Caleb Joseph on Jayson Aquino, plus impressive pitching stats
The Orioles still are not scoring many runs, but they continue to get outstanding starting pitching and they continue to win. Last night's 4-2 victory over Boston gives them a major league best 12-4 record. They have won four games in a row by a combined 10-3 score. They are 5-0-1 in series for the season. They are 6-1 at home. They are 10-3 versus American League East teams. The Orioles went 2-8 in 2016 against Boston in Oriole Park at Camden Yards. They have matched that win total, starting...

Jayson Aquino gets first major league win as O's top Boston (quotes added)

Orioles
Jayson Aquino gets first major league win as O's top Boston (quotes added)
The latest Orioles starting pitcher to shine was a 24-year-old left-hander from the Dominican Republic that was acquired from St. Louis last April for cash considerations. And left-hander Jayson Aquino was making just his fourth major league appearance and first as a starter. But save for allowing a two-run homer, he was strong tonight as the Orioles beat Boston 4-2 in front of 35,457 at Camden Yards. The first-place Orioles improved to 12-4, have won four in a row and win this series by taking...

Orioles
O's game blog: Jayson Aquino makes first major league start
Proving that baseball can be hard - or even nearly impossible to predict - we can go back to the third inning Tuesday night when the Cincinnati Reds led the Orioles 9-3. Since that inning, O's pitchers have allowed one run over 33 innings. They blanked the Reds over the last five innings of Tuesday's game and pitched a shutout the next night. Then they won in 10 innings Thursday. allowing one run. to end the road trip and followed that up with another shutout last night at home versus...

Britton on Brach: "He's been doing that for a while now"

Orioles
Britton on Brach: "He's been doing that for a while now"
Orioles right-hander Brad Brach has basically pitched a one-hitter this season. After recording three saves on a total of 33 pitches over the last three games, he has now pitched nine innings for the season. He has not allowed a run and given up one hit with three walks and 12 strikeouts. American League hitters are batting .037 (1-for-27) versus Brach. You don't have to be a player, manager, reporter or scout to know that is pretty good. Lefty batters are 1-for-10 against him and right-handed...

Givens on winning his duel with Betts (plus other notes)

Orioles
Givens on winning his duel with Betts (plus other notes)
There has likely never been a visiting hitter to produce such prolific stats at Oriole Park through the years as much as Boston's Mookie Betts last year. In back-to-back games at Camden Yards last May 31 and June 1, Betts went 5-for-8 with five home runs and seven RBIs. Coming into last night's game, he had an 11-game hitting streak at the ballpark, batting .488 (21-for-43) with eight homers and an OPS of 1.623. Betts' eight homers (in 10 games) at Camden Yards in 2016 tied for the most-ever...

Orioles
Manny Machado on the slide, Dylan Bundy on his outing
It was another game that featured some excellent Orioles pitching. But in the home clubhouse, that took a bit of a back seat to a controversial slide that injured Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia late in the game. But before the postgame interviews, the Orioles posted another win, 2-0 over Boston at Camden Yards, to improve to 11-4. Their pitchers have allowed just one run over the last 33 innings and have thrown two shutouts in the past three games. Right-hander Dylan Bundy improved to 3-1...

Orioles
Dylan Bundy and three relievers blank Red Sox 2-0
The Orioles went from road to home, from playing a National League team to taking on an American League East rival. But their recent run of outstanding pitching followed the club to Camden Yards tonight. And Dylan Bundy's very impressive season continued, as he faced the defending division champion Boston Red Sox. Bundy pitched seven-plus scoreless tonight as the Orioles blanked Boston 2-0 in front of 34,442 at Camden Yards. The Orioles are 11-4 and end a six-game home losing streak versus...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy gets start in Boston series opener
The Orioles had a winning home record last year versus every American League East team - except the Boston Red Sox. They went 6-3 at home against New York, 8-2 versus Tampa Bay and 5-4 against Toronto. But the Orioles went just 2-8 at Camden Yards against the 2016 AL East champion Red Sox. As the clubs open a three-game series here tonight, the Orioles are out to break a six-game home losing streak against Boston. They've been outscored 33-12 in those games. Since the 2014 season, the Orioles...

Orioles
Brad Brach on his first two successful save chances
The Orioles' first two save opportunities without All-Star closer Zach Britton could not have gone much better. Two clean saves, with Brad Brach recording six outs over the last two nights on 19 total pitches. Called on to protect a 2-0 lead Wednesday night at Cincinnati, Brach retired the side on nine pitches. He entered in the last of the 10th with a 2-1 lead last night and got a groundout, strikeout and lineout to center on just 10 pitches to conclude the win over the Reds. Brach is trying...

A look at the stunning pitching run at the end of the Cincy series
So the Orioles' series in Cincinnati did not start well. They trailed the Reds 9-1 at the end of the third inning on Tuesday night. We didn't know then what would happen next. The Reds would score just one run in the last 24 innings of the series. Yep, Orioles pitchers did some stunning work. The Reds scored no more runs in their last five at-bats Tuesday, got shutout Wednesday and scored one run in 10 innings in Thursday's 2-1 loss. The Orioles scored two runs Wedensday and two more...

After going 1-1 in a two-game series at Boston and 3-1 at Toronto, the Orioles conclude their nine-game road trip tonight at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park. They are 1-1 in this series and 5-3 on the trip. Kevin Gausman allowed eight runs over 2 2/3 innings Tuesday night as the Reds won 9-3. Ubaldo Jiménez threw 7 2/3 innings of two-hit ball Wednesday night as the Orioles won 2-0. In a close game last night, the Orioles got a clutch RBI single from Jonathan Schoop in the third...

After strong finish, Drew Dosch gets off to fast start (plus O's notes)

Orioles
After strong finish, Drew Dosch gets off to fast start (plus O's notes)
Since opening day, Triple-A Norfolk has placed two third basemen on the disabled list. First, Chris Johnson suffered a right forearm injury and then Alex Castellanos went on the disabled list yesterday with a left hamstring injury. This all opened the door for third sacker Drew Dosch to get promoted to Triple-A for the first time yesterday. After a strong second half at Double-A Bowie last season, followed by a good start to this year, Dosch may prove to be ready for this chance. Last season at...

He has pitched just 4 1/3 innings in each of his two starts this season. But after right-hander Kevin Gausman went just 2 2/3 innings last night, the Orioles (8-4) could use a solid outing tonight from right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez (0-0, 10.38 ERA). Jiménez has given up five runs against both the Yankees and Red Sox to begin the season. Over 8 2/3 innings, he has allowed 15 hits, including three homers, with three walks, six strikeouts and a .385 batting average against. In those two...

Gausman struggles big in series opener (plus minor league results)
Coming off a start at Toronto where he allowed just one run over six innings, the Orioles felt right-hander Kevin Gausman could get their series in Cincinnati off to a good pitching start. No one figured he'd give up more runs in 2 2/3 innings last night than he had allowed in his first three starts combined. But he did. Gausman tied his career-worst night, allowing eight runs while getting just eight outs in a 9-3 loss to the Reds. In his first three starts, he had given up seven runs over 16...

After splitting two games in Boston and winning three of four in Toronto, the Orioles start the last series of this road trip tonight in Cincinnati. They begin the night at 8-3 overall and 4-2 on this nine-game trip. The Reds are 8-5 and in first place in the National League Central.

Orioles
Has Wade Miley turned a corner for the Orioles?
Perhaps somewhat lost amid Trey Mancini bashing homers, J.J. Hardy and Jonathan Schoop having big series in Toronto, injuries to Chris Tillman and Zach Britton, and the Orioles being in first place, there is this: Left-hander Wade Miley ended last year pitching well and has begun 2017 the same way. Miley's first eight O's starts: 8.41 ERA, .351 average against. Miley's last five O's starts: 2.12 ERA, .211 average against. Miley got off to such a poor start after the Orioles traded for him...

Cedric Mullins is Eastern League Player of Week (plus other notes)
He's off to a great start on the O's farm and today Bowie Baysox outfielder Cedric Mullins was named the Player of the Week in the Double-A Eastern League. Mullins has hit safely in all 10 games to start the season, batting .455/.489/.818 with five doubles, a triple, three homers and eight RBIs. His sizzling hot bat was going to eventually slow a bit and it did earlier last week. But even then he had one hit in each of three straight games. Mullins ranks first in the Eastern League in hits...

More on Mancini and Bundy has another strong outing
With four home runs in seven games this year and three in five games last year, Orioles rookie Trey Mancini has put himself in pretty select company. This is courtesy of STATS, LLC and 1913 is as far back as they were able to go on this note which was also discovered Sunday through research on the baseball-reference.com website. Most Home Runs in first 12 games of MLB career - since 1913:* Trey Mancini - 7 (09/20/2016 - 04/16/2017)* Trevor Story - 7 (04/04/2016 - 04/17/2016)* Dino Restelli - 7...

Mancini has two-homer day, Britton talks about his injury
TORONTO - A day that started with concern for the Orioles over closer Zach Britton ended with that concern eased a bit. A barrage of home runs and taking three of four from the Blue Jays didn't hurt. Trey Mancini produced his second two-homer game over his last three games as the Orioles pounded the Blue Jays 11-4 in front of 38,188 at Rogers Centre. The Orioles are 4-2 on this road trip, 5-1 on the season against Toronto, and improved their American League East-leading record to 8-3. Mancini...

Trey Mancini has second two-homer game, O's crush Jays 11-4
TORONTO - Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini did more damage to a baseball today. Once again it didn't take long for it to leave a ballpark once he put a good swing on it. Then he did it a second time. Then his teammates joined in. It was a bash-fest at Rogers Centre. Mancini hit two home runs in a game for the second time in his last three games, and the O's hit four in the game to crush Toronto 11-4. According to baseball-reference.com, Mancini is the third player in big league history to...
