ST. LOUIS – The Nationals couldn’t have asked for a better start to their homestand. And then they couldn’t have asked for a worse conclusion. They swept the Reds, then they were swept by the Padres, including Dylan Cease’s no-hitter Thursday afternoon. All that just to finish 3-3 for the week. It’s a new day, though, and the Nats are back on the r

The Orioles are playing a home game tonight for the first time since the dramatic walk-off win against the Yankees on July 14. They’re 30-22 at Camden Yards and 31-19 on the road. The Padres are making their first visit since 2019, which again brings Manny Machado back to Baltimore. They won both games. Only the Giants have gone longer without retu

With all the speculation that the O’s might be trading some prospects at the trade deadline and amid recent reports via ESPN that the club might be willing to deal Ryan Mountcastle and Cedric Mullins, it was another long-time O's player leaving the club. Austin Hays, a veteran of 557 games over parts of seven seasons with the Orioles, was dealt to

The Orioles made a significant change to their outfield, surrendering one of their longest tenured players, and fortified the bullpen earlier today by consummating their first trade approaching Tuesday’s deadline. Austin Hays was dealt to the Phillies for reliever Seranthony Domínguez and outfielder Cristian Pache. Minor league pitcher Levi Stoudt

The Orioles today announced that they have acquired right-handed pitcher SERANTHONY DOMÍNGUEZ and outfielder CRISTIAN PACHE from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for outfielder AUSTIN HAYS. Domínguez, 29, is 3-2 with one save and a 4.75 ERA (19 ER/36.0 IP), with 32 hits (6 HR), 22 total runs allowed, 12 walks, two hit batters, and 40 strikeout

MIAMI – When a family member texted him with news that O's infielder Jorge Mateo had left a game injured, it was news to Connor Norby. He had not heard anything to that point. Soon he found out much more and that he was headed to Miami for his second stint in the majors with the Orioles. Not happy how it happened but ready to show he can play at th

Sir Jamison Jones walked into the Nationals clubhouse yesterday like many draft picks before him. While still very young in the face, his 6-foot-2, 225-pound frame looked like it already belonged in a major league clubhouse. While standing next to the 5-foot-11, 197-pound Luke Dickerson, the Nats’ second-round pick who also officially signed yester

The first road trip of the second half produced a 3-3 record for the Orioles, who fumbled a three-run lead in the ninth yesterday and won 7-6 in the 10th. They lead the Yankees by two games in the American League East during a stretch when they could have plummeted down the standings. Maybe it isn’t the best division in baseball anymore. Corbin Bur

After never happening in the team’s 18-year existence since relocating to Washington, D.C., in 2005, the Nationals have now been no-hit twice in less than a calendar year. Two weeks from the one-year anniversary of Michael Lorenzen’s no-hitter against the Nats at Citizens Bank Park, Dylan Cease repeated the feat for the Padres in a 3-0 win in front
