Will O's blowout win lead to good weekend at Fenway Park?
For the Orioles, finally a two-game winning streak. They haven't had one since winning three in a row from Aug. 5-7. But after a 12-inning win Wednesday, they crushed Boston last night 16-3 in the series opener at Fenway Park. It was a season high in runs for the Orioles and they tied a season high with 20 hits. They surpassed the previous best when they beat St. Louis 15-7 on June 17. This was the seventh time this season the Orioles have scored 12 or more runs and the 15th time they have...

Orioles
O's game blog: Hellickson faces Porcello in series opener
For the first time since late July, the Orioles will play an American League East opponent tonight. They begin a three-game series at Boston's Fenway Park against the first-place Red Sox. The Orioles (62-65) are tied for third and 11 games behind Boston (73-54). The Orioles are three games out for the second AL wild card, but there are four teams closer to that current second wild card team, which is Minnesota, than the Orioles. The Red Sox own a 4 1/2-game lead in the AL East and have been...

Trey Mancini had help for his slump buster, plus other notes

Orioles
Trey Mancini had help for his slump buster, plus other notes
It was a slump, but it didn't last long. All hitters go through them and Trey Mancini recently found that he was dealing with one. Before the series with Oakland that started Monday and ended yesterday, Mancini was 2-for-26 his previous seven games. He went 0-for-11 in the series versus the Angels. His average dropped from .297 to .282. But manager Buck Showalter has said each time this year when Mancini has been challenged by a cold streak at-bat it didn't last long. He always broke out of...

Orioles
Zach Britton on his left knee and other clubhouse quotes
After playing over four hours, blowing leads of five runs and two runs, but winning on a walk-off extra innings homer, the Orioles emerged with a victory today but also some concern over their closer. And not necessarily because left-hander Zach Britton finally blew a save for the first time since Sept. 20, 2015. But because after the game it was revealed that a left knee injury has been bothering Britton recently. He will have an MRI on the knee tomorrow. "Gosh, I've probably had it since...

Manny Machado's walk-off HR gives O's win over Oakland

Orioles
Manny Machado's walk-off HR gives O's win over Oakland
The Orioles lost leads of 6-1 and 7-5, but they didn't lose this game. In fact, they won it in walk-off fashion, but it took awhile. After Oakland tied the game in the ninth off Zach Britton, the Orioles won it in the 12th inning when Manny Machado led off with a homer to left-center that just made it into the stands. That gave the Orioles an 8-7 win as they improved to 10-2 in extra innings. Machado hit No. 28 on a 1-1 slider from Simon Castro. He has seven homers and 18 RBIs over his last 11...

Orioles
O's game blog: Dylan Bundy pitches Oakland series finale
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy has been pretty good when pitching on extra rest this year. He takes the mound today with 10 days rest as he tries to pitch the Orioles past Oakland in the third and deciding game of this series. Bundy's last start was Aug. 12 against the same Oakland team he faces today. He got the win that night, allowing three runs over six innings. In his last three starts, Bundy is 3-0 with a 2.14 ERA. In four starts with six days or more rest in 2017, Bundy is 3-1 with a...

The O's rotation and its latest turn for the worse
Over their last five series, counting the current one versus Oakland, the Orioles are 5-0 in series-opening games. They are 1-9 in all other games in those series. Yikes. They have not won any of the previous four series but could win this one if they beat Oakland behind right-hander Dylan Bundy this afternoon at Camden Yards. Anyone that has been even remotely paying attention the last week or so could probably tell the Orioles rotation has taken another turn south. This follows a stretch...

Ubaldo Jiménez allows three homers as the A's beat the O's

Orioles
Ubaldo Jiménez allows three homers as the A's beat the O's
Last night, left-hander Wade Miley provided the Orioles with what has lately been a rare quality start. But they could not get two in a row tonight. Right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez allowed five runs and three homers over five innings as the Oakland Athletics beat the Orioles 6-4 at Oriole Park. A late-game O's rally fell short. They pulled within 5-4 on Jonathan Schoop's two-run single in the last of the eighth. But a solo homer in the ninth by the A's Khris Davis off Darren O'Day accounted...

O's game blog: O's look for a series win against Oakland
After last night's 7-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics, the Orioles (61-64) host the A's (54-71) tonight in the second game of a three-game series. Adam Jones homered twice last night and went 4-for-4 as the Orioles improved to 3-2 versus Oakland, 37-25 at home and 10-10 in August. Jones hit his 23rd and 24th home runs. This was his second multi-home run game of the season (also July 9 at Minnesota) and the 12th of his career. He has 38 multi-hit games, the second-most on the team. Jones...

Manny Machado goes to bat for Scott Coolbaugh, plus other notes
During an interview to discuss his American League Player of the Week award, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado took two opportunities to pass on some props to Orioles hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh. It seems at times this year, when the team's hitting or rotation has struggled, some fans point a finger at Coolbaugh or pitching coach Roger McDowell. But unsolicited, Machado said of Coolbaugh: "He has had a big influence on me doing well. Staying on me every day. Getting in the cage, talking...

Adam Jones homers twice as O's take series opener (quotes added)
When the Orioles faced Athletics right-hander Chris Smith on the road Aug. 10, they homered four times against him. Tonight, they added two more, as they beat Smith and the A's 7-3 at Oriole Park to start a three-game series. After losing four of five and eight of their past 12 games, the Orioles got the win tonight to improve to 37-25 at home and to 61-64 on the year. This is the fifth straight series in which the Orioles won the first game. They failed to win any of the previous four. They...

At 60-64, the Orioles have lost four of their last five and eight of last 12 games. They are 0-3-1 in the last four series, even after winning the opening game of all four sets. For the season, the Orioles are 21-20 in series-opening games and 13-7 in such games at home. They are 36-25 at Oriole Park and 12-6-2 in 20 home...

After a week that included not one but two grand slams, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado today was named the latest American League Player of the Week. "It is always an honor," Machado said this afternoon. "At this point of the season, all we are trying to do is play for the team. Trying to get some Ws, which is the most important part. This is all that matters from now on. It's a great accomplishment and I'm honored, but I've got to keep swinging the bat and keep playing...

Tillman's struggles, falling four games under and farm notes

Orioles
Tillman's struggles, falling four games under and farm notes
In 2013, Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman was an American League All-Star. In the 2014 through 2016 seasons, he was the Orioles' opening day starter. From 2012 through 2016, his ERA was under 4.00, but now he sports an ERA of 7.75. Tillman's continuous struggles is one of the biggest mysteries of the 2017 season. He has contended several times he is not hurt. If he is not, why is he pitching so badly this late into the season? If Tillman or the Orioles had that answer, they would have fixed...

Chris Tillman on his outing, Chris Davis on missed chances
On a day that first baseman Chris Davis returned to the Orioles lineup today and hit a solo home run, he also struck out in the sixth and ninth innings with men on base. It was a day where Orioles pitchers walked nine and the bats didn't do quite enough. The Los Angeles Angels beat the Orioles 5-4 at Camden Yards. With eight losses in the last 12 games, the Orioles have gone from 56-56 to 60-64 and they are starting to drift back in the chase for an American League wild card spot. They have...

Angels push across go-ahead run in eighth for 5-4 win
On a day that Orioles pitchers walked nine, two free passes in the top of the eighth proved very costly. They led to the game-winning run as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Orioles 5-4 at Oriole Park. The Angels win the series, two games to one. The Orioles have now won the opening game of four straight series without winning any of the series. They fall to 60-64 and have lost eight of their past 12 games. The Orioles are four games under .500 for the first time since July 30. The O's put two...

The Orioles have split two games this weekend with the Los Angeles Angels and they host the third and deciding game this afternoon.

O's stay in win-one, lose-one mode, and Brady Anderson on HR Derby
The Orioles are still taking one step forward followed by one step back. They can't seem to build on any momentum they gather. The latest example was the walk-off grand slam hit by Manny Machado that provided an uplifting win on Friday night. It was followed by a 5-1 loss last night to the Los Angeles Angels. Over the last 12 games the Orioles have gone win, loss, loss, win, loss, win, loss, win, loss, loss, win and loss. That is a 5-7 record in that span. The Orioles scored 12 runs last...
