O's game blog: Hellickson on mound in series finale
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles can get back to the .500 mark if they win today at the Oakland Coliseum. They have taken two of three in this series.

Orioles
Another look at Tim Beckham's amazing start with the Orioles
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles scored 12 runs on Saturday night. They had 20 hits. But they didn't hit a single homer. They did bash eight doubles, one off the team record, in the 12-5 victory over Oakland. Adam Jones continued his big series at the Oakland Colisuem, going 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Joey Rickard went 3-for-4 and scored three runs. Manny Machado drove in two. So did Chris Davis. But it was shortstop Tim Beckham, once again, who was most amazing of them all. He had his third career...

Orioles score seven runs in the first inning at Oakland
OAKLAND, Calif. - Well, that was one way to respond to a tough one-run loss on Friday night. The Orioles scored seven runs on eight hits in the top of the first inning tonight at the Oakland Coliseum. They knocked A's starter Sean Manaea out after he got just one out - and that was an out at the plate. The seven runs ties for their biggest inning of the year and matches their highest run total for any one game on this road trip. They beat the A's Thursday night 7-2. Manaea had allowed 12 runs...

Pregame notes from Oakland on Jiménez, Bundy and more

Orioles
Pregame notes from Oakland on Jiménez, Bundy and more
OAKLAND, Calif. - Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez is fine to make his next start. Jiménez fanned 11 and gave up three runs over 5 1/3 innings last night. He was pulled from the game after being hit on the right leg by a hot-smash grounder off the bat of Chad Pinder that went for an infield hit. After the game, Jiménez said he was pretty certain he was going to be fine. Manager Buck Showalter confirmed this afternoon that he is. "The biggest problem he had - it's the same place he...

Chris Tillman still waiting for first chance to pitch out of bullpen
OAKLAND, Calif. - Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman remains a member of the bullpen for now. But he is a member yet to appear in a major league game in relief yet. Since his last start on Aug. 3 at home against the Tigers, Tillman has had eight days' rest as he awaits his first appearance out of the Orioles bullpen. "I've just been going out and doing what I would normally do," he said this afternoon of the inactivity. "I'd normally play catch and try and stay ready. It's new to me, so...

One that got away: Another look at a frustrating loss
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles have had some tough losses this year. The one last night ranks pretty high on the brutal scale. Playing a bad team and six outs from victory, the Orioles instead suffered a 5-4 loss to the Athletics. Six outs from getting back to .500 and moving over .500 on this road trip, the Orioles instead find themselves this morning at 57-59 for the season and 2-3 on this 10-game West Coast trip. It unraveled quickly for reliever Brad Brach in the last of the eighth. Working...

O's can't hold late lead, fall 5-4 at Oakland (quotes added)
OAKLAND, Calif. - Right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez tonight showed some swing and miss stuff. The Orioles offense meanwhile, showed just enough stuff to get a one-run lead. But the Orioles bullpen could not close it out. Oakland scored twice in the last of eighth off right-hander Brad Brach to come from behind and beat the Orioles tonight 5-4 in front of 14,330 at the Oakland Coliseum. On to protect the 4-3 lead, Brach allowed a Matt Joyce double and Marcus Semien single to get into instant first...

Buck on Mancini; Ubaldo Jiménez fans eight over first three frames
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles' Trey Mancini went through a six-game stretch heading into last night's game where he went 3-for-23. His average dipped from .302 to .291. But that average got a jolt last night when Mancini had a huge game in the Orioles 7-2 win in the series opener. Mancini doubled to left in the second inning in his first at-bat. Then he was involved in back-to-back homers each of his next two times to bat. So he started the night 3-for-3 with three extra-base hits before he...

OAKLAND, Calf. - The Orioles lineup that took on a different look last night, with Tim Beckham leading off and Adam Jones batting fourth, has an even different look tonight. Chris Davis, who sat out last night, is back in the lineup, but batting seventh for the first time this season. Yesterday manager Buck Showalter said he wanted to give Davis a break and he sat out. He said then Davis could get a second day off, but he's back in there tonight trying to snap a 2-for-25 slump. "He's ready...

OAKLAND, Calif. - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis returns to the starting lineup tonight in Oakland, after sitting out Thursday's series opener.

OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles offense came back to life last night with nine extra-base hits, including four homers, in a 7-2 win over Oakland. Tonight we'll see if the offense can continue in the second game of this four-game series. The Orioles (57-58) can get back to the .500 mark. They are in a wild race for the second AL wild-card spot. Six teams are within 1 1/2 games of the spot which is held by Seattle and Tampa Bay jointly with 59-57 records. Minnesota is 1/2-game behind those teams...

Mancini's two-homer game and other notes from the win
OAKLAND, Calif. - If Trey Mancini was in a slump, it was hard to notice. But he did have just three hits his previous 23 at-bats going into last night's series opener at Oakland. His average had dipped below .300 and he went 0-for-11 to start the road trip. But he matched that hit total last night, going 3-for-4 with a double and two solo homers as the Orioles beat Oakland 7-2 in front of 11,386 at the Oakland Coliseum. The Orioles hit back-to-back homers twice, and both times it happened on...

OAKLAND, Calif. - In need of offense after scoring three runs over the last two games, the Orioles turned to an old friend tonight - the longball. They hit back-to-back homers on back-to-back pitches twice tonight to beat the A's 7-2 in the opener of this four-game series at Oakland Coliseum.

Showalter talks up Santander (plus a game update)
OAKLAND, Calif. - It may now be just a matter of days before the Orioles get a look at Rule 5 outfielder Anthony Santander at the major league level. Manager Buck Showalter is excited to see what he's got. The 22-year-old native of Venezuela was taken from the Indians organization last December at the Winter Meetings. Santander played for Lynchburg in the Carolina League last year. He batted .290/.368/.494 with 42 doubles, 20 home runs, 90 runs scored, 95 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 128 games....

Showalter on Davis not starting and lineup changes
OAKLAND, Calif. - With his batting average at its lowest point since he went 1-for-5 opening day, first baseman Chris Davis is not starting tonight. He is fine physically, but he has just two hits over 25 at-bats his last seven games and manager Buck Showalter will give him a day off and potentially more than that. "Just give him a day or so," Showalter said during his pregame media session. "He's fine physically. As fine as anyone can be this time of year. He's available. Just giving him...

Joey Rickard back in lineup after hit by pitch
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Orioles seemed convinced after yesterday's game that outfielder Joey Rickard was going to be fine and it turns out that is exactly the case. Rickard was hit on the batting helmet by a Troy Scribner pitch in the top of the sixth Wednesday afternoon in Anaheim. He came out of the game as Craig Gentry pinch-ran for him during the Orioles' 5-1 loss in Anaheim. But Rickard is starting tonight in Oakland, batting ninth in right field.
