draft earlier this month. Duquette said the Orioles' front office has a "sharper focus on the future" with the team buried in last place at 20-50. Duquette was my guest Sunday on "Orioles Baseball Tonight" on flagship station 105.7 FM the Fan in Baltimore. I asked Duquette for his message to fans that say they now want to see younger...

Orioles
O's offense breaks out, Peterson drives in four in win (with quotes)
When you've scored just five runs in the last three games, and three or less runs in 20 of the last 25 games, scoring 10 runs seems like an offensive explosion. It was for the Orioles today as they ended a nine-game losing streak with a 10-4 victory over the Marlins. The Orioles had scored five or less 19 straight games since scoring nine May 24 to beat the Chicago White Sox. That was also the last time they held a four-lead until today. The last time the Orioles scored this many runs they...

A loss today by the Orioles against the Miami Marlins would mean the Orioles will be swept in five of their past six series. The Birds (19-50) host the Marlins (28-43) to complete the series. Miami won 2-0 Friday night and 5-4 yesterday. The Orioles have been swept in four of their last five series, they lost three at home to Washington and two at home to the Yankees. After they swept two games on the road from the New York Mets they lost four in a row at Toronto and three at Camden Yards to...

A few notes and quotes from loss No. 50 (Dietz is an All-Star)
Well, the Orioles finally scored a few runs. But they still lost 5-4 on Saturday to the Miami Marlins. The Orioles are 19-50 and have lost nine in a row overall and 11 straight at home. That's a lot of losing. The last time the Orioles lost 50 games this fast was actually not that long ago. The 2010 Orioles also started 19-50. That club began the year going 19-52, but they played three games over .500 from that point on, going 47-44 to finish at 66-96 for the season. The most losses ever by an...

Losing streak reaches nine as O's fall to Miami (with quotes)
The Orioles were not held to three runs or less again today, but right-hander Alex Cobb didn't have the bounceback outing he wanted, either. It led to Miami beating the Orioles 5-4 at Oriole Park to take the first two games in this series. The Orioles (19-50) have lost nine in a row - six by two runs or less - and 16 of their last 18 games. They have lost 11 in a row at home where they are 10-23. Miami (28-43) has won five of six and eight of its past 12 games. The Orioles' 11 consecutive...
