The official ending of a playoff run, plus more from minor league award winners
The Orioles' playoff hopes for 2017 were dashed a while ago. But it became official last night that they will not make the postseason. It had looked in the last few days like a losing season was in the offing for the Orioles. That became official last night as well. Double dagger. With their 9-6 loss to Tampa Bay, the Orioles are 74-82 with six games left. They are assured of their first losing season since 2011. With the team having lost 17 of their last 23 games, the Orioles are basically...

O's offense quiet until the ninth in loss to Rays (quotes added)
Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson gave the Orioles a quality start. But an offense that has been in a slumber for most of September was dormant again for most of tonight. The Orioles were held to five hits through eight innings and lost to Tampa Bay 9-6 in front of 42,802 at Camden Yards. The loss guarantees that the Orioles will have a losing season for the first time since 2011. They are 74-82 with six games to go. They were also officially eliminated from the American League wild card...

Orioles
O's game blog : Hellickson on the mound against Tampa Bay
After winning 3-1 over Tampa Bay on Thursday and losing 8-3 last night, the Orioles host the Rays tonight in Game 3 of the final home series of the year. At 74-81 with seven games to play, the only thing standing between the Orioles and finishing this season with a losing record is one more loss. Anything short of a 7-0 finish will ensure that. The Orioles have lost seven of nine and 13 of 16. Since they won seven in a row to improve to three games over .500 on Aug. 30, they are...

O's game blog: Jiménez faces Cobb at Camden Yards
The Orioles ended a three-game losing streak and won for just the second time in eight games when they beat Tampa Bay 3-1 on Thursday night. The Orioles host the Rays tonight in the second game of a four-game series to end the home schedule for 2017. At 74-80, the Orioles need to go 7-1 or 8-0 the rest of the way for a .500 or better finish. They have lost 15 of 21 games and are 45-33 at home. The win last night improved the Orioles' record to just 16-54 when they score three runs or less....

Mancini talks Hays and Sisco, Ynoa impresses and prospect rankings

Orioles
Mancini talks Hays and Sisco, Ynoa impresses and prospect rankings
Trey Mancini is a rookie that feels two other rookies on the Orioles are doing very well with their September call-ups. Mancini has played in 144 big league games. Austin Hays and Chance Sisco have played in a combined 18 games with the Orioles. Mancini got his September call-up last year and has gone where Hays and Sisco would like to go - he's become an everyday player for the Orioles. For now, the 25-year-old Mancini is pretty impressed with 22-year-old youngsters Hays and Sisco. Mancini...

Gabriel Ynoa pitches a gem as O's top Tampa Bay (quotes added)

Orioles
Gabriel Ynoa pitches a gem as O's top Tampa Bay (quotes added)
Orioles right-hander Gabriel Ynoa was making just his sixth career major league start tonight and third with the Orioles. If this was any sort of audition for him to be a rotation candidate for 2018, he passed the test tonight. Ynoa allowed five hits over a career-high eight innings as the Orioles beat Tampa Bay 3-1 to start a four-game series. It is the final home series of the season. Ynoa was in control most of the night. From the third batter of the third inning through the first of the...

Orioles
O's game blog: Gabriel Ynoa makes his third start
Right-hander Gabriel Ynoa (1-2, 4.18 ERA) will make his eighth appearance and third start for the Orioles as they open a four-game series tonight with the Tampa Bay Rays. It is the last home series of the 2017 season. Ynoa is getting a chance to show what he can do and maybe even get a jump on the competition for a 2018 rotation spot. His first start was at Cleveland and he went 4 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits and three runs on 77 pitches. In his last start at New York, he went 4 1/3 innings...

Orioles
Tanner Scott talks about his major league debut
Orioles lefty pitching prospect Tanner Scott got a quick introduction to the big leagues in his major league debut last night. Pitching in the eighth inning against Boston, he faced first baseman Sam Travis to start his inning. Scott threw a 99 mph fastball for ball one. He threw another at 99 mph and Travis tried to check his swing. But bat met ball and it looped into right field for a base hit. Welcome to the show, kid. "I mean, right when Sam Travis hit that I was like, 'Wow, that is how...

O's latest loss featured frustration, a hit streak and an MLB debut

Orioles
O's latest loss featured frustration, a hit streak and an MLB debut
There was frustration evident in the Orioles clubhouse last night as the team lost for the 15th time in 20 games. From the starting pitcher who provided a brief postgame interview to the closer who realized his 2017 season might be over. Six days after the shortest start of his career, one in which he allowed six runs, left-hander Wade Miley allowed six runs again. But this time he was around longer. Miley got one out and gave up six runs on 19 pitches Sept. 14 at New York. Last night he...

Chris Sale fans 13 and Boston completes sweep (with Britton update)

Orioles
Chris Sale fans 13 and Boston completes sweep (with Britton update)
For a while, Orioles lefty Wade Miley was holding the Boston Red Sox at bay. He pitched out a bases-loaded jam in the third and had not allowed a hit to that point. Earlier this season, he held Boston to two runs in 12 innings over two starts. But that run of success quickly came to a stop as Boston homered twice in the fourth to lead 4-0. The Red Sox went on to a 9-0 win tonight behind Chris Sale to improve to 88-64, sweep the three-game series and restore their American League East lead to...

Orioles
O's game blog: O's try to salvage series finale with Boston
Coming off a pair of 11-inning losses by 10-8 and 1-0 scores, the Orioles need to win tonight to avoid getting swept three straight by Boston. Although the Red Sox swept series of two and four games in Baltimore last season, their last three-game sweep at Oriole Park was from Sept. 18-20, 2009. Boston (87-64) has won 10 of its last 13 games and leads New York by 2 1/2 games atop the American League East after the Yankees won this afternoon. Boston is a season-high 23 games over .500 and is...

For his next trick, Austin Hays will bat leadoff against Chris Sale
With seven hits, including three extra-base hits his last four games, Orioles outfielder Austin Hays will put that hot streak to the test tonight against Boston left-hander Chris Sale (16-7, 2.84 ERA). The rookie will be facing a pitcher that has finished in the top six of the American League Cy Young vote in the last five years. A pitcher that leads the league with 287 strikeouts over 201 1/3 innings. He needs 13 more strikeouts to become the first AL pitcher with 300 since Pedro Martinez for...

Kevin Gausman's second half is encouraging in looking toward 2018
For the second night in a row, the Orioles lost in 11 innings to Boston. They lost once when scoring eight runs and once when allowing just one run. They were 12-2 in extra-inning games heading into this series. It was tough to lose when their starting pitcher threw as well as Kevin Gausman did last night. He pitched eight scoreless allowing just three singles to a Boston team that is leading the American League East by three games. Gausman pitched his seventh scoreless start of 2017, his fifth...

O's fall again in extra innings to Boston (with quotes)
Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman was pitching a gem, but the Red Sox pitchers were matching zeros with him. Gausman went eight innings, but the game went 11 and the winning run scored on a bases-loaded wild pitch. Boston beat the Orioles 1-0 to take the first two games of this series and win their first series this year against the Orioles, who fall to 73-79 with 10 games left. They have lost 11 of 13 games and are 5-14 over the past 19 games. Pitching the top of the 11th of a 0-0 tie,...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman looks for 12th win against Boston
After just their third extra-inning loss of the year in 12 games last night, the Orioles host Boston again tonight. It's the second game of a three-game series and seven-game homestand. The Orioles are 73-78 with 11 games to play, meaning they need to go 8-3 or better to post a .500 or better finish. They are 5-13 since the end of a seven-game winning streak. The Orioles are 44-31 at home, 35-32 against American League East opponents and 10-7 versus the Red Sox. The Orioles offense has scored...

Orioles
In a tough loss, Pedro Álvarez had a productive night for the O's
He was just 1-for-9 with the Orioles since they called up him up Sept. 1 from Triple-A Norfolk. But in a 10-8 loss to the Red Sox in 11 innings last night, Pedro Álvarez batted five times and reached base five times. Batting eighth as the designated hitter, he walked in the second and third innings, homered to right in the fifth and singled in the seventh and 10th innings. That is a 3-for-3 night with a pair of bases on balls for the veteran who re-signed with the club on March...

Boston scores two in the 11th to rally and beat O's (with quotes)
The Boston Red Sox picked up a win important to their AL East title hopes. The Orioles just added another loss and more frustration. Boston trailed by five runs in the fifth inning tonight, but rallied to tie the game and then won it 10-8 in 11 innings over the Orioles. Now 86-64, they stay three games ahead of the Yankees for first place. The Orioles fall to 73-78 with their 10th loss in the last 12 games. This was the start of the final homestand of the year.

O's game blog: O's host Boston to start final homestand
The Orioles are not officially a spoiler yet - their wild card hope is still mathematically possible - but they could make life more difficult for the AL East leading Boston Red Sox the next three nights at Camden Yards. Boston leads the division by three games over New York, but the Red Sox have not won a series against the Orioles this year. The Orioles lead the season series 10 wins to six. The clubs have split a series of two games and two series of four games each. The Orioles won a...
