The Orioles recalled Jimmy Yacabonis this morning as the 26th man for their doubleheader and he's starting Game 1. Yacabonis faced the Red Sox twice last year in relief and allowed one run and two hits in 1 2/3 innings. Cedric Mullins remains in center field and is batting eighth ahead of catcher Austin Wynns. Adam Jones continues to play right field. Mark Trumbo has a 12-game hitting streak that ties his career high. He's 19-for-47 (.404) with five home runs, 14 RBIs and 11 runs scored. Tim...

The two biggest foolers in baseball tend to be spring training and September stats. What you see isn't necessarily what you get outside the confines of a small sample size. Manager Buck Showalter has issued the warning on multiple occasions. Not to keep picking on Jake Fox, but he was Babe Ruth in exhibition games. The media created an imaginary award in his honor. The plays that Cedric Mullins kept making in center field were real and didn't come with any warnings. The diving catches on...

CHICAGO - For all the difficulty Sammy Solís and Greg Holland had in the sixth and seventh innings, ultimately costing the Nats the game, Koda Glover and Wander Suero pitched exceptionally well after that. And in doing so may have earned their manager's trust to start pitching in big situations like the ones Solís and Holland failed in at Wrigley Field. After Holland walked in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the seventh, manager Davey Martinez summoned Glover to enter from the bullpen...

The Orioles had a chance for a feel-good win on Cedric Mullins' first night in the majors, and with the kid making a major contribution. But Boston's potent offense and some very shaky Orioles pitching didn't allow it. The O's led 8-3 after the third inning but lost 19-12 tonight in front of 23,649 at Camden Yards in the opener of a four-game weekend series. The Orioles (35-81) have lost six of their past eight games. They are 2-11 versus Boston this year and 2-14 in the last 16 between...

As the Orioles ran onto the field tonight for the anthem at Camden Yards, Adam Jones found his mark and stood next to Trey Mancini with his back to the infield. Cedric Mullins trailed them, despite Jones' urging that he leave the dugout first, and stepped in between, finding his niche as the new center fielder. He wasn't too bad as the No. 9 hitter. Mullins lined an RBI double to right field off Nathan Eovaldi in his first major league at-bat in the second inning, bringing the Orioles'...

The Orioles scored eight early runs to lead Boston by five. In his major league debut, outfielder Cedric Mullins had two hits and two RBIs by the third inning. But as the game went on, Boston kept scoring. The Red Sox produced 14 runs from the sixth through the eighth in a 19-12 win over the Orioles Friday night. It was ugly and it took four hours and a minute to play. The O's bullpen allowed 11 runs. Dylan Bundy gave up eight to tie his career high. Bundy's ERA is 7.71 his past six...

Orioles left fielder Trey Mancini will play alongside a new center fielder and right fielder tonight. With Cedric Mullins' call-up today, he will start in center field as Adam Jones moves to right. Mancini, who played his first Orioles game on Sept. 20, 2016, said he expects Mullins to bring confidence into his first big league game, and that that is something very important for any player in his first game at this level. "You have to have that (confident) mentality from the second you get...

Orioles manager Buck Showalter expects to keep rookie Cedric Mullins in center field and Adam Jones in right beyond tonight's series opener against the Red Sox at Camden Yards. Showalter won't go back and forth unless circumstances force him to adjust the plan. "Adam will play right and Cedric will play center," Showalter said. "That's the way I perceive it. Something happens with Cedric, we'll see. If something happens with Adam. I hope nothing does. "Adam's playing right field today...

CHICAGO - The stakes perhaps felt a little higher, given the opposition, the location and all the familiar faces that have worn both clubs' uniforms in the last two seasons. But today's series opener at Wrigley Field felt remarkably familiar for a Nationals team that has found itself in situations just like this all summer long and consistently has shown itself unable to emerge victorious. Early offense, but a bunch of squandered opportunities to tack on needed runs later? Check. Dominance...

Orioles fans may have been anticipating the call-up of outfielder Cedric Mullins for weeks. But Mullins himself said he didn't think too much about it. That was until after the Triple-A Norfolk game yesterday afternoon. "R.J. (Norfolk manager Ron Johnson) called me into his office to ask me how I was feeling. Because I didn't play that day (after being ill). I said, 'I'm feeing good.' He said, 'Guess what, you're going to be feeling great. You're going to the bigs.' Kind of caught me...
