Individual performances are nice, like Chance Sisco throwing out three runners in a game or Manny Machado hitting two homers. Again. Yet they seem to keep happening in Orioles losses. Machado hit solo homers off two-time Cy Young winner Corey Kluber in the first and fourth innings today, yet his team lost again.m Cleveland beat the Orioles 7-3 at Camden Yards, dropping the Orioles record to 3-6 at home and to 6-16 for the season. They've lost eight of nine and 10 of 12 games. "There is no...

LOS ANGELES - After some star-studded matchups to begin this weekend's series, the finale on Sunday Night Baseball doesn't quite stack up. It's Jeremy Hellickson versus Alex Wood. Not that this game is any less important for either the Nationals or Dodgers, each very motivated to win the series and get back to the .500 mark in the process. As has been the case for more than a week now, the Nationals would love to have Anthony Rendon in their lineup. But for the eighth consecutive game since...

The Orioles got some early offense going against two-time Cy Young winner Corey Kluber, who had allowed just one run in his last two starts combined. But it would not be enough today. Orioles right-hander Andrew Cashner allowed eight hits and four runs over six innings - the exact numbers as Chris Tillman Saturday - as Cleveland beat the Orioles 7-3 in front of 27,394 at Camden Yards. With their 10th loss in 12 games, the Orioles fall to 6-16 for the season. They are 3-6 at home, scoring 18...

Take one lead against Corey Kluber and count your blessings. Take two and wish you could also take a knee and run out the clock. Not in baseball. Manny Machado homered twice this afternoon and Chris Davis broke a tie in the fourth inning with a run-scoring single, but the Indians battled back against Andrew Cashner to move ahead in the fifth and claimed a 7-3 victory over the Orioles before an announced crowd of 27,394 at Camden Yards. The Orioles (6-16) have dropped 10 of their last 12 games...

With a team batting average of just .216 for the season and a club that is scoring just 3.3 runs per game, today the Orioles face a two-time Cy Young Award winner. Right-hander Corey Kluber, the AL Cy Young winner in 2014 and 2017, will face the Orioles this afternoon at Camden Yards. Baltimore beat Cleveland 3-1 Friday night behind Dylan Bundy but was shutout 4-0 yesterday and held to two hits in a complete-game outing by Mike Clevinger. In becoming the 19th multiple winner of the Cy Young,...

Mark Trumbo is headed to Double-A Bowie to restart his injury rehab assignment. Trumbo will play for the Baysox in a three-game series against Richmond that begins Monday, most likely in the field the first two nights before serving as the designated hitter in the afternoon finale. The plan also calls for Trumbo to work out on Thursday and join Triple-A Norfolk for three games in Charlotte. Trumbo has been on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right quadriceps muscle. He played for Bowie...

LOS ANGELES - Davey Martinez's afternoon declaration that Anthony Rendon would likely be available to pinch-hit surely left many of Nationals fans wondering why the star third baseman never did emerge from the dugout during Saturday night's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers. It's not like there wasn't an opportunity, most notably the top of the eighth, when with his team trailing by two runs, Martinez sent Matt Reynolds instead of Rendon up to pinch-hit against lefty Tony Cingrani. Reynolds, who...

LOS ANGELES - It was as electric a moment as the Nationals have experienced so far this season, it ranked with any moment of Stephen Strasburg's career and it felt like it could have been the moment that propelled the Nats to come back and beat the Dodgers tonight. By game's end, though, Strasburg's dazzling escape from a bases-loaded jam in the sixth was a mere footnote. Such is life when the opposition tacks on runs late and your own lineup totals two hits during a 4-0 loss at Dodger...

On a team that again couldn't generate much of an offensive attack yesterday, deep fly balls celebrated as some sort of moral victory, Chance Sisco had a single and a walk in three plate appearances and was crowned king for a day. The kid has hit pretty much throughout his life. But anything he does behind the plate will overshadow it. The bat got the Orioles' attention. Defense will get him more opportunities in the majors. Sisco couldn't prevent two wild pitches from Chris Tillman because...
