An immediate take from yesterday’s 7-6, 10-inning loss to the Blue Jays is how reliever Jeff Hoffman should remember that the Orioles make another trip to Toronto and his team makes another trip to Baltimore. Be careful with that pucker or risk getting punched in the mouth. But there’s more. Manager Brandon Hyde downplayed the latest short outing f

Bench coach Robinson Chirinos made his managerial debut this afternoon after Brandon Hyde was ejected. Ryan Mountcastle lined a ball over the left field wall that used to torment him. Tyler O’Neill almost nailed Mr. Splash with his home run into the Bird Bath section. Gunnar Henderson showed signs of busting out of his slump with three hits in the

MIAMI – On Opening Day, MacKenzie Gore flashed the electric stuff that could make him one of the elite starting pitchers in baseball. Against a tough Phillies lineup, he struck out a career-high and Opening Day club-record 13 batters over six shutout innings. Outings like that are the ceiling for the 26-year-old left-hander. The plan for him this s

MIAMI – The Nationals made another roster move ahead of Sunday’s finale against the Marlins, placing right-hander Orlando Ribalta on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to April 10) with a right biceps strain and recalling right-hander Cole Henry from Triple-A Rochester. "It'll be his first time in the major leagues, we're excited about that," man

The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Cole Henry from Triple-A Rochester and placed right-handed pitcher Orlando Ribalta on the 15-day Injured List (retroactive to April 10) with a right biceps strain on Sunday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Henry, 25, was selected

The Orioles have posted the same lineup in back-to-back days for the first time this season. Heston Kjerstad gets another start in left field after hitting his first home run yesterday. Ryan O'Hearn is the designated hitter. Ryan Mountcastle is batting eighth again, followed by Jackson Holliday. The rainout pushed back Cade Povich’s start to today.

MIAMI – The Nationals can still leave South Beach with a series win over the Marlins. Hopefully, they’ll get a complete team effort today to close it out. MacKenzie Gore will lead the charge on the mound. The left-hander is 1-1 with a 2.65 ERA, 1.059 WHIP and a league-leading 13.4 strikeouts per nine innings. Gore held a tough Dodgers lineup to jus

You could pinpoint it. An Orioles crowd donning orange had waited all day for the feeling to return: The feeling of the 2023 ballclub. The feeling that no lead was insurmountable, no deficit was too great. The energy and excitement of one of the best, young teams in baseball.  Heston Kjerstad’s two-run home run to cut Toronto’s lead to one brought

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde remained confident that the offense was going to erupt. The power would return and the runs would come in bunches. He just couldn’t predict when it would happen. He needed it fast. Thirteen Orioles came to the plate yesterday against Toronto starter Bowden Francis and 13 were retired. The scoreless streak had reached 15

MIAMI – Even though Trevor Williams only made 13 starts last year due to a right flexor muscle strain, he pitched well enough to earn a new two-year, $14 million contract from the Nationals over the offseason. When he was on the mound in 2024, the right-hander was effective, going 6-1 with a 2.03 ERA. The key was simple: Induce weak contact, limit
