Facing a right-handed starter today, the Orioles have found spots in the lineup for Pedro Álvarez, Anthony Santander and Chance Sisco. Álvarez is batting second against the Tigers' Jordan Zimmermann as the Orioles try to avoid being swept on their road trip. Luis Sardiñas, who hit a game-tying home run yesterday in the top of the ninth inning, is playing second base this afternoon and batting sixth. Trey Mancini is batting .346 (18-for-52) with a .414 on base percentage in 12 games...

DETROIT - If the Orioles lose to the Detroit Tigers this afternoon, they will have a winless road trip, going 0-6. They've not been swept in a three-game series at Detroit since July 5-7, 2010. The Orioles have fallen to 5-13 overall, 3-9 on the road, and have lost seven of their last eight games. They are trying to snap their second five-game losing streak today. Detroit began this series with five straight losses and a mark of 4-9 overall and 1-5 at home. But the Tigers have posted 4-2 and...

NEW YORK - The Nationals learned one important lesson from their late-inning collapse Wednesday night in an 11-5 loss to the Mets: The bullpen cannot deliver every time, especially when heavy use turns into taxed arms. Ryan Madson was appearing in his third game of the series and admitted that game two took a lot out of him. In game three, he did not have enough firepower left and the Mets hit him. Madson, who went to high school about 66 miles east of Dodgers Stadium in Moreno Valley, has...

NEW YORK - In the end, a tired Nationals bullpen could not hold up for a third game in a row. Nursing a 4-2 lead, the bullpen imploded for one of the rare times this season, allowing nine runs on six hits in the eighth, and the Mets salvaged the final game of the series, 11-5. Ryan Madson, pitching in his third consecutive game of the series, surrendered three straight singles before recording an out. Todd Frazier connected on a two-run single and pinch-hitter Juan Lagares' line drive curled...

DETROIT - If you were managing the Orioles right now and your team was so desperate for wins, taking some positives from a brutal loss would probably not be a bad strategy. Buck Showalter was looking to at least do some of that after Wednesday's 6-5 walk-off loss at Comerica Park. The Orioles came back with late offense, but so did Detroit. Backup catcher John Hicks hit a three-run homer off Darren O'Day in the eighth for the Tigers, and Dixon Machado hit a walk-off homer off Pedro Araujo in...

NEW YORK - Manager Davey Martinez started the series here at Citi Field by saying they would not "tinker" with Ryan Zimmerman's swing, despite a .111 start at the plate to begin the season. Good thing he didn't. Facing Mets left-hander Steven Matz in the top of the first, Zimmerman got a hold of a 3-2 offering and drilled it over the center field wall for a 3-0 Nats lead. It was Zimmerman's second homer of the season. Howie Kendrick had beat out an infield single and Bryce Harper walked...

NEW YORK - More positive news as second baseman Daniel Murphy continues his rehab from microfracture surgery in his right knee. Manager Davey Martinez said pregame that Murphy has been very active in baseball related activities in West Palm Beach at the club's spring training facility. "He got five at-bats yesterday, did well," Martinez said. "He ran the bases. He took 35 ground balls. He did good. Progression every day. We will see what happens today or tomorrow." Martinez was not able to...

DETROIT - Right now the Orioles can't seem to avoid losing. They scored three runs in the top of the eighth to lead 4-2 and then saw Detroit score three in the bottom half to lead 5-4. The Orioles homered to tie it in the ninth. The Tigers homered for the walk-off in the ninth. Dixon Machado's homer on the second pitch of the last of the ninth gave the Tigers the 6-5 walk-off victory. It was his first career walk-off home run. The Orioles finally got some runs and looked headed for a comeback...
