After Thursday's rainout, the Orioles and New York Yankees look to get their series going tonight at Camden Yards. It is now a rain-shortened three-game series and the rainout will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader on July 9 at 4:05 p.m.
Both clubs just pushed their starters back a day. So Andrew Cashner (2-6, 5.07 ERA) faces Sonny Gray (3-4, 5.98 ERA) tonight. On Saturday afternoon, the scheduled starters are Kevin Gausman (3-4, 4.31 ERA) and Masahiro Tanaka (6-2, 4.62...
Last night's postponement pushes the Orioles' starters back a day in the series and bumps Dylan Bundy from facing the Yankees.
Andrew Cashner gets the ball tonight - weather permitting, of course - followed by Kevin Gausman on Saturday and Alex Cobb on Sunday.
The Orioles are off Monday, other than working the First-Year Player Draft, which keeps Bundy waiting until Tuesday night against the Mets at Citi Field.
Bundy is 2-3 with a 5.34 ERA and 1.582 WHIP in seven career games against the...
ATLANTA - The mild-mannered crowd of 22,380 at this second-year ballpark in the suburbs didn't much convey it, but tonight's game between the Nationals and Braves was the biggest matchup of these division rivals in at least four years, with first place at stake.
Then again, the visiting club that has ruled the National League East for the better part of six seasons now didn't exactly put on its best show in the opener of this four-game series.
Despite two early runs that seemed to set the...
Tonight'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 traditional (single-admission) doubleheader on Monday, July 9.
The first game of the July 9 doubleheader will begin at 4:05 p.m. ET, followed by the regularly-scheduled game approximately 30 minutes after the first game concludes.
Tickets and parking for Thursday's postponed game will not be automatically honored for the July 9 doubleheader. Fans...
ATLANTA - In the opener of their big weekend series with the Braves, the Nationals have played some small ball to get on the board. Atlanta, on the other hand, has piled up hits to take the lead.
The Nats scored two runs in the first three innings with the benefit of only three hits, all singles. Rather, it was two walks, two stolen bases (one of them a double-steal) and two productive outs that helped make those two early runs possible.
Back-to-back walks by Trea Turner and Bryce Harper put...
ATLANTA - The Nationals are getting the first of their key injured players back tonight, with Ryan Madson activated off the disabled list. And more appear to be coming, with Brian Goodwin likely joining the club this weekend and Daniel Murphy and Matt Grace not too far behind.
Madson was added back to the active roster in time for tonight's opener against the Braves, the strained right pectoral muscle that sidelined him for two weeks having healed.
The veteran setup man was able to make it...
Jonathan Schoop will try to bust out of his slump tonight against Yankees right-hander Sonny Gray. He's batting fifth for the first time this season after occupying the cleanup spot in 21 games.
Manager Buck Showalter also used Schoop once as the leadoff hitter and batted him third in 14 games.
Nothing is working for Schoop while he's gone 3-for-20 with seven strikeouts in his last five games. Three of the strikeouts came last night against Nationals starter Max Scherzer.
He's getting good...
After losing three straight to the Washington Nationals by a combined 11-2 score, the Orioles host the New York Yankees tonight. It's the start of a four-game series to wrap up a seven-game homestand.
No game tonight: Tonight's game has been rained out. The clubs will make it up as part of a single-admission doubleheader on Monday July 9 at 4:05 p.m.
The Yankees (35-17) are two games behind the Red Sox (39-17) for the American League East lead. They also hold the second-best win percentage in...
Jonathan Schoop has been lowered to fifth in the lineup for tonight's series opener against the Yankees. Mark Trumbo inherited the cleanup spot against right-hander Sonny Gray.
Schoop, last year's Most Valuable Oriole, is 3-for-20 with seven strikeouts in his last five games and is batting .230/.258/.375 this season.
Chris Davis is batting sixth tonight. Jace Peterson continues to lead off.
Andrew Cashner started at Yankee Stadium on April 5, his second game as an Oriole, and allowed only one...
ATLANTA - And a very pleasant good afternoon to you from SunTrust Park, here in beautiful unincorporated Atlanta. The hometown Braves have been among the biggest surprises in baseball so far, with the youngest roster in the sport playing an exciting brand of ball and (until last night) holding first place in the National League East division.
That changed last night when the Nationals finished off their sweep of the Orioles and the Braves lost to the Mets, but that doesn't make this weekend's...
