CLEVELAND - For a good portion of last night's Orioles game here, manager Brandon Hyde saw things to like. His hitters got to Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer and the team built a 5-1 lead. Even after falling behind by 6-5, Stevie Wilkerson's two-run double put them back ahead. It was set up to be a good night for Hyde's rebuilding team.
But it came crashing down amid several late-game mistakes and another shaky night for the bullpen. Cleveland scored five in the last of the seventh,...
CLEVELAND - It has been less than a month since Branden Kline made his major league debut and just over two weeks since his latest call to the majors. But the right-hander from Frederick, Md., is settling in and getting used to life in the majors with the Orioles.
He knows that to stay here, he'll need to pitch well, and he's been doing that lately. He's thrown 3 1/3 scoreless innings in his last two games and is coming off a strong two-inning outing Wednesday. In Game 1 of a doubleheader at...

CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Indians beat the Orioles 14-7 last night at Progressive Field and host the O's tonight in the second game of a four-game series.
The Orioles lost leads of 5-1 and 7-6 Thursday night and Cleveland scored the game's final eight runs. The Indians set season highs in runs and hits (14), plating their most runs since Sept. 28, 2018 at Kansas City. Cleveland has scored 23 runs its last two games, scoring nine or more in back-to-back games for the first time since Aug....
Richie Martin is playing shortstop tonight and Chris Davis is batting cleanup again as the Orioles continue their series in Cleveland.
Austin Wynns is catching right-hander Dylan Bundy.
Indians right-hander Jefry Rodriguez is 1-2 with a 2.92 ERA and 1.176 WHIP in four starts over 24 2/3 innings. He's surrendered only two home runs.
Rodriguez's last three starts have been quality by definition and he came within one-third of an inning in his season debut. His first major league start came...
The Nationals embark on a challenging three-game series tonight at home at they welcome in the first-place Cubs.
Fresh off their first series win since April 18, the Nats face a Cubs squad that has gone 9-1-1 in their last 11 series. Chicago's loss to Cincinnati last night marked its first series loss since April 7 against the Brewers. Since starting the season 2-7, the Cubs have won 23 of 3 games.
Washington would love to have a run even close to that after stumbling out of the gates, just...
Last week outfielder Victor Robles was caught off second base in a game at Los Angeles. After the game, manager Davey Martinez said Robles assumed he could stroll over to third base when Juan Soto drew a walk because he thought there was a runner at first base. There was also some confusion as to whether or not a time out was called on field. Apparently, Robles thought there was, and so assumed he could go and speak to third base coach Bobby Henley.
The Dodgers saw him venture off second base...
CLEVELAND - Before Thursday's game, both Orioles manager Brandon Hyde and one of the team's leaders, Trey Mancini, talked about the appreciation they had for how the Orioles clubhouse is handling mounting losses.
The losses are not unexpected, but they can weigh a team down and hinder youngsters as they try to grow and develop as players. Last night's 14-7 loss in Cleveland featured an awful five-run Cleveland seventh, and the Orioles looked like a last-place team in that inning.
But even in...
CLEVELAND - When Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer retired the Orioles on eight pitches in the first inning tonight it looked like he might have a big game. Bauer began the game ninth in the American League in ERA.
But that early look was very, very deceiving. It was not a good night for several pitchers, Bauer included. And for the Orioles, another close game got away from them in the last of the seventh tonight.
The Orioles saw leads of 5-1 and 7-6 that they did not hold as they fell 14-7 to...
Dylan Bundy was supposed to open the four-game series in Cleveland last night until two days of rain in New York necessitated an adjustment of the Orioles' pitching plans.
Dan Straily took the mound last night after missing the Yankees and allowed four runs and six hits in 3 1/3 innings. Bundy goes tonight, knowing that the radar readings at Progressive Field will garner most of the attention.
Manager Brandon Hyde removed Bundy from his last start after only 80 pitches, the right-hander losing...
