Called on in first inning, Gabriel Ynoa pitches O's to 4-2 win

Orioles
Called on in first inning, Gabriel Ynoa pitches O's to 4-2 win
Given an unexpectedly big opportunity tonight by the Orioles, 23-year-old right-hander Gabriel Ynoa took it and ran with it. Called on to pitch with just two outs in the top of the first, Ynoa got out of a two-on jam and then pitched scoreless ball into the seventh against the Chicago White Sox as the Orioles won 4-2 to start a five-game homestand. The Orioles are 18-10 for the season, 9-3 at home and remain half-game behind the Yankees for first in the American League East. Acquired for cash...

Struck by two line drives, Miley exits in first inning (O's up 2-0)

Orioles
Struck by two line drives, Miley exits in first inning (O's up 2-0)
Two nights after the Orioles lost a starting pitcher who was ejected after recording just three outs, they lost their starter tonight after just two outs. Left-hander Wade Miley was hit twice by line drives in a three-pitch span in the top of the first tonight against the Chicago White Sox. It was just Wednesday night in Boston when Kevin Gausman was ejected pitching to the first batter he faced in the second inning. This time, Miley was knocked out after being drilled by back-to-back...

Orioles
O's game blog: O's face former teammate Miguel González in series opener
The Orioles have finally moved into a stretch of the season where they will face some non-American League East opponents. But that doesn't necessarily mean their schedule gets easier. After playing 24 of the first 27 within the division (and going 15-9), their next seven games are against the Chicago White Sox and Washington Nationals. Both teams currently reside in first place in their respective divisions. The Orioles host the White Sox for three games this weekend at Camden Yards. Chicago...

Joey Rickard and Buck Showalter on Rickard's defensive gem in Boston

Orioles
Joey Rickard and Buck Showalter on Rickard's defensive gem in Boston
It was one of those plays that, as manager Buck Showalter said today, can "change the game." With the Orioles leading the Red Sox 8-3 last night, Boston had a rally going with the bases loaded in the last of the seventh. In the top of the seventh, Seth Smith singled to right for a 4-for-4 game. But in the bottom of the inning, Joey Rickard came in for Smith as a defensive replacement in right field. A few moments later, he Rickard made a leaping, sprawling catch of Andrew Benintendi's liner...

After rough spring training outing, Cody Sedlock got off to a good start at Frederick

Orioles
After rough spring training outing, Cody Sedlock got off to a good start at Frederick
For young right-hander Cody Sedlock, the Orioles' top draft pick last June, it was memorable, very exciting and it seemed to happen real, real fast. After the Orioles drafted Sedlock with the 27th pick in the first round out of the University of Illinois, he got his feet wet in pro ball last summer throwing 27 innings and pitching to an ERA of 3.00 at short-season Single-A Aberdeen. Fast forward to 2017 spring training. It was Feb. 28 and the Orioles were playing their fifth exhibition game,...

A rather eventful road trip for the Orioles through New York and Boston comes to an end tonight at Fenway Park. The Orioles went 1-2 at Yankee Stadium and are 1-2 at Boston as the four-game series ends tonight. The trip began with the Orioles leading New York by one game for first place in the American League East. They begin play tonight at 16-10, one game behind New York (17-9). The trip began with the Yankees scoring 26 runs and winning last Friday and Saturday over the Orioles in the Bronx....

Hot starts on the farm: Ring, Mountcastle deliver with bats (plus O's notes)

Orioles
Hot starts on the farm: Ring, Mountcastle deliver with bats (plus O's notes)
One player is a high draft pick and the Orioles were confident he would do well as he moved up a level on the farm this year. He has so far. Another has basically come out of nowhere. But they both have gotten off to very strong starts with the bat. The first player is Single-A Frederick shortstop Ryan Mountcastle. He was taken with the 36th overall pick in the 2015 draft. The other is Single-A Delmarva outfielder Jake Ring. He was taken with the 931st pick (in the 31st round) of the 2016...

Night of frustration: Gausman, Jones ejected and O's lose at Fenway

Orioles
Night of frustration: Gausman, Jones ejected and O's lose at Fenway
At this point, what else could go wrong? Last night, Boston pitcher Chris Sale threw a 98 mph fastball behind Manny Machado and was not ejected. Tonight, Baltimore's Kevin Gausman threw a 77 mph curveball that hit Xander Bogaerts and he was ejected by a home plate umpire with an itchy trigger finger. There were no outs in the second inning at the time. That put the Orioles in a bind. They went on to a 4-2 loss to Boston. Major League Baseball officials told the management of the Orioles and...

O's game blog: Gausman faces Boston; today's minor league results
The Orioles send struggling right-hander Kevin Gausman (1-2, 7.50 ERA) to the mound tonight at Fenway Park. The Orioles and Boston have exchanged 5-2 wins the past two nights. Gausman will be making his seventh start. As play begins tonight the Orioles (16-9) and New York Yankees are tied for the American League East lead. Both are 2 1/2 games ahead of Boston, 3 1/2 up on Tampa Bay and eight games ahead of Toronto. Comparing Gausman's first three and past three 2017 starts: First three: 3.94...

In Machado-Boston feud, a former Red Sox player sides with Machado

Orioles
In Machado-Boston feud, a former Red Sox player sides with Machado
So it's pretty clear that when Boston lefty Chris Sale's 98 mph fastball went buzzing behind Manny Machado's legs in the first inning last night, the Orioles third baseman had about reached his breaking point. During his postgame interview, he went past that point as the emotions boiled over and came out during an expletive-laced response to the latest pitch thrown in his direction by a Boston pitcher. "Coward stuff," Machado said. "I mean, that's stuff that you don't (expletive) do,...

Orioles
O's game blog: O's battle Chris Sale (Sale and Sox win 5-2)
Is the reverse lock in effect tonight? Little-known right-hander Alec Asher (1-0, 2.16 ERA) makes the second start of his Orioles career against left-hander Chris Sale (1-2, 1.19 ERA), a five-time All-Star who currently ranks first in the American League in strikeouts and second in ERA and WHIP. Let's just the say the Orioles are the underdog. The Orioles acquired Asher near the end of spring training in a March 28 trade with Philadelphia for a player to be named or cash considerations. He...

A look at reasons for Dylan Bundy's great year

Orioles
A look at reasons for Dylan Bundy's great year
They lacked a three-run homer, but the Orioles sure had some pitching and defense in last night's 5-2 win over Boston. Earl Weaver would have approved of that victory. He would loved to have seen right-hander Dylan Bundy use a combination of talent, smarts, work ethic and a great mix of pitches to get off to such a strong start. How about a 4-1 record and an ERA of 1.82? The Orioles are 5-1 in his six outings and he's produced six of six quality starts. Six times this year, an O's starter...

The Orioles begin a four-game series tonight at Boston's Fenway Park. The Orioles won all three series there last season, going 6-3. They went 1-1 this year in a two-game series on April 11-12, losing the series opener 8-1 and then winning the next night 12-5. Since the 2012 season, the Orioles are 57-42 (.576) against the Red Sox. Since that season in Boston, the Orioles have a record of 30-19 (.612). After splitting that series in Boston and taking two of three from the Red Sox earlier at...

Orioles
Thoughts on Wade Miley, the AL East and O's-Boston series
The Orioles played just two extra-inning contests among their first 19 games this year. Now they have gone extras in three of the past four games, winning two of the three. Last year, Zach Britton went 47-for-47 in save chances. But over the weekend, with Britton pitching on a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie, the Orioles blew two ninth-inning leads. At least the one yesterday was only a blown save and not also a blown game. The Orioles beat the Yankees 7-4 in 11 innings to tie New York...

Orioles
A look at the Orioles' crazy, improbable and dramatic win in the Bronx
The Orioles escaped Yankee Stadium with a win today. They avoided getting swept in the three-game series. They did it the hard way. The real, real, real hard way. Once a team with a closer than almost never blew a ninth-inning lead, today the O's blew a lead in the ninth for the second time in this series. But right-hander Logan Verrett escaped a major jam in the 10th and the Orioles scored three in the 11th to beat the Yankees 7-4. The teams are once again tied atop the American League East...

O's game blog: Orioles look to salvage series finale
After losing 14-11 in 10 innings on Friday and 12-4 on Saturday afternoon to the New York Yankees, the Orioles have lost their first series of the season. They need a win today to avoid being swept three in a row. The Yankees' last three-game sweep of the Birds in New York was from July 21-23, 2015. The teams entered the second game of this series tied for first in the American League East. Now New York (15-7) leads the Orioles (14-8) by a game atop the division. The Orioles are 12-7 (.632) in...

Ubaldo Jiménez struggles again; Yankees on verge of sweep
So for the Orioles, the process of regrouping after Friday's blown eight-run lead is going to take a little while. At least longer than a day after they were crushed 12-4 by the Yankees on Saturday afternoon. The O's pitchers entered the weekend with the third-best team ERA in the American League at 3.41 and now it is 4.24. The rotation ERA has gone up the last two days from 3.77 to 4.28. In 17 1/3 innings in the series, the O's staff has allowed 24 hits and 26 runs on nine homers. New York...

O's game blog: Orioles try to even series (O's trounced, 12-4)
The Orioles have been either tied for or alone in first place every day of the 2017 season. But a loss today at Yankee Stadium would end that streak. The Orioles and Yankees begin today tied atop the American League East at 14-7, both 2 ½ games ahead of the Red Sox and 3 1/2 up on the Rays. We'll soon find out if the Orioles bounce back from blowing a 9-1 lead and losing last night. It was the first time the Orioles had ever blown an eight-run lead in a loss to the Yankees. According to...

Orioles don't have long to regroup after brutal loss in the Bronx
As far as painful losses go, that one ranks right up there. The Orioles blew a 9-1 lead. They blew a three-run lead in the ninth. They lost to a bitter rival. They lost at Yankee Stadium. They are no longer alone in first place atop the American League East. We could discuss how it unraveled, who is to blame and what it all means, but the Orioles have another game to play this afternoon. A loss today will just make Friday's defeat even worse, while a win could begin the regrouping process. No...

Since the Orioles took two of three from the Yankees April 7-9 in Baltimore, New York has been doing a lot of winning. The Yankees began the year 1-4, but they are 12-3 since then and just took a two-game series from Boston with 3-1 and 3-0 wins. This is the Yankees' best 15-game stretch since July 9-July 28, 2015. New York is 8-1 at home and 3-0 in home series. Tonight these clubs begin a three-game series in the Bronx with the first-place Orioles (14-6) leading the second-place Yankees...
