In this matchup, Orioles right-hander Corbin Burnes was the pitcher with the much longer and better resume. But tonight, Yankees 25-year-old right-hander Luis Gil gave his team a chance to split this four-game series in Baltimore. After losing here Monday and Tuesday, Gil, in his 13th major league start, shut down the Orioles over 6 1/3 scoreless i

ARLINGTON, Texas – One month into the season, the hierarchy of the Nationals bullpen is pretty clear. Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey are at the top of the list. Tanner Rainey is at the bottom. That’s not how Davey Martinez hoped things would go. The Nats manager wanted to believe Rainey would recapture the late-inning role he held before tearing h

After two pitching-led wins in this series against the Yankees, the Orioles (19-10) hope for more good work on the mound tonight when they send out ace right-hander Corbin Burnes (3-0, 2.55 ERA) for his seventh start. The Orioles have posted 2-0 and 4-2 wins to take the first two games from the Yankees, moving from one game behind New York to one g

The clarity that must come to the Orioles’ rotation plans weren’t evident this afternoon. Manager Brandon Hyde confirmed the obvious intention of starting John Means, who was reinstated today from the 15-day injured list. However, he isn’t ready to announce who’s on the mound Thursday afternoon or this weekend in Cincinnati. “We have some roster mo

A lot can change in a span of a few days for bullpen pitchers. It has for the Orioles bullpen. Heading into the Yankees series, the O’s ‘pen was coming off a weekend with two blown leads in the ninth. And that ‘pen had been scored on in 13 of the previous 16 games, pitching to an ERA of 5.37 in that span. Then Cionel Pérez, Yennier Cano and Danny C

ARLINGTON, Texas – The opener of this interleague series was one to forget. The Nationals had only three baserunners (all via single, two of them never leaving the infield). MacKenzie Gore pitched well, but then the bullpen turned it into a rout by night’s end. A bad day all around. The Nats will try to shrug that off and get back on track (and get

Heston Kjerstad is starting in right field and batting eighth tonight, his second time in the lineup since the Orioles recalled him. Colton Cowser moves up to fifth. Ramón Urías is starting at third base. Ryan O’Hearn is the designated hitter. Anthony Santander begins the game on the bench. Santander’s nine doubles are tied for first in the America

The Orioles reinstated John Means from the 15-day injured list this afternoon. How they made room for him wasn’t among the speculated moves. Grayson Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to yesterday. Rodriguez rebounded Monday from a rough start by shutting out the Yankees over 5 2/3 innings. He threw

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Reinstated LHP John Means from the 15-day Injured List (left forearm strain).Placed RHP Grayson Rodriguez on the 15-day Injured List (right shoulder inflammation), retroactive to April 30.

The Orioles have gotten plenty of attention for their homer prowess. They began play last night leading the majors in homers and in homers per game. They had hit at least one homer in 21 of their 28 games and went 15-6 in those. But in this series with the New York Yankees, the Baltimore pitching has led the way to wins by 2-0 and 4-2. The O’s staf
