The Orioles losing streak reached five last night with another night of getting a short and ineffective outing from a starting pitcher. Over these five games the Orioles have allowed 40 runs. With the Orioles and just about every other contending team in the majors in the market for starting pitching, it is natural to think about Chicago White Sox

Austin Hays has lived through some of the darkest days in recent Orioles history. He played in 131 games in 2021 when the team lost 110. The beatings through the rebuild left marks on anyone who got close to it. With that in mind, and it’s fresh, the attention given to a four-game losing streak prior to last night seemed almost comical. This is wha

SAN DIEGO – There was underlying tension ahead of this second game between the Nationals and Padres. After Jurickson Profar took exception to two inside pitches that weren’t really close to hitting him then walked off the Nats and directed his celebration toward the visiting dugout last night, some members of the Nationals bench waited around to se

Jordan Westburg’s line drive at 110.5 mph reached the left field corner in the third inning. Gunnar Henderson, who walked with one out, raced around the bases and dived across the plate to break the tie. The Orioles had their fourth run to match their total over the previous three games. The bats were back. They just needed the pitching to hold up.

SAN DIEGO – While the Nationals prepared for their second game against the Padres here in San Diego, they were also keeping an eye on a minor league game in Rochester, N.Y. Josiah Gray made his fourth rehab start with Triple-A Rochester while nearing the end of his comeback from a right elbow/forearm flexor strain. And he had excellent results. The

The Orioles have lost four in a row and been outscored 30-15 during the season's longest losing streak. Cleveland has won six in a row and outscored their opponents 36-14 during their win streak. After losing their homestand opener 3-2 to Cleveland last night, the O's could use a win tonight, which would end both streaks. Cleveland's win streak is

SAN DIEGO – “It sucks we didn't get a win. But we just got to keep our heads up and come back tomorrow.” That was Keibert Ruiz after last night’s brutal 7-6 loss in 10 innings to the Padres after the Nationals had a three-run lead going into the bottom of the 10th. Let’s see how the Nats respond tonight in the second game of this three-game set. Ma

The Orioles announced today that they signed first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper to a minor league contract. He’ll report to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. Cooper, 33, appeared in a combined 36 games with the Cubs and Red Sox and batted .206/.267/.299 with five doubles, one triple, one home run and 11 RBIs. He’s played for five teams in the maj

The Orioles have made the following roster move: Agreed to terms on a 2024 Minor League contract with INF/OF Garrett Cooper.

SAN DIEGO – It looked like it could have been the beginning of the end for Patrick Corbin in the Nationals rotation on June 5. The veteran left-hander, now one of only two active players remaining from the 2019 World Series championship roster and in the last season of his six-year, $140 million contract that has kept him has the highest paid playe
