BOSTON - The first homestand is behind us and it's time to embark on the first road trip, with stops in chilly Boston and steaming Arlington. The latest forecasts calls for a 100 percent chance of rain on Tuesday. There's no escaping it. Grab a comfortable seat today and enjoy the Red Sox's opening day festivities and whatever they have planned for David Ortiz. Tissues are optionable. Hyun Soo Kim isn't, and he won't be in the lineup against left-hander David Price following yesterday's...

This is the Orioles' 63rd season and for just the second time they have a 5-0 start. The 1970 and 2016 Orioles are the only teams in club history to do that. The current O's are the only unbeaten team in the majors and lead the American League East by two games heading into today's series opener in Boston. While several hitters have gotten off to good starts, it's the pitching staff posting an ERA of 1.80 and the starting rotation with an ERA of 2.28 that has been the most impressive. Manny...

The giant scoreboard in right-center showed it for all the world to see, but Jayson Werth didn't need it spelled out in print. As he stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh this afternoon, the bases loaded with teammates, Werth knew his batting average contained nothing but zeroes. "I'm aware," the veteran outfielder said with a smirk an hour later in the Nationals clubhouse. The Marlins were aware, too, which is why they didn't hesitate to intentionally walk Daniel Murphy in...

The top hitter from last season opens the game with a first-pitch triple against a young pitcher making his first ever April regular season start. That same pitcher allowed 12 hits and eight runs in his final exhibition start. It was the extremely dangerous Miami leadoff hitter Dee Gordon tripling on the first pitch of the game. The Marlins scored in that inning, but never again against right-hander Joe Ross, a full seven innings of work. The Nationals kept it close before a big seventh inning...

Outfielder Hyun Soo Kim made his major league debut today in the Orioles' 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He went 2-for-3 with a pair of infield hits as he became the first Korean-born player in Orioles history. After hearing a few boos on opening day, Kim heard what sounded like almost all cheers today as he batted for the first time and singled and scored in the second inning. "Going back to opening day, there was a slight booing for me," Kim said through interpreter Danny Lee. "So that...

Darren O'Day battled, Zach Britton breezed and the Orioles matched the best start in club history. O'Day struck out Hank Conger today on his 33rd pitch to escape a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning and Britton retired the Rays in order to record his second save in a 5-3 win at Camden Yards. The Orioles matched their best start at 5-0. Move over 1970 team. And try not to block the World Series trophy. Hyun Soo Kim made his major league debut and went 2-for-3 with two infield singles. He...

Score early and hold them off late. Get some help from Manny Machado. The Orioles used that formula this afternoon to post a 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at cold Camden Yards, completing an unbeaten homestand. They sweep the rain-shortened two-game series and have the second 5-0 start in team history. The world champion 1970 Orioles also began the year 5-0. With the help of four hits, including a longball, the Orioles took a 4-0 lead on Rays starter Jake Odorizzi in the last of the second....

The Nationals are giving themselves plenty of chances to score runs. They just aren't converting on many of those chances so far. Despite racking up five hits and two walks off Tom Koehler through the first three innings of today's game, the Nats have scored just once, picking up on a theme they established during Thursday's home-opener loss to the Marlins. The saving grace: Miami missed an early opportunity to bust the game open as well. Giancarlo Stanton's one-out single through the left...
