Adam Jones is missing from the Orioles lineup tonight, with Craig Gentry starting in center field and batting ninth. Gentry is starting for the first time since May 12 in Kansas City. Jonathan Schoop moves up to third in the order. Welington Castillo is behind the plate after sitting out last night's game with a sore right shoulder. Trey Mancini is batting .357 (25-for-70) this month. He's batting .330 (36-for-109) against right-handers this season. Mancini is batting .340 (34-for-100) in 28...

The North All-Stars defeated the South All-Stars 2-0 at the Carolina League All-Star Game Tuesday in Salem, Va. MVP third baseman Michael Chavis delivered a two-run double in the first inning to account for all the scoring. Catcher Taylor Gushue went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and one man left on base. But Gushue made a huge defensive play when he caught left fielder Straw attempting to steal in he opening frame. Left fielder Victor Robles also went 0-for-2 batting in the No. 7 hole. Third...

Sometimes when a teenager meets Major League Baseball players, he can learn a lot from them. Sometimes, it can happen the other way. On Wednesday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the Orioles learned a lot about an inspiring young man. He is 14-year-old Luke Terry. An eighth-grade catcher from Cornersville, Tenn., Terry had his right arm amputated as an infant. Through perseverance and hard work, he overcame physical challenges on the field and inspired supporters from around the world with his...

While the Orioles continue to evaluate shortstop Rubén Tejada, they're also learning more about Trey Mancini as a first baseman. They already know how easily he adapts to the outfield. Mancini is getting regular starts at his natural position while Chris Davis is on the disabled list with a strained oblique. He corralled a ground ball last night from Carlos Santana near the line and flipped to Kevin Gausman to end the fourth inning and strand two runners in a scoreless game. A dropped pop...

Q: Is the American League East going to be a five-team race all season? A: Yes and that's because every team has virtually the same flaw. The Red Sox have an offense that doesn't need home runs - they've scored seven runs in a game six times without a home run - and a strong bullpen, but pitchers Rick Porcello and David Price still have to be consistent. ... The Yankees have the second-best run production in the AL, but CC Sabathia is on the disabled list and Masahiro Tanaka is a mess, so...

After giving up 16 runs over his previous three starts, it got better for Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman tonight. But the Orioles offense had no answers for Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco, who got a huge assist from former O's lefty Andrew Miller. The Orioles fell 5-1 to the Indians at Oriole Park as the Birds lost for the 10th time in 14 games. The American League Central-leading Indians have won seven of its past eight games and leads this series two wins to one. The Orioles were...

Kevin Gausman was striking out batters and putting up zeros tonight, the fog lifting from him on a night that another game was delayed at the start by rain. The only storm clouds that returned were the kind that come with scattered runs. The tarp was rolled. Gausman was rolling. And then the Indians got to him in the fifth. Gausman struck out the first batter and allowed four straight hits, including Roberto Pérez's RBI double to break a scoreless tie and Francisco Lindor's two-run homer...

MIAMI - It began nearly three weeks ago in Oakland, with Bryce Harper serving his suspension, Jayson Werth and Koda Glover healthy, the Nationals coming off a sweep in San Francisco and the NBA Finals just getting underway next door. It finally ended yesterday afternoon in Miami, with Max Scherzer losing a no-hitter (and the game) in the bottom of the eighth, Anthony Rendon returning to the lineup after suffering a neck stinger and Ryan Raburn (who wasn't even on the roster at the beginning of...

After splitting the first two games of a four-game series, the Orioles host the Cleveland Indians tonight in Game 3 at Oriole Park. Right-hander Kevin Gausman (3-6, 6.60 ERA) faces right-hander Carlos Carrasco (7-3, 3.21 ERA). The start of tonight's game is being delayed by rain. Gausman keeps working to turn around his season but just has not been able to do it. In three June starts, he is 0-2 with a 9.19 ERA and .391 batting average against. In his last start on Friday versus St. Louis, he...

Dark clouds rolled into Camden Yards, the tarp is on the field and the start of tonight's game will be delayed. The grounds crew got the infield ready before covering it. This will be the 10th delay endured by the Orioles this season, including a postponement in D.C. Eight of them have occurred at Camden Yards. Chris Tillman is listed as Sunday's starter against the Rays at Tropicana Field, just as manager Buck Showalter stated following last night's game. Tillman remains in the rotation...
