The Orioles begin their final road series of the 2018 season tonight at Boston's Fenway Park. The Orioles won Sunday in New York, to start this last road trip 1-2. The Orioles had 37 hits in the series in the Bronx. It was just the second three-game series all year where the offense produced 10 or more hits in all three games. The other was at home Aug. 27-29 versus Toronto. The Orioles finished the season going 5-4 at Yankee Stadium. Heading into tonight's game they are 3-23 on the road in...

BOSTON - The Orioles are challenged again to come up with a suitable number of starters to get through the last week of the season. The Tuesday vacancy remains and a replacement for Yefry Ramírez is needed for Wednesday's series finale due to a cut on the rookie's right thumb. Ramírez could pitch again this week, but he needs more time for the cut to heal. "I'd like to give him an extra day or two," said manager Buck Showalter. "I think Yefry will pitch again but I'm not sure when....

Outfielders Juan Soto and Victor Robles are both from the Dominican Republic and both made it to the major leagues at a young age. Soto made his debut May 20 at the age of 19. He has not looked back. Sunday was his first day off since that first week. Soto has impressed from the start, hitting .293 with 20 homers and 65 RBIs. Watching a Soto at-bat is a good way to see a bit of his personality. Between each pitch, he sweeps the dirt around to the edges of the batter's box with his left and...

The Nationals may need to do some more rotation finagling this week, with Tanner Roark's status again uncertain. Roark, whose wife gave birth to the couple's third child last week, returned to his home in Atlanta on Sunday. Manager Davey Martinez said the right-hander is still penciled in to pitch Wednesday's home finale against the Marlins, but the club is making plans in case that doesn't happen. "Tanner went home, so we'll address that," Martinez said. "I'm going to talk to him in...

If you've stepped outside today, or even just looked out a window, you know what the weather has been like and is supposed to continue to be like through the evening. In a word: rain. The conditions, of course, were similar yesterday and the Nationals and Mets still managed to play, thanks to near-constant work on the infield by a grounds crew that has earned plenty of overtime this season. That crew is back at it right now, prepping the infield. The Nationals took the previously uncommon step...

The Orioles today announced plans for Fan Appreciation Weekend, which will be held Friday, September 28, through Sunday, September 30, when the Orioles host the reigning World Champion Houston Astros for the final four-game series of the 2018 regular season. The weekend will feature exclusive giveaways and opportunities for fans to enjoy unforgettable experiences at Oriole Park. As a "thank you" to fans for their support throughout the season, the Orioles will surprise the most-spirited fans...

BOSTON - With the Orioles scrambling to fill out their pitching staff over the final week of the season, injuries and innings limits conspiring to leave them shorthanded, the decision has been made to select left-hander John Means' contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Means has joined the team in Boston for tonight's series opener against the Red Sox. How the Orioles intend to use Means is unknown and should be revealed later today. They haven't announced a starter for Tuesday night and Means...

As the Orioles enter the final week of their worst season in team history, they are likely closing the chapter on a much larger story. It's likely the end of two eras in Baltimore that include two of the franchise's most important figures. Buck Showalter and Adam Jones probably aren't returning to the team in 2019, and that brings up a lot of emotions for fans and the organization alike. I hate to even use the word "bittersweet," because it sounds so much like a tired, old cliché. For...
