Today's scheduled game between the Orioles and New York Yankees has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up as part of a split (separate-admission) doubleheader on Saturday, August 25. The first game of the doubleheader on August 25 will begin at 1:05 p.m. ET. The second game will begin as scheduled at 7:05 p.m. Both games will be broadcast on MASN and on the Orioles Radio Network, including the flagship station 105.7 The Fan. Separate admission is required for each...

It is always such a treat to have a fellow broadcaster join us to talk about a book he has written. Today it is Steve Physioc of the Royals broadcast team. Steve has been in the professional play by play business since 1983 with the Reds, Giants, Angels, ESPN and now the Royals. With the support of his family, he undertook a long look at the history of Lucca, Italy, and the story-filled history of the place. From that examination came this novel. I have not yet read this book. The release came...

The Orioles are recalling catcher Austin Wynns from Triple-A Norfolk today to replace Andrew Susac, who was optioned last night. Wynns, 27, will be making his major league debut. It's termed "recalled" because he's on the 40-man roster. The leadoff carousel spun in Joey Rickard's direction yesterday, with the outfielder and former Rule 5 pick chosen to bat atop the order. If not him, then who? Manager Buck Showalter has used seven different players in the leadoff spot, with Rickard...

ATLANTA - A lot happened during Saturday's 5-3 14-inning victory for the Nationals. Obviously, Max Scherzer's pinch-hit single and scamper around the bases to score the go-ahead run drew much of the attention and rightfully so. But this game also would not have been won by the Nationals if not for a brilliant pitching performance against a Braves lineup that has been among the most productive in the majors this season. Gio Gonzalez authored another quality start, allowing three runs in seven...

The Orioles continue moving on like a boat taking on water, springing leaks all over. After getting four straight quality starts - a season-high - Kevin Gausman allowed six runs over 5 1/3 innings last night. The defense behind him collapsed with three errors in the sixth, leading to an unearned run. The offense finally scored some runs and hit three homers, but still fell well short. The New York Yankees beat the Orioles 8-5 in front of 32,823 at Camden Yards that included a lot of fans that...

The Orioles made a roster move following today's 8-5 loss to the Yankees, optioning catcher Andrew Susac to Triple-A Norfolk. The corresponding move will be revealed Sunday morning. Caleb Joseph is behind the plate tonight at Norfolk. Austin Wynns is on the bench. Joseph was optioned May 17 to make room for Susac, who is 3-for-26 with the Orioles. Joseph was batting .182/.203/.325 in 24 games with the Orioles, threw out 4 of 19 runners attempting to steal and committed four errors. He also had...

The game started an hour and 44 minutes late due to a delay that featured little rain. Kevin Gausman allowed two homers and the home team made three errors in the top of the sixth. So there have been better nights for the Orioles this year. At least the run total was higher than the errors total by one. They did cut a four-run deficit to two in the sixth and hit three home runs of their own but they lost 8-5 to the New York Yankees, who have taken the first two games in this series. While the...

The Orioles were going to need more than one run today. More than Adam Jones' solo homer in the first inning that provided an early lead. More than they've been able to muster during an agonizing stretch. By the third inning, they were going to need more than the four runs that the Yankees put on the board. The rain increased in intensity following a prestart delay of 1 hour, 44 minutes. A black cloud threatens to follow this team throughout the summer. Miguel Andújar and Giancarlo Stanton...

ATLANTA - All afternoon and into the evening they were searching for somebody, anybody, to deliver the hit that would break their moribund lineup out of its slumber. Who knew the answer wasn't any of the Nationals' position players, but rather their ace? Max Scherzer - yes, Max Scherzer - delivered the one-out single that got a 14th-inning rally jumpstarted, then raced all the way around the bases to score on Wilmer Difo's triple to the gap in right-center, the run that ultimately propelled...

ATLANTA - Gio Gonzalez is authoring another gem. Juan Soto and Michael A. Taylor have supplied some early offense, but the Nationals will have to play the rest of today's game without cleanup hitter Matt Adams. Adams departed in the middle of the fourth inning with an apparent injury. He fouled a ball off his foot in the top of the frame before flying out to left field. The Nationals do not provide in-game injury updates, so Adams' abrupt exit will be something of a mystery for a few more...
