The schedule delivers another day game after a night game. And maybe another round of Samuel Basallo stories. Just playing the odds here. Basallo has been the center of attention for his major league promotion, early RBI binge, agreement on the most lucrative contract extension for a pre-arbitration catcher and yesterday’s press conference to talk

The Orioles bailed out Dean Kremer tonight, which was the first order of business. Battle back twice to tie. Conclude his frustrating night with no decision. Try to win a game in the series and go for the split on Sunday. They couldn’t complete the mission. Christian Walker hit a two-run homer off left-hander Dietrich Enns in the seventh inning and

PHILADELPHIA – They gave themselves another chance at another dramatic rally inside a sold-out Citizens Bank Park, in spite of the large hole Mitchell Parker dug for his teammates. The Nationals chipped away at the big deficit, got themselves to within two runs and had a chance to tie the game (or even take the lead) late against the Phillies' bull

The support that teammates showed for young Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo earlier today at his news conference didn’t surprise interim manager Tony Mansolino. He knew that players would arrive early at the ballpark and fill out rows of seats. He knew that the camaraderie would be on display again. The media just happened to be there. “I think exte

PHILADELPHIA – Add another name to the list of Nationals position players getting a crash course at first base: Luis García Jr. García has been taking grounders and scooping short-hop throws at first base in recent days, learning the nuances of the position from interim manager Miguel Cairo. He’s not ready to appear there in a game yet, but he’s ad

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said there’s “a good chance” that Kyle Bradish starts Tuesday night against the Red Sox at Camden Yards. Bradish hasn’t pitched for the Orioles since June 14, 2024, before undergoing Tommy John surgery. He’s completed an injury rehab assignment. “Still working through that,” Mansolino said of his pitching plan

One by one they began to file into the auxiliary clubhouse that serves as a formal interview room at Camden Yards. Orioles employees, coaches, interim manager Tony Mansolino and a large contingent of players. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias sat next to control owner David Rubenstein. At the other end of the table was Koby Pérez,

PHILADELPHIA – One of the Nationals’ best wins of the season was made possible by Dylan Crews and Daylen Lile’s offensive and baserunning exploits in the top of the ninth, not to mention by PJ Poulin’s two perfect innings of relief to close out an unexpected, 5-4 victory. But none of that would have been possible if not for Cade Cavalli’s quality s

PHILADELPHIA – PJ Poulin wasn’t part of the Tigers’ trade package for Kyle Finnegan, but he might as well have been. When Detroit acquired Finnegan from the Nationals at the trade deadline for minor leaguers Josh Randall and R.J. Sales, another transaction was necessary to clear a 40-man spot for the veteran reliever. The odd man out wound up being

Samuel Basallo has been a major leaguer for less than a week and he’s on a record pace. Basallo was the first player signed and developed by the Orioles’ new international program to reach the majors. He became only the second player to record an RBI in his first three games and to collect five over that same period. And most stunning, of course, i
