Nolan Reimold returns to the Orioles' lineup tonight as their leadoff hitter and designated hitter. Steve Pearce is in left field and Gerardo Parra is in right.

This season certainly hasn't turned out like the Nationals wanted. Outfielder Jayson Werth said as much after hitting two homers, including a grand slam, in an 8-7 11-inning win Monday. The team will look different with a lot of the free agents currently on the roster not returning in 2016. But two important players - arguably the most important pieces - will be there next season. Both displayed their value in Tuesday's 4-0 shutout of the Phillies. Outfielder Bryce Harper clubbed two homers...

Many people are simply accepting the presumption that the Orioles aren't going to make the postseason in 2015. At this point, you have no choice but to admit that the season is certainly trending that way. However, one thing I try to convey in my columns each day is that until the team is mathematically eliminated, there's still hope. People try to tell me that I'm naive for not accepting reality. Maybe it comes off as cliché to consistently say that the team still has a chance. But I see...

Coming into Tuesday evening's game against the Red Sox, the Orioles had eight walk-off victories on the season. Two of them had come a la Chris Davis walk-off homer. The first came exactly a month ago before last evening's game, a huge home run to lift the O's past the A's with a 4-3 victory, giving the Birds their second straight walk-off win. Then, on Sept. 2, the Orioles were battling the Rays in extra innings. In the 11th, Davis worked into a 3-0 count before deposting in the ball...

PHILADELPHIA - Add another file to the what-if folder after right-hander Stephen Strasburg completely handcuffed the Phillies, allowing only one hit while matching his career-high with 14 strikeouts in last night's 4-0 shutout win for the Nationals. The lone hit of the night was a sharp grounder through the hole into right field to start the fifth off the bat of Cody Asche. Strasburg's only other blemish was a walk to Freddy Galvis in the first. "Really good," Nationals manager Matt...

Right-hander Jason Garcia has just about made it through his Rule 5 season. Barring a trade, he and the Orioles know that he will be in the organization next year. There will no Rule 5 restrictions on Garcia next season and he could be optioned to the minors then. "I really like it here," Garcia said. "It's a great organization with a great coaching staff. Even down in the minor leagues, we've got a lot of good players and a lot of good coaches. I'm looking forward to the next couple of...

As the Orioles gathered inside their clubhouse following last night's dramatic 6-5 13-inning win over the Red Sox, they still had sole possession of third place in the American League East and trailed the Astros by 5 1/2 for the second wild card. The heart is still beating. Chris Davis produced the game-winning single, his third walk-off hit of the season. The bullpen allowed one run over eight innings. Manny Machado put on another show at third base, homered and delivered a huge single in the...

The Orioles came up with their ninth walk-off win of the year and fourth against an American League East opponent. Chris Davis' single in the 13th provided the 6-5 win for his third walk-off hit. It ended a four-hour, 20-minute game. Davis' winning hit followed a leadoff walk to Gerardo Parra and a single by Manny Machado. Parra got a great read on Machado's hit to center to make third base and set the stage for Davis. "I was just looking for a pitch out over the plate to get through the...

Chris Davis lined a single past a drawn-in infield to score the winning run tonight in the 13th inning, rounded first base and made a mad dash toward the dugout to avoid another water-bottle shower. The walk-off wins never get old, but he wouldn't mind staying dry. The Orioles, meanwhile, are staying alive. Their 6-5 victory over the Red Sox at Camden Yards gave them six wins in their last seven games. They're two games below .500 for the first time since Aug. 28. The Orioles have won three...
