Hearing from O's scouting director Gary Rajsich and DL Hall
CHICAGO - In a bit of a surprise, with many analysts expecting the Orioles to take a college player in the first round, they selected a high-school, left-handed pitcher with their No. 21 overall selection Monday night in the First-Year Player Draft. The O's selected DL Hall from Valdosta (Ga.) High School with the pick that began what will be 41 selections over three days for the Orioles. Hall throws a fastball that sits between 92 and 95 mph, touching 96, along with a curveball and changeup....

Wade Miley takes fall for latest loss as frustration mounts

Orioles
Wade Miley takes fall for latest loss as frustration mounts
CHICAGO - As the losses mount, so does the frustration. That was clear tonight as O's starter Wade Miley pointed the finger at himself after the Orioles' 10-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox. And then he kept blaming himself. Miley suffered his second straight short start, allowing six runs and six hits over 2 1/3 innings. By the end of the fourth, the Orioles had fallen into an 8-3 hole. O's starters have an ERA of 15.56 the past six games. The team has lost 10 straight on the road. They...

Orioles
O's dig early hole, lose fifth straight to fall to .500
CHICAGO - It was one thing for the Orioles to lose big to the first-place New York Yankees. Not that it was acceptable, but the Yanks are a hot team with the second-best record in the league. But tonight the Orioles trailed big early and then lost 10-7 in Chicago to a White Sox team that began today with the American League's worst record. Chicago knocked O's starter Wade Miley out during a four-run third inning on its way to the win at Guaranteed Rate Field to start a four-game series. On...

Pregame notes on Machado, Britton and Flaherty

Orioles
Pregame notes on Machado, Britton and Flaherty
CHICAGO - Manager Buck Showalter, who almost always proceeds with caution when talking about players returning from injury, was not ready to pronounce third baseman Manny Machado officially yet back in the lineup when he met with reporters here earlier. Machado is in the posted lineup, but the skipper said he needs to make sure Machado gets through batting practice fine. That is the expectation. What will it mean to have him back? "We're capable of winning with and without him but it...

Orioles
Manny Machado on returning to Orioles lineup tonight
CHICAGO - Orioles third baseman Manny Machado returns to the lineup tonight for the first time since Wednesday, when he got inadvertantly spiked by Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen. He missed the next four games. But his strained left wrist and sore hand made progress each day and he passed the final test here this afternoon when he took early batting practice and fielded grounders. It went well. "Good. Ready to play and go out there and help my team do whatever we can to get back on the right...

O's game blog: O's trying to avoid a sweep in the Bronx (O's lose 14-3)
The Orioles are looking to avoid a series sweep and also snap an eight-game road losing streak this afternoon in the series finale in the Bronx.

Bashed in the Bronx: Can O's regroup in series finale?
It was Wednesday night when the Orioles pulled off a second straight rally in the ninth inning against Pittsburgh that led to a second straight extra innings win. Trey Mancini homered in the ninth to tie it and in the 11th to win. It was pretty special stuff. Since then the Orioles have lost three in a row and been outscored 30-6. The Yankees have hit eight homers the past two nights. The Yankees are averaging 10.8 runs per game at Yankee Stadium against Baltimore pitching in going 4-1 this...

As they have fallen 4 1/2 games out in the American League East to tie a season high, the Orioles (31-28) play the Yankees tonight for the second game of three this weekend in the Bronx. New York is 35-23 and leading Boston by three games for first place. New York is 20-9 at home, 5-3 in June and 14-14 since moving a season-best 12 games over .500 at 21-9 on May 8.

More concerns emerge as O's lose opener at New York
So much for the feel-good vibe that surrounded the Orioles on Wednesday night after Trey Mancini's heroics against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They went back on the road and the losing resumed. They've scored three runs in two games at Washington and New York. Their bullpen collapsed late in the game last night. Doom and gloom returned to Birdland. The bigger concern is that a stretch of 12 losses in 18 games has the Orioles currently looking nothing like the team that was 22-10 on May 9. A...

O's game blog: Bundy on mound in series opener (O's lose 8-2)
Will the Orioles get at least one hit tonight with a runner in scoring position? If they do it will be the first hit with RISP that New York Yankees pitching has given up this month. Over the seven games in June, Yankee opponents are 0-for-35 with RISP. According to Elias Sports, opponents are 0-for-their-last-36 overall with RISP dating back to May 31 at Baltimore. That is the team's longest streak of hitless at-bats with RISP in the Expansion Era (since 1961) and the majors' longest streak...

O's game blog: O's have won eight of 10 against Nats (O's lose 6-1)
Once again, it's the Orioles and Nationals. This time for one night only at Nationals Park, as the clubs make up the rainout in Washington from May 11. The clubs were scheduled for a four-game, home-and-home series. The Orioles won the first two games in Baltimore, 6-4 and 5-4. The Nats rallied late to win the first in Washington 7-6. The Orioles lost that game and went on to go 3-13 over a 16-game stretch through May 28. But starting May 29, they began a nine-game homestand that ended with...

Trey Mancini: "This is a pretty special night for sure"
The Orioles' Trey Mancini had gone 21 games without a homer. Then tonight he hit one in the ninth inning to tie the game, and again in the 11th to win it. It was a remarkable performance by a player who didn't even start the game, and by a team that trailed 6-1 in the eighth. The Orioles trailed 5-3 in the ninth and won in extras last night and trailed 6-2 in the ninth tonight and won in extras. So, some Oriole magic was seen at the Yard. They beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-6 in 11 innings to...

Trey Mancini hits game-tying and game-winning homers
If Trey Mancini's first homer was pretty special tonight, his second was even better. Mancini's Oriole legend grew tonight as he hit a two-run homer in the ninth to tie the game and then a three-run homer in the 11th to win it. You had to see it to believe it. The Orioles beat the Pirates 9-6 in 11 innings. With the game tied 6-6 in the 11th, Joey Rickard singled and then, with two outs, Caleb Joseph walked. Mancini hit the first pitch from Wade LeBlanc out to left for his second homer in...
