NEW YORK - The Orioles have lost seven consecutive series openers at Yankee Stadium dating back to April 12, 2013. Why didn't somebody warn us? The club will make its second consecutive roster move today when it activates Ryan Flaherty from the disabled list. The Orioles are expected to option infielder Rey Navarro to Triple-A Norfolk. Navarro would have been sent down yesterday if Everth Cabrera had avoided the disabled list. Navarro is batting .316 (6-for-19), but he hasn't started since...

NEW YORK - The Orioles lost their third game in a row tonight, 4-3 to the Yankees, leaving them winless on their swing through New York. Chris Tillman allowed four runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings to leave his ERA at 6.25 in 31 2/3 innings. "It's just frustating for him," manager Buck Showalter said. "After we scored runs, we gave runs right back, and that's where you'd like to get some shutdown innings. And Chris will. He's getting there. He had five days off again. I think once we get...

NEW YORK - Chris Tillman almost served up Alex Rodriguez's 661st home run tonight in the bottom of the first inning, but Delmon Young made a leaping catch at the right field fence and turned it into a sacrifice fly. Young couldn't save Tillman in the third. Rodriguez deposited an 83 mph changeup over the center field fence to break a 2-2 tie and move himself past Willie Mays for fourth place on baseball's all-time list. Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez and Willie Mays. How...

NEW YORK - The Orioles have placed infielder Everth Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left foot and activated shortstop J.J. Hardy. Cabrera fouled a ball off his foot in the fifth inning last night at Citi Field, but he stayed in the game. Infielder Rey Navarro would have been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk if Cabrera avoided the DL. Instead, he could be removed from the 25-man roster on Friday when infielder Ryan Flaherty is activated. Navarro could serve as the backup shortstop...

Nationals
Sure, we're only a month into the season, but we have already been treated to some amazing Nationals baseball moments. For instance, Max Scherzer. The Nats' new pitcher has dominated in his first April in a Nationals uniform. Or look at Bryce Harper. On Wednesday, he hit three home runs in one game, including one that landed in the upper deck. He's on fire. Nats fans are treated to his play almost every day. But does he deserve to shine on a national stage? Well, that's your decision to...

After going 13-6 against the New York Yankess last year - and winning the season series for the first time since 1997 - the Orioles took two of three when the teams met for the first time this year. The Orioles are 6-0-1 in their last seven series against New York since losing three of four Sept. 9-12, 2013. Adam Jones is 5-for-11 with two homers and four RBIs against the Yankees in 2015. Delmon Young is 4-for-6 with an RBI, while Caleb Joseph went 7-for-11 with a triple and two RBIs in that...

NEW YORK - To create room for shortstop J.J. Hardy tonight on the 25-man roster, the Orioles will option Rey Navarro or place Everth Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list. Cabrera was hit on the left foot last night by a pitch from Mets starter Jacob deGrom in the top of the fifth inning. Cabrera stayed in the game and had a few mishaps on the basepaths later in the frame. Cabrera will have the foot X-rayed this afternoon. He's in an 0-for-17 slump, lowering his average to .205. Navarro came off...

NEW YORK - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy said three games at Double-A Bowie were enough to get him back into a major league lineup for the first time this season. He's tired of waiting. Hardy is coming off the disabled list this afternoon. The Orioles haven't announced a corresponding move and the lineup card includes one extra player. Hardy is batting seventh in his 2015 debut after going 4-for-12 with a double and RBI at Bowie. He arrived in New York today with infielder Ryan Flaherty, who...
