Orioles
Vance Worley on rehab outing in Bowie and returning to the Orioles
Right-handed reliever Vance Worley could soon be returning to the Orioles. He has been on the 15-day disabled list since June 14, retroactive to the previous day, with a right groin strain. The injury happened during his outing June 12 in Toronto. Worley is eligible to come off the DL on Tuesday when the O's start a west coast trip in San Diego.

The Orioles lead the majors in runs scored in June (plus other notes)
Kevin Gausman pitched well and Chris Tillman did not. It didn't matter for the end result. The Orioles won both games of Saturday's split doubleheader against Tampa Bay at Camden Yards The Orioles have won four in a row and are now a season-high 14 games over .500 at 44-30 and Tampa Bay is spiraling downward with a 10-game losing streak.

On a night of big offense, a defensive play may have saved the game

Orioles
On a night of big offense, a defensive play may have saved the game
On a night in which the Orioles hit four homers, scored eight runs and had 14 hits, a defensive play early in the game should not be overlooked. Chris Tillman and the Orioles were trailing 4-0 in the third inning and Tampa Bay had the bases loaded with two outs. Jaff Decker lined a shot to right-center. Center fielder Adam Jones laid out for the diving catch. It probably saved three runs and a 7-0 deficit. Was it a coincidence that the Orioles would then score in their next six at-bats and...

Orioles
Down four runs early, O's rally to win and sweep doubleheader
Chris Tillman had an off night. But the Orioles' offense just kept on coming. They got back in the game by bashing homers, but then used a few humdrum singles to go-ahead. Down 6-5 to the last of the seventh, the Orioles scored twice to go ahead and went on to beat Tampa Bay 8-6 tonight. They sweep a day-night doubleheader at Camden Yards. Joey Rickard doubled off Erasmo Ramirez to start the seventh. Adam Jones' single to right scored him for the 6-6 tie. Later in the inning, a Chris Davis...

Kevin Gausman on getting his first win (plus other clubhouse quotes)
As the Orioles blanked Tampa Bay this afternoon 5-0, Kevin Gausman made his 13th start and finally got his first win. Was he starting to wonder when that elusive first victory would come? "Every time you take the mound, you expect to win," Gausman said. "So, that is what I've done 13 times now. I've expected to win 13 times. There were some games that got away from me and I hoped the team would pick me up and they have before. You just try to be that guy every fifth day. As much as we can...

Kevin Gausman pitches 7 2/3 scoreless as O's blank Rays in Game 1
He got a few swings and misses early in his outing. He pitched to contact later and the Orioles' infield defense was up for that.

O's game blog: McFarland is 26th man and a look at Game 1 pitchers
Orioles left-hander T. J. McFarland is quite familiar with the Norfolk-Baltimore shuttle. He took a ride heading north again yesterday, arriving Friday in the O's clubhouse and being activated today. With a day-night split doubleheader here today, the Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays can add a 26th man for both games. It has to be the same player for both games and McFarland is the O's 26th player today. "We got two games, so I'm probably going to get some innings," McFarland said this morning...

After surgery and rehab, Caleb Joseph is close to rejoining the Orioles
Catcher Caleb Joseph's return to the Orioles is now likely just days away. Joseph will catch for the first time since his injury on Monday night for Single-A Frederick. If that goes well, he could return to the Orioles as soon as next Wednesday in San Diego. Joseph took a foul ball to the groin area on May 30, sustaining a testicular injury. He underwent a surgical procedure at the University of Maryland Medical Center that left him in extreme discomfort initially. But now, nearly four weeks...

Tolliver on his first win, Machado on his return, Gallardo on his outing
The Orioles' four-run rally tonight in the sixth inning not only gave the team the lead but led to another special moment for lefty reliever Ashur Tolliver. A pitcher that finally got to the majors this year after being drafted in 2009, Tolliver got his first major league win in his fifth big league appearance. In the postgame clubhouse, he was asked if the game ball will find its way to a special place. It will indeed. "You know what? I have a son on the way coming in the next two weeks,"...

Rally time: O's come from three runs down to best Rays 6-3

Orioles
Rally time: O's come from three runs down to best Rays 6-3
The Tampa Bay Rays didn't look like a last-place team when they took an early 3-0 lead tonight. The Orioles did look like a first-place team as they later rallied to win. For the Orioles tonight, they were no-hit early but that was no problem later. Tampa Bay lefty Matt Moore retired the first 13 batters he faced before the Orioles got to him to rally for a 6-3 win in the opener of a four-game series in front of 44,956 at Camden Yards. That is the second sellout of the year. O's reliever...

O's game blog: Adam Jones on Rays struggles and draft pick math
The Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays begin a four-game, three-day series at Camden Yards tonight. The Orioles start the night in first place in the American League East at 41-30, leading Boston by 1 1/2 games. Tampa Bay - a playoff team in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013 - finds itself in last place right now. The Rays are 31-39 and have lost seven in a row. Right before this losing streak, they had won nine of 11 games. But they are currently struggling, having scored just 15 runs during the seven...

Machado: "My mindset is to take this team somewhere we've never been in a long time"
Manny Machado's suspension is over. He returns to the Orioles lineup tonight, batting third and playing third base. After missing the last four games, he says he feels refreshed and ready to help his team win. "Yeah, I feel real good," Machado said this afternoon in the Orioles clubhouse. "Obviously the days off really helped, not going to lie. You take a pounding on your body and I haven't had some days off since the offseason. It was pretty good to stay off my legs a bit.

Australian lefty Alexander Wells is off to good start with Aberdeen

Orioles
Australian lefty Alexander Wells is off to good start with Aberdeen
He has come a long way to pursue his major league dream. And so far it is going quite well for 19-year-old left-handed pitcher Alexander Wells from Newcastle, Australia. Signed by the Orioles last Aug. 29 for $300,000, Wells was the opening night starter for short season Single-A Aberdeen. So far he has pitched to an ERA of 1.64 over his first two professional starts. Wells' twin brother Lachlan Wells is also in pro ball and was the first of the duo to sign a pro contract. The Minnesota Twins...

O's third-round pick has strong debut, plus other notes (plus roster moves)
As far as a pro debut goes, it was a pretty solid one. The Orioles' third-round draft pick, Jacksonville University outfielder Austin Hays, had three hits last night for short season Single-A Aberdeen. Hays showed some speed on his first pro hit, a gap shot to left-center field in the third inning that went for an RBI triple. He had a 3-for-4 night with a run, stolen base, an RBI and a couple of nice defensive plays. It was his first game, but not his first day with Aberdeen, and already...

Orioles
O's notes on the offense, Oliver Drake and the minors
It was a much-needed win and a much-needed solid outing by Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez. He gave up two runs over six innings last night as the Orioles beat the Padres 7-2 to split a two-game series. The win improved the Birds to 41-30 and, with Boston's loss to the White Sox, the Orioles opened a two-game lead atop the American League East over Boston. For the first time since June 5-6, O's starting pitchers have recorded back-to-back quality starts. Tyler Wilson and Jimenez allowed...

Ubaldo Jimenez on his outing tonight, plus other clubhouse quotes
After all his recent struggles - struggles that sent him to the Orioles bullpen for an outing - right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez badly needed to pitch well tonight. He did, allowing two runs in six innings in the Orioles' 7-2 win over San Diego. Did he feel pressure to pitch well tonight? "I just wanted to get the job done for sure," Jimenez said. "There is no more pressure than that. As a pitcher, I know I have been struggling before I got sent down to the bullpen. But I always try to find a...

Ubaldo Jimenez records first quality start since May 7, O's top Padres
When he gave up two singles and a run to the first three batters in the first inning, it looked as it Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez might be on his way to yet another poor outing. But tonight he wrote a different script. Jimenez allowed just two runs and four hits over six innings as the Orioles beat San Diego 7-2 at Camden Yards to split a two-game series. The victory was the Orioles' 1,000th in Camden Yards history, counting the postseason. They are now 1,000-959 at Oriole Park since...

Can a struggling pitcher turn it around and pitch the Orioles to a win tonight? Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez (3-7, 7.34 ERA) makes his 14th start and tries to pitch the Orioles past San Diego to gain a split of this two-game series. Jimenez's last two appearances came against Toronto - one as a starter and one out of the bullpen. He gave up 10 runs over 2 2/3 innings in those games. Over his past seven games, he is 1-4 with an ERA of 11.47. He has allowed five or more runs in five if his past...
