The Orioles snapped a five-game losing streak last night with a 4-1 victory in Anaheim and will try tonight to win back-to-back for only the third time. Jackson Holliday moves atop the order for the second time in his career. Cedric Mullins is lowered to sixth. Mullins went 0-for-5 last night and is in a 1-for-30 slump. He’s hitless in his last 15

The Nationals needed improvements all across the board to snap their three-game losing streak. Following last night’s 10-0 blowout loss to the Cardinals in the series opener, they needed better pitching and better offense. Unfortunately, they got neither in their fourth straight loss, this one by a score of 4-2 with frustration mounting on an other

After last night’s postgame roster move of releasing right-hander Lucas Sims, the Nationals have found a replacement in their bullpen. Zach Brzykcy was recalled this afternoon from Triple-A Rochester for an extended stay in the Nats ‘pen after serving as the 27th man for Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Guardians. “Great. Obviously, it's good to

The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Zach Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday and requested unconditional release waivers on right-handed pitcher Lucas Sims on Friday night. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Brzykcy, 25, pitched to a 2.35 ERA (2 ER/7.2 IP) with

The Nationals would like nothing more than to shake off Friday night’s blowout loss to the Cardinals with a lopsided victory of their own this afternoon. Where do they begin? Let’s start on the mound. After Mitchell Parker’s rough outing, Trevor Williams makes his eighth start of the season. The right-hander is 2-3 with a 5.86 ERA and 1.613 WHIP on

Three-and-a-half weeks later, Paul DeJong’s face still doesn’t look completely normal. His nose is pushed toward the right. The area around his left eye is still slightly swollen. The scars from the surgery he underwent to repair the broken nose, the broken orbital bone and broken orbital floor are still visible. Baseball is still months away, in a

Outfielder Tyler O’Neill was reinstated from the injured list yesterday and Zach Eflin should follow on Sunday to start the final game of the road trip. Reliever Andrew Kittredge made his second rehab appearance on Thursday. Infielder Ramón Urías is trending toward a return perhaps by Tuesday or Wednesday after the latest break in the schedule. Una

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Entering tonight’s game against the Angels, the Orioles had gone 16 consecutive games without scoring a first-inning run.  That changed on a 1-0 count to Gunnar Henderson.  Kyle Hendricks, better known for his days with the Cubs, threw a changeup that caught too much of the plate, and Henderson drove it 400 feet to right field. An

On the heels of back-to-back starts that seemingly were lost in the opening frame, Mitchell Parker took the mound tonight desperate to reverse the trend. “That first inning is going to be key,” manager Davey Martinez said roughly three hours before first pitch. “We talked a lot this week about not overthinking things, just sticking to his mechanics

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Zach Eflin’s return to the big league mound has been grabbing most headlines. For a rotation in search of stability, the veteran right-hander provides just that.  The rotation, however, hasn’t been the main culprit of the Orioles’ recent woes. That has been Baltimore’s lineup, which has plated more than three runs in just one of t
