BOSTON - Mark Trumbo moves up to fifth in the order tonight with Chris Davis lowered to sixth. Joey Rickard remains in right field and Andrew Susac is behind the plate. A loss tonight would give the Orioles a club-record 14 in a row on the road. Alex Cobb is still looking for his first win as an Oriole, going 0-5 with a 7.06 ERA and 1.875 WHIP in six starts over 29 1/3 innings. His debut came against the Red Sox on April 14 at Fenway Park, when he allowed seven earned runs (eight total) and 10...

To answer your question before you even ask it: No, I don't know if tonight's game is going to be played, delayed or postponed. The forecast obviously looks terrible. As it continues to look Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening. As always, when I know, you'll know. If by some chance they're able to play, it'll be Max Scherzer on the mound for the Nationals. Scherzer was supposed to start Wednesday night against the Yankees on normal rest. Now he's on an extra two days' rest. Is that a...

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...

O's promote righty Michael Baumann in series of minors pitching moves
Steve Melewski
Orioles
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...
