O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces Tampa Bay
The Orioles were a strike away from a win last night, but they could not get that 27th out or that last strike to wrap up a victory. Tampa Bay tied it in the ninth against Brad Brach and won it in the 10th against Darren O'Day. Today's scheduled start of 4:05 p.m. has been delayed by the threat of inclement weather with storms on the way. The tarp is on the field. Update: We are underway at Camden Yards. After a rain delay of 1 hour and 12 minutes, first pitch was at 5:17 p.m. The Rays' 6-4...

Zach Britton feels ready to rejoin the Orioles
Orioles closer Zach Britton has pronounced himself ready to return to the big league club after pitching back-to-back days the last two days for Double-A Bowie and Single-A Frederick. He still does have one more rehab outing to go Monday at Triple-A Norfolk and his official return should be next Wednesday in Milwaukee. Last night, Britton pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning at Frederick. It was his sixth minor league rehab outing spread through four different affiliates, with Norfolk being the...

The scoop on Schoop: Coolbaugh on his breakout season

Orioles
The scoop on Schoop: Coolbaugh on his breakout season
With a batting average hovering near .300 and an OPS 130 points ahead of last year, Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop is having his best season. The 25-year-old from Curacao is maturing on offense before our very eyes with a career-best walk rate and is on pace for 31 homers and 100 RBIs. Orioles hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh has watched Schoop raise his game while avoiding pitches down in the zone. Schoop has chased fewer pitches this year and he has sure done damage with those that are...

One strike from victory, O's instead lose in extras (quotes added)

Orioles
One strike from victory, O's instead lose in extras (quotes added)
One strike away from a win that would have moved them into third place, instead the Orioles suffered a deflating extra-inning loss tonight. Steven Souza Jr.'s three-run homer in the 10th off Darren O'Day lifted Tampa Bay to the 6-4 victory. After Brad Brach suffered a blown save with two outs in the ninth as the Rays tied it, O'Day came on for the 10th of a 3-3 game. He walked Corey Dickerson, who advanced to second on a groundout. Then he intentionally walked Logan Morrison. That set the...

Orioles
O's game blog: Chris Tillman on the mound in series opener
Last night the Orioles saw one struggling right-hander pitch a gem to lead them to a win in Toronto. Can it happen for them again tonight as they open a series in Baltimore? Chris Tillman (1-5, 8.39 ERA) will make his 11th start of 2017, looking to jump-start a season that has been running in neutral for him. The Orioles host Tampa Bay in their final home series before the All-Star break. Over his last four starts, Tillman has pitched to a 13.80 ERA and has given up five or more runs each time....

Left-hander DL Hall on signing with and joining the Orioles
It has been quite a day for Orioles' first-round draft pick DL Hall, the prep lefty from Valdosta, Ga. He officially signed with the organization earlier today. He made his first visit to Baltimore and Camden Yards and got introduced to the Baltimore media during a press conference before tonight's game.

Orioles
O's sign top draft pick DL Hall
The Orioles have signed their first-round selection in the 2017 First-Year Player Draft. The team has come to terms of a signing bonus with high school left-hander DL Hall. Hall's bonus amount is exactly $3 million, which is just over the slot amount for that pick of $2,892,400, MASNSports.com has learned. Hall was taken No. 21 in round one out of Valdosta (Ga.) High School. The 18-year-old Hall pitched to a 1.36 ERA this season. In 51 1/3 innings he allowed 24 hits for a .129 average against...

Another look at a brilliant, yet unlikely pitching performance

Orioles
Another look at a brilliant, yet unlikely pitching performance
TORONTO - Don't over-analyze it, just enjoy it. Maybe that is the point we have reached with Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez. Will we get the good Ubaldo or bad one? On this night we got a great one. On the same mound where he gave up the homer that ended the Orioles' season last October, Jiménez was dominant against the Toronto Blue Jays. Eight scoreless on 98 pitches. He needed only 27 pitches to get the first nine outs and threw 13 or fewer pitches in the first, second, third,...

Ubaldo Jiménez on his dominant start, plus other postgame quotes
TORONTO - On April 17, 2010, then-Colorado Rockies right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez threw a no-hitter at Atlanta in a 4-0 win. Tonight, he said the quality of his pitches compared to that outing. Jiménez was dominant against the Toronto Blue Jays, allowing just two doubles over eight scoreless innings as the Orioles beat Toronto 2-0 to take two of three here. "Yeah (this compared to the no-hitter). It felt pretty good," he said. "I could throw any pitch in any count. Everything was moving....

Jiménez throws eight scoreless innings as O's blank Blue Jays
TORONTO - Coming off a start where he allowed a career-high-tying nine runs in just 2 1/3 innings, no one could have expected this. But Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez blanked the Toronto Blue Jays on two hits over eight innings as the Orioles beat the Jays 2-0 in front of 37,291 at Rogers Centre. It was a sensational outing for a pitcher that began the night at 2-3 with a 7.26 ERA. Jiménez allowed just one walk and had eight strikeouts, throwing 98 pitches, 71 for strikeouts. He was...

Showalter on Sisco and Scott (O's lead 2-0)
TORONTO - The Orioles will send two players to the All-Star Futures Game set for Sunday, July 9 in Miami: Triple-A Norfolk catcher Chance Sisco and Double-A Bowie pitcher Tanner Scott. They will play for Team USA against the World Team. Sisco played in the game last year and homered in his hometown of San Diego. Sisco is batting .266/.342/.383 with 16 doubles, three homers and 28 RBIs. He is batting .311 with an OPS of .805 in 21 games this month. He was ranked before the season as the...

TORONTO - Before his team meets Toronto in the final game of a three-game series tonight, Orioles manager Buck Showalter provided another positive report on Orioles closer Zach Britton. Britton pitched the fourth inning today for Double-A Bowie in a win over Altoona. He got a groundout and two strikeouts on 14 pitches with eight strikes. "He got the win," Showalter said. "He got the lineup card. I started to ask him when was the last time he got a win at Double-A? No, it went well and he...

Givens on his strong season and getting the band back together
TORONTO - Orioles reliever Mychal Givens had a very solid 2016 season. He is having an even better 2017. Last year, he went 8-2 with an ERA of 3.13 and a WHIP of 1.272. This season, he is 6-0 with a 2.31 ERA and a WHIP of 1.077. Givens has made dramatic improvement in getting left-handed batters out. Last season, they hit .366 with an OPS of 1.025 against him.

TORONTO - The Orioles have won all three previous series this season against the Toronto Blue Jays. To go 4-for-4 they need to win the rubber match tonight at Rogers Centre. The Orioles won the series opener 3-1 on Tuesday night, but were blanked on five hits 4-0 last night. They were shut out for the fifth time while Toronto pitched its fifth shutout. The Orioles are 3-10 when held to five or fewer hits. Toronto is 37-40, and has lost four of six and seven of 12 games. The Blue Jays are 20-18...

Orioles
Another slow night on offense, plus more O's notes and quotes
TORONTO - The Orioles offense has been so inconsistent this year that when they fail to score like last night, you figure to put more blame on their hitters than pass on credit to the opposing pitcher. But last night tipping your hat to Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman was probably just fine. He threw a strong game at the Orioles and had them pounding the ball into the Rogers Centre turf. They were held to five hits and struck out 12 times in the 4-0 loss. They have been shut out five...

Orioles
Wrapping up 4-0 loss by Orioles
TORONTO - Looking to get back over the .500 mark for the first time since they were 31-30, the Orioles were denied tonight. Mostly by the right arm of a pitcher looking to bounce back from his worst start of the season. Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman blanked them over 7 2/3 innings, as Toronto beat the Orioles 4-0 at Rogers Centre. The O's failed to produce their first four-game road win streak of the year and are 38-39. Stroman gave up seven runs in four innings his last time out against...

Stroman shuts down Orioles as Blue Jays win 4-0
TORONTO - The Orioles did well against Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman last year when he posted a 7.04 ERA against Baltimore in four starts. But it was a different story tonight in front of 38,847 at Rogers Centre. Stroman pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings as Toronto beat the Orioles 4-0 to improve to 37-40 while dropping Baltimore back under the .500 mark at 38-39. The right-hander was pretty dominant, allowing just five singles - no runner even reached second base while he was in the game....

Hyun Soo Kim reacts to Pagan's sentencing (O's down 4-0)
TORONTO - Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim was back in the spotlight today - and not for the right reason. The man that threw a beer can at him last October from the Rogers Centre left field stands was sentenced in Toronto this morning. For throwing that can that just missed hitting Kim as was making a catch in deep left, Ken Pagan was given 12 months of probation and 200 hours of community service while being banned from Major League Baseball games for a year. During that time, he cannot go...

Pregame notes on Tillman, Britton and more
TORONTO - Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman threw a bullpen session here earlier today and is now headed back to Baltimore, where his wife is expecting a baby at any time. For now, Tillman is still scheduled to start Friday's opener of the series with the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park. If he has to leave the team before that, right-hander Dylan Bundy, currently slated to pitch Saturday, would be moved up to Friday's start. Meanwhile, O's closer Zach Britton will have his fifth of seven...

TORONTO - A win here tonight would give the Orioles (38-38) an over-.500 record and their longest winning streak since they took six in a row from May 4-9. The Orioles' 3-1 win here Tuesday night was their third in a row, their longest win streak since taking three straight May 31-June 2. The Orioles also have a three-game road winning streak and they have not won four in a row on the road all season.
