Throughout the summer, the Orioles invite fans to enjoy performances from a cross-section of emerging and established artists on Friday evenings as part of the club's new Friday Fireworks & Music at America's Ballpark series. Following each Friday night game at Oriole Park from June through August, the Orioles will host a postgame, on-field musical performance followed by a spectacular fireworks display. The first Friday Fireworks & Music event will feature singer, songwriter, and...

When you think of summer, what comes to mind? Warm nights under the stars? Baseball games with an ice cream in hand? Maybe you think of fireworks lighting up the night sky, time with family or a summer concert. Well, lucky for you, the Orioles and MASN are bringing some of your favorite aspects of summer together in the first "Friday Fireworks & Music at America's Ballpark" series at Oriole Park at Camden Yards! The performances kicked off Friday, June 1 with a special postgame...

After an incredibly successful road trip, including a four-game sweep of the National League West-leading Diamondbacks, the Nationals returned to Washington for an eight-game homestand riding a tidal wave of momentum. The team played 17 consecutive days going back to April 27 and transformed its subpar 11-15 record into the present 24-18 mark. In addition, the two scheduled off-days on Monday and Thursday this week would help recharge everyone's collective batteries. Unfortunately, Mother...

A look through the Orioles stats is a pretty fun trip these days. You get to see Manny Machado's name quite a bit. He's the team's leader in batting average, home runs, RBIs, on-base percentage, hits, slugging percentage, WAR and I'm sure a bunch of other categories. It's no surprise, given the success the Orioles shortstop has had at the plate this season. He continues to amaze each and every night and sometimes it's hard to look past Machado to see what the rest of the O's offense is...

BOSTON - A team hitting the road shouldn't expect to keep getting punched in the mouth. Not this many times in a row. The Orioles have lost 13 consecutive games away from Camden Yards to tie the club record set during their historic 0-21 start in 1988. As if we need another link to the inglorious past. No team had lost 13 straight on the road since the Braves from Aug. 11-Sept. 6, 2015. Last night marked the Orioles' seventh straight loss to the Red Sox dating back to last season, their...

He's been the most dominant starting pitcher this year on the O's farm, and now right-hander Michael Baumann will get the challenge of facing hitters in the Carolina League. We learned late last night that the Orioles are promoting Baumann from Single-A Delmarva to Single-A Frederick as part of moves involving eight players and all four full-season affiliates. A third-round round pick out of Jacksonville University in June 2017, Baumann has dominant numbers since joining the pro ranks. In...

You've seen them on Twitter. You've liked them and shared them with your fellow Orioles fans. But exactly how do those pictures of other birds as the Orioles logo come to fruition? Paul and I have a special guest on this edition of the "MASN All Access" podcast, as Michael Taylor, founder and creater of the Other Birds as the Orioles Logo account on Twitter (@SmilingBirdLogo), joins us via Skype to discuss his artistic creations that have taken Birdland by storm. Michael gives us the...

BOSTON - The numbers didn't lie. Mookie Betts was 12-for-29 against Orioles starter Kevin Gausman heading into tonight's game. He led off the bottom of the first inning with a sharp single into left field. J.D. Martinez was 4-for-7 against Gausman. He drove a splitter into the center field seats. The lopsided nature of the inning also held true, along with the Orioles' futility on the road. Gausman couldn't get out of the fifth inning or stop the Red Sox from running wild, David Price went...

BOSTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter explained today's roster move, with catcher Andrew Susac recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and Caleb Joseph optioned to the Tides, as being "best for everybody concerned." Susac is in tonight's lineup and Joseph will be reporting to Norfolk after batting .182/.203/.325 in 24 games and going 4-for-19 throwing out runners attempting to steal. He also had four errors and two passed balls. "Andrew has been doing well," Showalter said. "Caleb, I think,...
