A record that the baseball world viewed as unbreakable almost stayed intact because of a brawl on June 6, 1993 at Camden Yards – two years and three months before Cal Ripken Jr. played in his 2,131st consecutive game to pass Lou Gehrig. The delay lasted 20 minutes after benches and bullpens emptied. Orioles starter Mike Mussina hit Bill Haselman af

“Leading off for the Dodgers, pitcher Shohei Ohtani.” That's where the oddities began. The Orioles prepped for the wrong Dodgers starter. Their starter left with an injury. Their rookie catcher came within a strike of sending the game to extra innings before hitting a walk-off home run that spun the night into something worth celebrating. And boy,

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino was heading back indoors around 3:30 p.m. when he found out that the Dodgers weren’t starting Tyler Glasnow tonight at Camden Yards. “My watch just buzzed me when I was walking in from early BP,” he said. “I thought somebody was messing with me, but apparently not.” No, it was true.

The Orioles have made the following roster move: RHP Elvin Rodríguez claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Orioles went from missing Shohei Ohtani to facing him tonight to begin a three-game series against the Dodgers at Camden Yards. Tyler Glasnow was scratched and Ohtani will make tonight’s start.

CHICAGO – Josiah Gray is ready to pitch in a competitive game for the first time since his Tommy John surgery more than a year ago. The Nationals right-hander has been cleared to depart West Palm Beach, Fla., and will make a rehab start Sunday for Single-A Wilmington, his first game action in more than 14 months. He’s scheduled for two innings and

CHICAGO – The Nationals proved this week they can beat the Marlins. Three times in a row, to be exact. And with a four-game series coming up next week in Miami, there’s some genuine optimism around this team for the first time in a while. But before that, there are three games to play this weekend at Wrigley Field against a much better Cubs team th

Mike Bielecki was a local guy who needed a favor. Bielecki grew up in Dundalk and attended Loyola College. He rooted for the Orioles as a kid and a young adult. And right there in front of him, on Sept. 6, 1995, was the chance to throw a pitch in an historic game at Camden Yards. Cal Ripken Jr. was about to break Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games reco

The Orioles have made the following roster move: RHP Corbin Martin cleared outright waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.
