The reception for DJ Stewart tonight in his first at-bat of the season didn't force the young outfielder to choke back tears. Polite applause accompanied him to the plate. Nothing that would cause a player to step out of the box and gather himself.
Stewart was recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Norfolk, a popular move judging by the reaction on social media, if not in the stands. But the cheering increased in volume as he grounded a single into right field in the second inning and again...
There is a silent loneliness about the history of Ireland. All the pubs and all the music and all the poems cannot remove this reality. Neither does "The Story of Lucy Gault."
William Trevor is an extraordinary writer of the Irish soul. He hits the mark here.
The endless battles among religions and the British is the undertone of this novel, but the story set in the 1920s and for decades thereafter is the story of a girl turned woman whose life is lost in the endless conflict.
An 8-year-old,...
The Orioles last had a two-game winning streak on May 6 when they wrapped up wins versus Tampa Bay and Boston around a rainout. They'll try for two in a row tonight when they host Detroit at Camden Yards.
Renato Núñez hit a two-run homer, his 13th, and Jonathan Villar's 456-foot solo shot was No. 7 in Monday's 5-3 win over the Tigers at Oriole Park. Núñez has hit five homers his last six games and six in his last eight. Nunez has recorded an RBI in a career-high six straight...
ATLANTA - They waited to make a final decision until after tonight's game, but the Nationals did decide to start AnÃbal Sánchez in Wednesday night's series finale against the Braves, believing the right-hander's hamstring is fully healed even if he hasn't built his arm all the way back up to a full workload yet.
Sánchez, who strained his left hamstring May 16 against the Mets, was slated to go through a pregame workout this evening at SunTrust Park. If he got through this workout...
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde intends to give DJ Stewart an extended look after the Orioles called up the outfielder earlier today from Triple-A Norfolk.
Stewart is starting tonight in right field and also will move over to left, "and we'll see how it goes," Hyde said.
"This is a position player who's going to get a lot of everyday at-bats. I think DJ is a part of the future and I think DJ is somebody who's going to swing the bat well. I just don't want to put too much pressure on him....
DJ Stewart got into 17 games in the major leagues last September, batting .250 (10-for-40) with three doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs after joining the Orioles' expanded roster and making his major league debut on Sept. 12.
It was exciting to be called to the majors. But when Stewart found out he was coming to join the Orioles today from Triple-A Norfolk, it was a different feeling - and, he said, an even better excitement level for him. And he's starting tonight in right field, batting...
ATLANTA - The Nationals have already faced the Mets 13 times this season. They've faced the Phillies eight times. They've faced the Marlins seven times. Tonight, they finally face the Braves for the first of 19 head-to-head matchups this season. And it's only a two-game series before they pack up and leave for Cincinnati. Weird schedule, to say the least.
The Braves, seeking back-to-back division titles, got off to a ragged start themselves. And they've had their share of bullpen woes. But...
DJ Stewart is playing right field and batting sixth against Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd on the day that the Orioles recalled him from Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles have found a spot for outfielder DJ Stewart, rewarding him for an extended hot stretch at the plate by recalling him today from Triple-A Norfolk.
