OAKLAND – Former Orioles manager Buck Showalter used to warn that he didn’t want to hear about a problem unless you had a solution. The first part is easy. Don’t point it out and offer nothing more than the obvious. The bullpen over the course of the entire 2024 season hasn’t qualified as a major issue, but losing left-hander Danny Coulombe increas

OAKLAND – The Orioles’ two All-Star starters made the first two outs today, with Gunnar Henderson grounding out and Adley Rutschman flying out. Anthony Santander followed with a home run. Ryan O’Hearn and Jordan Westburg singled, and they scored on Heston Kjerstad’s three-run shot. A day after surrendering 19 runs in a blowout loss, the Orioles pou

One of the key young faces of the Nationals’ rebuild is going to represent the organization at the All-Star Game for the first time. CJ Abrams, who has blossomed into one of the sport’s best shortstops over the last calendar year, was selected as the Nats’ lone All-Star representative this afternoon, an appropriate honor for the 23-year-old acquire

OAKLAND – The Orioles found out today that only one other player from the club that’s tied for the best record in the American League has been chosen for the All-Star Game. If anyone else goes to Arlington, Texas, it will be as a late substitute. Corbin Burnes made his fourth All-Star team in a row after going 9-3 with a 2.32 ERA, 1.021 WHIP and 14

A stretch of 17 games in 17 days in blistering early July heat has long loomed on the Nationals’ schedule. This was going to be a test not only of this growing team’s ability to compete with opponents in the pennant race, but also of this team’s physical and mental fortitude. All of that is being put to the test right now, and though the Nats have

In the final game of a three-game series and six-game road trip, the Orioles (56-33) play at Oakland (34-57) today. The O's won the series-opener 3-2 Friday and lost 19-8 on Saturday.  That game produced season-highs or really lows for the Orioles. * It was the most runs they have allowed this season, topping the 14 from June 21 at Houston. * It is

OAKLAND – The Orioles will try to win the series this afternoon while they also complete their West Coast trip, saying goodbye to the Oakland Coliseum for the last time. They also want to avoid a second series loss to the Athletics this season. Heston Kjerstad is in left field and Cedric Mullins is in center. Colton Cowser is on the bench. Ryan O’H

One day after making a change at third base in the major leagues, the Nationals made a change at third base in the minors, promoting Brady House to Triple-A Rochester and perhaps indicating the 2021 first-round pick has a chance to reach D.C. by season’s end. House, the 21-year-old slugger from Georgia, earned this promotion after hitting 13 homers

Saturday was a good day for the Nationals, who fielded their youngest lineup in years and scored 14 runs thanks to homers by James Wood, CJ Abrams and Keibert Ruiz. Now, can they keep something like that up? Too often this season we’ve seen an offensive explosion followed up by a lifeless showing at the plate. The challenge today: Don’t let up. As

BOWIE, Md. – You won’t find his name on those top 30 prospect lists. He doesn’t throw a blazing fastball. He played college ball at the Div. 1 level and was not a high draft pick.  But what Bowie bullpen right-hander Dylan Heid does have is very impressive stats and a very unique pitch he throws on rare occasions, a pitch not seen much anymore in p
