Aberdeen, MD. - Pitching in a game for the first time in nearly six weeks, Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman allowed three runs in two innings pitching tonight for short-season Single-A Aberdeen against the Tri-City ValleyCats, a Houston Astros affiliate.
To say the least, the game did not start well for the right-hander, who walked the leadoff batter on five pitches and gave up a ground single to right to 2018 first-round draft pick Seth Beer. With No. 3 hitter Emmanual Valdez batting, a...
WASHINGTON - The Orioles created a roster spot for starter Andrew Cashner by optioning infielder Corban Joseph to Double-A Bowie.
The Joseph brothers are separated again after Corban went 1-for-9 in four games. He picked up an RBI last night on a fielder's choice grounder.
Other moves are coming within the next few days. And the Orioles are waiting for Pedro Ãlvarez to decide whether he's going to report to Triple-A Norfolk after the Orioles designated him for assignment...
There has been no more productive hitter on the Nationals roster over the last two weeks than Michael A. Taylor. Since June 6, he's sporting a monstrous .545/.600/.636 offensive slash line, tops on the roster in each of those categories.
So why has the hottest hitter on the team started only six of the team's 12 games during this stretch, none of the last three?
The answer involves a combination of recent matchups with opposing pitchers, the emergence of Juan Soto as an offensive force in his...
The Orioles and Washington Nationals have played every year since 2006, and that is 12 season series through 2017. The Orioles have won more games head-to-head seven times, the clubs tied four times and the Nationals won the season series just one time, in 2007.
That is until this year. The Nationals are 4-0 against the Orioles with two games to go in the season series. So they have their second season series win over Baltimore after last night's 9-7 win in Washington.
The Orioles had an early...
WASHINGTON - Trey Mancini has returned to the leadoff spot tonight as the Orioles continue their series against the Nationals.
Craig Gentry is in right field. Caleb Joseph is catching again.
The Orioles haven't announced a corresponding roster move for Andrew Cashner, who comes off the disabled list today.
Meanwhile, the Orioles have signed two more picks from the 2018 First-Year Player Draft, infielders Trevor Putzig (17th round) and John Ham (31st). Twenty-three selections are under...
The Nationals scored nine runs last night, so you can understand why Davey Martinez is going with the same lineup tonight (aside from a swap of catchers, and of course pitchers). That does mean, however, that Michael A. Taylor is again on the bench, despite the fact he's 12-for-22 with a .600 on-base percentage and 1.236 OPS the last two weeks.
That lineup is going up against right-hander Andrew Cashner, one of the Orioles' big offseason signings who like the rest of the team has been...
Right-hander Jefrey Rodriguez didn't fare as well in his first major league start for the Nationals as he did in his first outing in Atlanta, but there were still some positive moments.
"It definitely felt better, more normal for me," Rodriguez said through team interpreter Octavio Martinez. "I've always been a starter so that first outing for me in the big leagues I came out of the bullpen that was a first time for me. But today I was able to take my time, prepare myself a little better...
Nearly all of Adam Eaton's tenure with the Nationals has been spent trying to get comfortable, whether that was in the form of assimilating into a new roster and clubhouse last season or twice trying to get back into daily action after missing significant time due to injury.
It's an ongoing process, but through it all the dynamic outfielder has remained a consistently productive hitter.
Eaton has now played 40 total games for the Nationals the last two seasons combined, with major knee and...
The Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Orioles have begun a new season in Sarasota, Fla. The club's opening-day roster included 16 players from the 2018 draft, including nine pitchers, two catchers, two infielders and three outfielders.
Here is the roster and we've noted the draft round for the players on this roster taken in the 2018 First-Year Player Draft.
Pitchers: Felix Bautista, Andrew Ciolli (round 37), Matthew De La Rosa, Cody Hacker (round 15), Matt Hammonds, Tyler Joyner (round 30),...
Right-hander Kelvin Herrera arrived at 3:30 p.m. eastern time into Washington, D.C. Six hours later, he recorded his first hold as the Washington Nationals came back to beat the Orioles, 9-7.
He recorded three outs on six pitches: getting Jonathan Schoop, Danny Valencia and Trey Mancini in order.
"I saw velocity, which is what you see," shortstop Trea Turner said. "I've seen him pitch for a while now, not all the time, but I watched that 2015 World Series when they won, and he's...
