While some were fretting over the Orioles' slumping offense, did the O's shaky starting pitching rotation start to put some things together? There have been some modest gains. For instance, over the last nine games, the O's rotation ERA is 3.61. In seven of the nine games, the O's starter allowed three earned runs or less. Five times that was two earned runs or less. Four times the starter went seven innings or more. In fact, the last two games, Yovani Gallardo and Chris Tillman each went...

The Orioles are back home tonight for only the fourth time in their last 20 games. They're 33-14 at Camden Yards. A team besieged by illness may have found its tonic. A three-game series with the Indians and Dylan Bundy's first major league start in Baltimore are prime attractions, but let's not forget what's happening in Bowie. Darren O'Day will pitch an inning, most likely the first, to provide more evidence that his right hamstring has healed and he's ready to come off the disabled...

NEW YORK - The Orioles didn't sustain any new injuries today and the flu bug didn't find another victim. Not that they're aware of as they waited to head home following a much-needed 4-1 win over the Yankees. Outfielder Joey Rickard will undergo an X-ray on his right thumb after bending it back last night while running into the right field fence in the first inning. "Rickard ran into the wall last night and really didn't show the extent of it until today," said manager Buck Showalter....

The winning streak is over for Stephen Strasburg. But what might be more impressive is how he did not give up after a rocky first two innings. Justin Turner slammed two homers and had five RBIs as the Dodgers built a 6-1 lead through three innings. Turner connected on 3-2 slider in the first and a 3-0 four-seam fastball in the third against Strasburg, who suffered his first loss since September 9, 2015, as the Dodgers dropped the Nationals 6-3. Manager Dusty Baker pointed towards the pair of...

The Orioles had a few at-bats in their series at New York where the clutch hits didn't come, so Jonathan Schoop's at-bat in the seventh inning today was a nice change. Clinging to a one-run lead over CC Sabathia and the Yankees, the Orioles' second baseman delivered a key two-out, two-run double. It provided the Orioles a three-run lead and they went on to beat the Yankees 4-1 this afternoon. O's right-hander Chris Tillman pitched yet another strong game today and became a 14-game winner....

NEW YORK - Top Orioles prospect Hunter Harvey will undergo ligament-reconstructive surgery on his right elbow on Tuesday, news that had been anticipated but only confirmed this afternoon. Dr. Donald D'Alessandro will perform the UCL reconstruction in Charlotte, N.C. Harvey, 21, left Saturday's start at short-season Single-A Aberdeen after throwing only 23 pitches. The cause was described as soreness in his right flexor mass. Harvey, the 22nd pick in the 2013 draft, has been pitching in the...

Justin Turner crushed a two-run shot off Stephen Strasburg to get the Dodgers on the board 2-0 in the first. The Nationals version of Turner was not to be outdone. Trea Turner and Michael A. Taylor singled to start the bottom of the first. Trea and Taylor pulled off a double steal. The Dodgers disputed the safe call at third, but the call was upheld. One batter later, Bryce Harper launched a sacrifice fly to left. The Dodgers led 2-1. Wilson Ramos' single in the second continued a nine-game...

The Orioles will try to end their road trip on a winning note today. That would allow them to end a four-game losing streak and avoid being swept four in a row at New York for the first time since Sept. 19-22, 2005. The Orioles have gone 3-10 at Yankee Stadium since the start of the 2015 season and are 12-20 there since 2013. The Orioles are 20-26 in road games this season. The Orioles have been outscored 19-4 during their losing streak and 14-2 in the first three games of the series in the...
