After last night's amazing comeback win over Boston, the Orioles and Red Sox, who each have one win in this series, play their series finale at Camden Yards this afternoon. Last night's win kept the O's from a six-game losing streak. Since July 19, 2011, they are 44-27 versus Boston, including a mark of 20-15 at Camden Yards. This year, the season series is tied at 3-3, and each club has scored 25 runs in the six games. On the mound this afternoon, Bud Norris (0-2, 17.42 ERA) will make his...

The Orioles close out their three-game series with the Red Sox this afternoon by sending Bud Norris to the mound for his fourth start. Norris is 0-2 with a 17.42 ERA in 10 1/3 innings, and his 20 earned runs were tied last night with Milwaukee's Kyle Lohse for the most in the majors. Norris has worked three, five and 2 1/3 innings in his starts. In two games against the Blue Jays, he's allowed 17 runs and 13 hits in 5 1/3 innings. Time to change opponents. Norris is 1-2 with a 3.41 ERA in...

For the Orioles, that was one important win. In baseball, we don't often see teams go on a tear after a big win because the opposing pitcher has something to say about that. So we will see if this game has any carryover effect. But last night's result for the Orioles sure beats seeing a losing streak stretch to six games and falling to four games under .500. They were not four under at any point last year. They would have been this morning, except they scored twice in the last of the 10th to...

MIAMI - When Nationals left hander Gio Gonzalez takes the mound today, he will not only be feeling the pressure of stopping his team's four-game losing streak but also the emotions of pitching in Marlins Park about 20 minutes from where he grew up. "Most of Hialeah is coming out," Gonzalez said. "It's pretty exciting. I'm pretty nervous, just pitching in front of the home crowd is always nice." Hialeah, Fla., is a city just northwest of Miami that has the highest percentage of Cuban and...

It has been an eventful, and at times, strange night in and around Baltimore. With protests going on in the city, the Orioles played a baseball game at home and turned what looked like a devastating loss into a remarkable victory. It was kind of surreal at times, and late in the game, an announcement was made asking fans to stay in the ballpark after the game. Later, fans were told they could leave the ballpark. But most of the 37,359 stayed around long enough to see the O's lose a 3-2 lead in...

The mood in the interview room tonight was about as subdued as you're going to find following a dramatic walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. The Orioles ended their losing streak at five games with a 5-4 victory over the Red Sox, but David Lough's first career walk-off home run wasn't the primary subject. The protests in the city and safety issues that prohibited fans from leaving the ballpark after the top of the ninth were a much bigger part of the story. Manager Buck...

A bitter defeat turned into an amazing victory. Down 4-3, the Orioles scored twice off Boston closer Koji Uehara in the last of the tenth for a remarkable 5-4 victory over the Red Sox to end their five-game losing streak. Adam Jones led off the 10th with a triple to right and scored on a Chris Davis sac fly. Then, David Lough hit a game-winning homer to right to send Camden Yards into a frenzy. It was his first career walk-off homer. It looked like the Orioles let one get away when they blew a...

MIAMI - In the midst of a three-game losing streak, Nationals manager Matt Williams said he felt his team was close to turning things around before today's game against the Marlins. Four hours later, after being blanked 8-0, it appears that gap has widened significantly. "Well, 8-0 is pretty bad," Williams said. "But today was one of those days where there was not much to say, other than they got some big hits (and) we didn't. It's a rough day for us, but we've got to respond. We have to...

Protesters returned to Camden Yards during batting practice and police were forced to close the Gate H entrance into the ballpark. A window was smashed at Dempsey's Brew Pub. This will be a late-arriving crowd tonight with several road closures. The ballpark is about 40 percent full as lineup cards are exchanged at home plate. The Orioles were 9-9 after 18 games last season on their way to a division title and berth in the American League Championship Series. A win tonight would snap a...

The Orioles have won two, lost two and tied one series so far in 2015. They are going to need to win the next two games against Boston to take this series after losing 7-5 Friday night. That result made Boston 6-0 in series-opening games while the Orioles are now 1-5 in such games. The Orioles went 32-21 in series openers in 2014. On the mound tonight, Wei-Yin Chen (0-1, 3.07 ERA) faces right-hander Justin Masterson (2-0, 5.74 ERA). Chen has two starts of 4 1/3 innings and one of six so...
