Right-hander Dylan Bundy got back in the win column and the Orioles offense kept coming this afternoon. Jonathan Schoop hit yet another homer, Chris Davis hit two and Austin Wynns also connected as the Orioles beat Tampa Bay 11-5 at Camden Yards.
The Orioles (32-74) win this series, three victories to one, and have just their second three-game win streak of the season. They won four straight from May 9-12 and this is just the second winning streak of more than two games all season. They...
The Orioles made it through today's game without a trade. Adam Jones stayed in the lineup, and likely will continue to do so through the season unless swayed to revoke his 10-5 rights. Brad Brach remained in the bullpen, inactive since Tuesday except for conversation and munching sunflower seeds.
The games still matter to this crew despite the constant chatter surrounding a rebuild. Their opponent over the weekend can verify it.
The Orioles jumped on Rays starter Yonny Chirinos for three runs...
MIAMI - It's tough to imagine that the outcome of one game on July 29 in front of a crowd of 12,112 at Marlins Park that was more interested in the Talking Pitbull Bobblehead Giveaway than the actual ballgame being played would be the sole determinant whether the Nationals front office decides to be a buyer or a seller before Tuesday's trade deadline.
Club executives have watched the Nats play 105 games now in 2018, and the total sum of those four months should leave them with a better feel...

The Orioles reduced their 40-man roster to 38 players today by outrighting left-hander Chris Lee to Double-A Bowie after he cleared waivers.
Lee returned to Triple-A Norfolk's roster a few days ago after being on the disabled list with an injury to his left shoulder. He began the season on the DL with a right oblique injury suffered while facing one batter in an exhibition game against the Rays in Port Charlotte.
Two pitches ended Lee's day and forced him to stay at extended spring...
Less than 72 hours before the non-waiver trade deadline and the Orioles remain in talks with several clubs. However, they've been given no indication that center fielder Adam Jones will waive his 10-5 rights and approve a deal.
The Phillies, Indians and Giants have shown their interest in Jones, but a source confirmed earlier today that the five-time All-Star has expressed his desire to remain with the Orioles. The Phillies apparently were making a strong push for him.
The matter remains under...
Saying "rest assured we have wrestled with the decision," Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said today on 105.7 FM The Fan that he believes there is a better than 50-50 percent chance that outfielder Adam Jones is still an Oriole after Tuesday's 4 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline.
"I do. I believe he'll be an Oriole on Wednesday," Duquette said. "These veteran players, it's a tough, tough decision. Rest assured that we have wrestled with that decision...
MIAMI - Mark Reynolds has played more games in his career at third base than any other position, but the vast majority of those games came early in his career with the Diamondbacks and Orioles, a full decade ago.
Reynolds didn't spend a moment at third base in either 2016 or 2017 with the Rockies, and whatever playing time he has received with the Nationals this season has almost exclusively come at first base. Until this weekend.
With Anthony Rendon away from the club for the entire series...
The Orioles wrap up their four-game series against the Rays today by keeping Joey Rickard in right field.
Thirteen of Rickard's 18 RBIs this season have come against the Rays and he's 8-for-19 with three doubles and three home runs against them this season. Rickard's eight RBIs in the last two nights are the most in back-to-back games in his career.
Adam Jones is in center field. He hasn't been traded despite internet rumors this morning to the contrary.
Jace Peterson is at third base and...
MIAMI - Is it actually possible that the fate of the Nationals' season comes down to one game on July 29 at Marlins Park?
If they win today's series finale, they'll reach the trade deadline with a winning record and be either five or six games back in the division. If they lose, they'll reach the trade deadline with a losing record and be either six or seven games back in the division. In reality, that's not a significant difference. In the perception of the people who must decide whether...
