BALTIMORE – In their season-long search for more offensive punch, the Nationals tonight found plenty of it from one key piece of their long-term plan and one unexpected new piece of the puzzle who might just play his way into the long-term plan if he keeps this up. Behind the second four-hit night of James Wood’s young career and a record-setting t

The home clubhouse at Camden Yards had new lockers for four players who joined the Orioles on the road trip. Among them was left-hander Trevor Rogers, who made his first career start tonight in Baltimore. Anthony Santander was in his usual spot in the back row and on the field. He’s become a constant. And now he’s a record holder. Santander tied th

The Orioles lost to the Rays on Sunday 2-1 as they failed to complete a three-game sweep, which would have been their sixth series sweep of the year. Now the Orioles go from playing an American League East team – and they have had a lot of success within their division this year – to playing a National League East team. And they have a losing recor

BALTIMORE – As this season transitions from one of early dreams of a surprise run to one that’s still primarily focused on the future, the Nationals decided to make a pair of transactions today that will give them a chance to look at two more young players at the expense of veterans. The Nats promoted first baseman Andrés Chaparro and reliever Orla

The off-day enabled the Orioles to freshen their bullpen heading into the Nationals series after left-hander Cionel Pérez worked back-to-back games at Tropicana Field following an earlier stretch in the month of four appearances in five days.

Coby Mayo is out of the Orioles lineup for tonight’s series opener against the Nationals at Camden Yards. Ramón Urías gets the start at third base. Ryan O’Hearn is serving as the designated hitter. Colton Cowser is in left field, Cedric Mullins is in center and Anthony Santander is in right. Left-hander Trevor Rogers is making his third start with

BALTIMORE – Hello from Camden Yards, where the Battle of the Beltways wraps up over the next two nights. The two teams split their two-game series in D.C. back in May, so it’s anybody’s game here this week. The Nationals are still looking for consistency from their rotation, and that includes Jake Irvin, who gets the ball tonight. The right-hander

James Wood and Jackson Holliday have been dueling all season. Not on the diamond, but in rankings as two of the top prospects in baseball. In whatever order you put them in as two of the best young players in the sport, Wood and Holliday take center stage as they face off on a major league field over the next two nights for the first time in their

I don’t know if O’s outfielder Colton Cowser enjoys riding roller coasters, but his 2024 season has been like a ride on a coaster. A few big ups and downs. When you add the ups and downs together, he has played in 111 games for the club this year batting .250/.328/.460/.788 with 17 doubles, a triple, 18 homers and 54 RBIs. Cowser leads all MLB rook
