When he faced the Boston Red Sox July 21 in Baltimore, O's right-hander Asher Wojciechowski (2-5, 4.84 ERA) threw a gem as the Orioles won 5-0. It was a combined one-hitter by Wojciechowski, Paul Fry and Michael Givens. Wojciechowski had a no-hitter through six innings. Through four innings he fanned nine and got swings and misses on 18 of his 58 pitches. He finished having allowed one hit with two walks and 10 strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings. He and his mound mates ended Boston's run of 81...

BOSTON - Left-hander Ty Blach is starting Sunday at Fenway Park, his second opportunity with the Orioles. The rotation is set now with John Means, Dylan Bundy and Aaron Brooks handling the next three games against the Royals at Camden Yards. Gabriel Ynoa was a candidate for Sunday, but becomes a bullpen option for manager Brandon Hyde. Hyde has a new reliever in his bullpen after the Orioles recalled Hunter Harvey today from Triple-A Norfolk. And it could be an assignment that stretches through...

Max Scherzer built his arm up this afternoon in his second simulated game of the week, throwing 64 pitches over four innings. And as long as he recovers well from this latest throwing session, the Nationals ace will be lined up to return to the rotation next week in Pittsburgh. Scherzer looked strong and felt strong during today's four-inning simulated game against teammates, according to manager Davey Martinez. Facing Gerardo Parra and Yan Gomes, he threw an average of 16 pitches per inning,...

BOSTON - Hunter Harvey found out around 10:30 p.m. last night that the Orioles wanted him in Boston. He made it after a 3:30 a.m. wakeup call for a flight out of Syracuse 90 minutes later, good sleep put on hold with no regrets. "I don't think it's really sunk in yet that you're in the big leagues," Harvey said this afternoon while standing outside the clubhouse at Fenway Park. "It's just been a long path and just trying to beat all these injuries and get ahead of them. And it's an...

BOSTON - Trey Mancini is playing first base tonight as the Orioles try to win for only the second time in their last 12 games. According to STATS, Mancini's streak of seven straight games with an extra-base hit at Fenway Park is the most by an Orioles player in club history and tied for fifth-longest by a visiting player. The Twins' Harmon Killebrew (May 24, 1962-May 20, 1963) and the Yankees' Carlos Beltrán (April 22, 2014-Aug. 31, 2015) share the record with nine. The Orioles' record...

It's Season Plan Holder Appreciation Day here at Nationals Park. It's also Max Scherzer Simulated Game No. 2 Day. These two events are going on simultaneously, which is both cool (the fans are able to watch this) and awkward (Dan Kolko, Bo Porter and Alex Chappell are holding a Q&A as Scherzer pitches directly behind them). Anyways, tonight's game ... the Nationals are riding a five-game winning streak into this evening's contest. They'll look to improve to a season-best 12 games over...

The Nationals close out a weekend series with the Brewers this afternoon, hoping resurgent right-hander Erick Fedde can deliver another strong outing and a series victory over the Brewers. Fedde's start - and his ability to give the Nats some length - takes on additional importance after Saturday night's 15-14 loss to the Brewers in 14 innings. The bullpen had to cover 10 innings after righty Aníbal Sánchez went only four frames, and it's possible the Nationals will make a move before...

BOSTON - The latest roster move for the Orioles brings pitcher Hunter Harvey to the majors for the first time since 2018 and sets him up to make his long-awaited debut. The Orioles recalled Harvey this morning from Triple-A Norfolk. He fills the roster spot that opened after pitcher Tom Eshelman was optioned following last night's 9-1 loss to the Red Sox. Harvey can become the 54th player used by the Orioles this season, two short of the club record set last year. He'd be the 37th...

The Nationals and Braves both attempted to improve their bullpens at the July 31 trade deadline. So far, the Nats have gotten the better end of the deals. Even without Roenis Elías for most of the last three weeks due to injury, the additions of Hunter Strickland and Daniel Hudson have outshone the Braves acquisitions of Chris Martin, Mark Melancon and Shane Greene. In Friday night's nail-biting 2-1 Nationals win over the Brewers, Hudson and Strickland bridged shutout seventh and eighth...

It was not a pitch-efficient type game for Patrick Corbin Friday night against Milwaukee, but that did not seem to bother him one bit. Neither did getting behind in counts or watching Brewers hitters take so many pitches. In the end, the Nationals southpaw went to his best pitch to get him out of jams again and again. The slider is his signature pitch, and it helped Corbin rack up four inning-ending strikeouts when he needed them most. With Corbin and the bullpen on point and Anthony Rendon...
