The Orioles (2-0), who had 10 series sweeps in the 2023 season, look for their first of the new season when they host the Angels (0-2) at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. It's the wrap-up game of a season-opening six-game homestand that continues Monday night when Kansas City visits the Yard. The O's beat the Angels 11-3 Thursday and 13-4 last night. T

CINCINNATI – The Nationals didn’t do a lot of things well in Thursday’s season-opening loss to the Reds, but high on the list was their lack of patience at the plate, leading to zero walks during the 8-2 loss. They flipped the script Saturday, taking advantage of Hunter Greene’s wildness to draw four walks off the Cincinnati starter, then another t

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Recalled RHP Jonathan Heasley from Triple-A Norfolk.Placed LHP Cionel Pérez on the 15-day Injured List with a right oblique strain.

The Orioles go for the sweep this afternoon with Jordan Westburg in his third starting role in three games. Westburg is playing third base after serving as designated hitter and playing second. He also moved over to shortstop last night in the ninth inning. Ramón Urías goes to the bench today, with Jorge Mateo at second base. Adley Rutschman is the

CINCINNATI – It was quite pleasant here on Opening Day. It was unseasonably warm and windy Saturday. Now it’s cold and rainy for today’s series finale at Great American Ball Park. Gotta love Midwest weather. No matter the conditions, the Nationals are feeling hot after their rousing, come-from-behind win less than 24 hours ago. They’ll try to keep

What has been better for the Orioles so far, their starting pitching or their offense? Their starters have allowed two runs in two games with one walk and 20 strikeouts over 12 innings. The offense has produced 24 runs and 24 hits. Flip a coin. The Orioles go for a three-game sweep of the Angels today at Oriole Park after beating them 11-3 in the o

Two games into the 2024 season won’t allow for an Orioles lineup pattern to develop. Much too soon for that. What we did learn yesterday is that Jordan Westburg is projected to play a lot more barring a horrendous slump that would send him to the bench or the minors. Westburg went from designated hitter on Opening Day against left-hander Patrick Sa

CINCINNATI – The Nationals got major contributions from a number of young building blocks this afternoon, whether in the form of Trey Lipscomb’s solid all-around play in his major league debut, CJ Abrams’ three walks and three steals and triple or Keibert Ruiz’s latest clutch homer. But when they needed one last contribution to pull off a rousing,

Corbin Burnes raised the bar to ridiculous heights on Opening Day by retiring 18 of 19 batters and striking out 11, a club record for an Orioles debut. Grayson Rodriguez could have wilted from the challenge this afternoon, questioning his ability to live up to the standard set by Burnes. Instead, he grabbed it with both hands and did chin-ups. Inti

The Orioles (1-0) host the Los Angeles Angels (0-1) today at Oriole Park, looking for their first 2-0 start since they began the 2021 season going 3-0. That year they swept three in a row at Boston to begin the season.  The Orioles took a 5-1 lead in the second inning on Thursday and led 7-1 after the fourth on their way to an 11-3 win in the seaso
