Wrapping up a 7-0 loss
Wrapping up a 7-0 loss

Orioles
Tyler Wilson was cruising along tonight in his third start of the season. One hit allowed through five innings, and it came from the first batter of the game. Fifteen of 17 retired, no runs allowed. Wilson needed only seven pitches to make it through the fifth inning. He threw 27 in the sixth and committed an error while falling behind 3-0. A game turned dramatically and a loss resulted from it. The Yankees tacked on four runs in the eighth - three charged to T.J. McFarland and one to Dylan...

The New York Yankees finally got to Tyler Wilson and later added on. The Orioles never could get to left-hander CC Sabathia. The Yankees (9-16) scored three runs in the sixth off Wilson and went on to beat the Orioles 7-0 tonight at chilly Camden Yards to snap their six-game losing streak. The Orioles fall to 15-11 as their six-game winning streak over the Yankees ends. Wilson began the sixth in a scoreless game at 69 pitches after he needed just seven pitches in a 1-2-3 fifth. But New York...

CHICAGO - This has turned into quite some road trip, hasn't it? First the Nationals swept the Cardinals in St. Louis, despite Bryce Harper going 0-for-11. Then they nearly swept the Royals in Kansas City, missing out on that only by one Jonathan Papelbon blown save. Now the toughest road trip of the season reaches its final (and toughest) leg. The Nats will face the blistering-hot Cubs each of the next four days, a battle of the National League's two best teams to date. Yes, it's only May,...

Which do you prefer: attending an Orioles game during the day or at night? They both have their pluses. Baseball was intended to be played under the sun, but few experiences beat watching the game under the lights. Day or night, you'll be able to catch a full moon of sorts at Camden Yards thoughout the season. That's right, the MASN booth, hosted by Full Moon Marketing & Events, is back on Eutaw Street for select Orioles home games. And each time they're here, you'll have the chance to...

Mel Antonen
Nationals
The Nationals' new second baseman is on a hitting rampage. He's hit in 23 of 26 Nationals games. He has 13 multi-hit games, has RBIs in six consecutive games and in Kansas City, he became the 10th player to get his 1,000th career hit wearing a Nationals uniform. Here are things to know about Murphy: * Murphy, a left-handed batter, hit a career-high 14 home runs for the Mets last season, eight in the final two months, four each in August and September. Mets batting coach Kevin Long worked with...

After 13-run explosion, Nationals lineup rounding into form

KANSAS CITY - Nobody would suggest the Nationals lineup has functioned as one complete, perfectly in-sync unit at any point yet in this young season. At least one key hitter has been mired in a slump on any given day. And leadoff man Ben Revere has been out since his first at-bat of the season, only now on the verge of rejoining the team from the disabled list. Yet the Nats have had more than their share of days like this, days when they score runs in bunches and coast to victory, as they did...

The Yankees took batting practice today in a light rain at Camden Yards. Because the baseball gods have a wicked sense of humor. Orioles manager Buck Showalter already has a lineup in mind for Thursday's series finale, but he's always prepared to make changes. He'd never post it early. There are too many variables. "I try to stay one in advance to help you deal with tonight," he said. Manny Machado figures to make most or all of the starts at shortstop as long as the Orioles keep a...

At one time, Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia was a dominant pitcher against the Orioles - and a few other teams. But in recent years, the Orioles have had a lot of success when facing Sabathia. The 35-year-old lefty owns an 18-7 career record and ERA of 3.45 when pitching versus the Orioles. But since 2012, he is just 2-7 with an ERA of 5.06 over 11 starts against them. Since May 20, 2013, he has won just one of his last seven starts versus the Orioles. Sabathia will try to pitch the Yankees...
