Who would’ve thought three days ago the Nationals would find themselves on a three-game winning streak, against the Diamondbacks and Dodgers no less? And yet here we are, with the team having already clinched at least a .500 homestand against two of the best teams in the league, and now a chance to clinch a winning week with one more victory tonigh

Club to recognize 2131 anniversary with celebration on September 6 he Orioles will celebrate one of the most remarkable feats in professional sports, as the club recognizes the 30th anniversary of National Baseball Hall of Famer CAL RIPKEN, JR. surpassing the said-to-be-unbreakable record for consecutive games played. Ripken solidified himself as b

James Wood hasn’t been a big leaguer long, but he’s been a big leaguer long enough to have some experience with big situations at the plate. And what has the Nationals’ 22-year-old budding star learned from those experiences? “I feel like if I go up there trying to create a big moment, I’ll get myself into trouble,” he said. “I just try and keep th

PHOENIX – Tests are never slammed on your desk at a convenient time. The Orioles offense has been inconsistent and is coming off a one-run, five-hit performance against the Royals. In their win in Kansas City on Saturday, Baltimore put up an eight-spot. In the two losses, however, the Birds combined to plate just three. Things get much warmer in Ar

The Orioles won't have pitcher Albert Suárez for much longer than anticipated. Suárez was moved to the 60-day injured list today with a right subscapularis strain to create room on the 40-man roster for left-hander Grant Wolfram, acquired from the Brewers in exchange for Triple-A Norfolk outfielder Daz Cameron and cash considerations. The subscapul

The Orioles today announced that they have acquired left-handed pitcher GRANT WOLFRAM from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor league outfielder DAZ CAMERON and cash considerations. He has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Wolfram (pronounced WOHL-fram), 28, spent one day in the big leagues after being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on A
