Jace Peterson's strange journey since last season has brought him to Anaheim. The Orioles selected Peterson's contract today from Triple-A Norfolk and he's available for tonight's series opener against the Angels. He's wearing No. 23. He might be surprised to be wearing orange and black again. Peterson, 29, is taking the roster spot vacated by third baseman Rio Ruiz. The Orioles optioned Ruiz following yesterday's 5-2 loss in Arizona. The 40-man roster now holds 39 players with the...

Several roads around Oriole Park at Camden Yards that were previously closed due to an underground water main break in Baltimore City will reopen from noon on Friday until Sunday morning. Traffic is expected to be heavy, and fans are encouraged to allow more time getting to and from Oriole Park for Friday night's Billy Joel concert. Two lanes of Pratt Street between Paca Street and Howard Street will be open, allowing motorists to utilize the full stretch of Pratt Street in the downtown area....

The last time Max Scherzer was on the mound for the Nationals, he was wearing an Expos uniform. And he was on fire. With seven scoreless innings of 11-strikeout ball against the Royals, Scherzer had capped off a brilliant seven-start stretch that included a 7-0 record, 0.87 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 79-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Scherzer, of course, hasn't pitched since then because of a back injury, finally diagnosed as an inflamed bursa sac underneath his right shoulder blade. He's back at last...

Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin provided another sterling example of how good a pitcher he can be Wednesday night, battling Colorado starter Kyle Freeland for six innings and hanging on for a 2-0 win and doubleheader sweep over the Rockies. Despite having to throw 27 pitches in the first inning, Corbin got out of a jam to begin the game. Charlie Blackmon singled to leadoff the game, followed by a Trevor Story walk. But Corbin managed to get Nolan Arenado to ground into a 5-4-3 double play....

ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Orioles lost six of seven out west last month and started this trip out west losing two of three at Arizona. Now it's on to SoCal, where they will face the Los Angeles Angels for four games, starting tonight. The trip wraps up in San Diego on Tuesday. The Orioles (32-69), after Wednesday's 5-2 loss, are 4-3 over their past seven games, 5-7 since the All-Star break and 10-11 over their past 21 games. They are 3-3-1 in the last seven series, winning against the Indians,...

Left-hander Patrick Corbin was wild to begin game two, having to labor to just get out of the first inning. The southpaw allowed a leadoff single to Charlie Blackmon and two walks in the first inning but escaped without allowing a run thanks to a big double play ignited by Anthony Rendon. However, Corbin was taxed for 27 pitches. Then Corbin fired three strikeouts in the second inning. In the third, the Rockies Trevor Story belted a one-out triple. But Corbin managed to wiggle out of trouble...

PHOENIX - Shawn Armstrong's solution began as a lengthy heart-to-heart pitching conversation with teammate Jimmy Yacabonis on the night that the Orioles flew into Arizona. Armstrong didn't have a clean outing in his last six appearances. Didn't feel right for much longer. A "three-to-four week inconsistent patch," as he calls it. "I felt like at times I had the shape to my pitches and kind of revert right back to backup sliders, backup breaking balls and so forth the next outing, and then...

PHOENIX - John Means retired the first five batters today, getting strikeouts with his changeup and curveball. But something wasn't right. He wasn't particularly sharp and the Diamondbacks were chipping away at him. Means came tumbling down in the fourth, turning in his shortest start since his rotation debut back on April 9. Nine batters came to the plate in the inning, Carson Kelly hit a three-run homer and the Orioles lost 5-2 at Chase Field. Gabriel Ynoa stranded two inherited runners,...

When the Nationals hit their low point back on May 24, more than a few publications wrote off their chances of winning in 2019. Why, a certain longtime beat writer declared it would be "nearly impossible to turn the entire season around." Ha ha ha. What a moron. Guess what the Nationals proceeded to do. They turned their entire season around. There's still a long way to go, and they haven't clinched anything yet. But what the Nats have done just to this point to get back into the thick of...

The Orioles today announced that ahead of the first-ever concert at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, featuring Billy Joel on Friday, July 26, the club will host an invitation-only benefit on Thursday, July 25.
