DETROIT - Looking for wins and now two games back in the American League East race, the Orioles play at Comerica Park tonight. They open a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers, Major League Baseball's winningest club since Aug. 11. The O's lineup tonight shows Gunnar Henderson leading off, Cedric Mullins batting third and Adley Rutschman hi

Thursday was not a good night for the Nationals, who did so many things wrong during the course of a 6-3 loss to the Marlins that really should have been a win based on the way the game began and based on the way Mitchell Parker pitched. But it’s a new day, so they’ll try to bounce back tonight and win game two of the four-game series, with another

It’s too late for Keibert Ruiz’s season totals to become respectable. The Nationals catcher dug himself into such a deep hole in April and May, he simply wasn’t going to be able to climb all the way back and finish with offensive numbers that look decent on the back of his baseball card. But anyone who has watched Ruiz over the entirety of the seas

The Orioles will wrap up their next-to-last road trip of the season this weekend when they play three games in Detroit at Comerica Park. The Orioles have not played the Tigers all year and now they will see them in back-to-back weekends and in six of their next nine games. While the Orioles have struggled lately going 1-2 at Boston to start this tr

The Orioles had an off-day in Detroit yesterday because Passaic, New Jersey was booked. OK, let’s get serious. The penultimate road trip of the season is close to a wrap – I’ll be on the next one - and the Orioles are two games behind the Yankees. They have three against the Tigers beginning tonight and three more next weekend at Camden Yards after

A Nationals club that has owned the Marlins this season looked ready to keep that trend going tonight when it stormed out to a quick three-run lead against an unheralded opposing starter while watching its own starter cruise along for six innings barely breaking a sweat along the way. It’s not quite that simple to win ballgames in the major leagues

Jose A. Ferrer had already faced the minimum three batters required of him in the top of the eighth Wednesday night. And now, with two on and Marcell Ozuna stepping to the plate representing the tying run, no one would’ve batted an eyelash had Davey Martinez summoned a right-hander from his bullpen in place of Ferrer. Martinez instead decided to st

The Nationals spent the last two nights facing a Braves team desperate for every win it can get as it tries to beat out the Mets for the final wild card berth in the National League. For the next four nights, they’ll face a Marlins team with absolutely nothing to play for. So, the intensity level may be ramped down a bit here over the weekend. The

The ball went soaring to center field, clearing the wall with plenty of room to spare, bouncing off the concrete floor out there and up against the bullpen cart that resides some 420 feet away from the plate at Nationals Park. “Yeah, I got that one pretty good,” CJ Abrams said with a grin. Abrams’ fourth-inning home run Wednesday night was signific

ABERDEEN, Md. – Selected by the Orioles in the fifth-round of the 2024 MLB Draft, catcher Ryan Stafford out of Cal-Poly, quickly found out that defensive versatility is important to his new organization.  If a player can play multiple positions and move around the diamond, the Orioles will have them do it on the farm. “One thing for me that I was r
