DETROIT - The Orioles are adding Heston Kjerstad to their roster for today’s series finale with the Detroit Tigers. The O's announced that move and series of others this morning. In addition they have reinstated righty reliever Jacob Webb from the injured list where he was out due to right elbow inflammation. Webb has pitched to a 3.08 ERA wit

DETROIT – The pressure was most definitely on the Orioles Saturday night at Comerica Park. On this night, they stood up to it with an important and impressive 4-2 win over a hot Detroit Tigers team that had won 21 of 30 coming into play. The O’s were three games back of the Yankees for the division lead and Kansas City had pulled within two games f

The penultimate road trip of the season concludes later today in Detroit, which limits my usage of the word "penultimate." At least until the next-to-last regular season game. The Orioles are off Monday and host the Giants and Tigers before wrapping up the regular season in the Bronx and Minnesota. Those last six games could be meaningful. Don’t yo

DETROIT – An Orioles starting rotation that had been pitching well recently kept it going tonight behind their ace. With the team losing and not scoring many runs in dropping six of eight games, it was harder to notice the solid rotation outings. But in the last three games, O’s starters had an ERA of 1.37. Over their past seven games their ERA was

Maybe it was appropriate today’s game featured a centennial celebration of Washington’s 1924 champions, a club that won the city’s first World Series despite ranking last in the American League with a grand total of 22 home runs that season. No team in the National League this year has hit fewer home runs than the Nationals, who entered this contes

DETROIT - The Orioles are just 1-3 on their two-city road trip and have scored 11 runs in four games against Boston and Detroit. Baltimore (83-65) has lost five of six and six of eight and is 9-12 the last 21 games. The O's are 25-27 since the All-Star break and 30-34 since July 1. Detroit came up one out short of the 10th no-hitter in Tigers histo

Luis García Jr. has made strides in just about every aspect of his game during his breakthrough season. The Nationals second baseman has established career highs in batting average (.282), on-base percentage (.320) and slugging percentage (.445), is 21-for-25 in stolen base attempts and has turned himself into a better defensive player as well. The

DETROIT - Having lost five of six and six of their past eight games and facing the team with the best record in baseball since Aug. 11, the Orioles will try to find a way tonight. Find a way to get some offense and start winning again.  The O's are now 83-65 overall and ended Friday night three games back of the Yankees, who are playing this aftern

It’s a spectacular Saturday afternoon in the nation’s capital. Maybe the matchup between the Nationals and Marlins isn’t anything to get excited about, but there are surely worse places to be on such a lovely day than the ballpark, right? The Nats look to make it two in a row (and 10 out of 12) against Miami, and they’ll hope Patrick Corbin does hi

DETROIT – As the losses mount while the runs do not, if feels like the American League East is slipping away from the Orioles. Their 1-0 loss at Detroit - in which they narrowly missed being no-hit - was their fifth in six games and sixth in the last eight. The Orioles are 25-27 since the All-Star break and 30-34 since July 1. They are now three ga
