Orioles ace Corbin Burnes could have started tonight on regular rest and faced the Yankees Sunday in the last game before the All-Star break. Instead, he follows Dean Kremer on Wednesday and is available to pitch Tuesday for the American League. The Orioles hold a three-game lead over the Yankees going into tonight, adding to the importance of the

He was one of six Orioles who were finalists in the American League in voting for the All-Star game. As it turned out, Gunnar Henderson will start at shortstop and Adley Rutschman as the catcher for the American League, but no other O's finalists made the team. That group includes Ryan Mountcastle, Jordan Westburg, Ryan O’Hearn and Anthony Santande

NEW YORK – After a 3-5 homestand, the Nationals cannot get back to a .500 record before the All-Star break next week.

To say this was an eventful week for the Nationals would be a gross understatement. The organization made a number of significant transactions that lowered the age of the big league roster. James Wood made his major league debut. Brady House was promoted to Triple-A. Several veterans were dropped from the roster. CJ Abrams earned his first All-Star

Refresh my memory, please. Is the All-Star break the official or unofficial halfway point of the season? Because you also have the 81-game mark, which is mathematically halfway. It’s so confusing. But not as much as Craig Kimbrel’s exclusion from the Midsummer Classic. Yeah, we’re going back to that topic before tonight’s series opener against the

They would never say it publicly, but the Nationals sure could’ve used a day off at the end of a long, disgustingly hot homestand. Instead, the schedule-makers had them play back-to-back, four-game series, including this wraparound set against the Cardinals that started Friday evening and ended early this evening with a result that felt a bit too p
