Jimmy Paredes said he just tried to stay calm and get a good pitch to hit when he batted with the bases loaded in the 11th inning today. "I didn't feel any pressure in that moment," Parades said. "Just went to home plate to do my job. Tried to put a good swing on the ball." He did that, for sure. His two-run double on the first pitch from Adam Warren turned a possible 1-0 loss into a stunning 2-1 victory over the Yankees at Camden Yards. Paredes sat for most of this game and then came...

It was an unlikely walk-off win to say the least. An out away from wasting their third bases-loaded chance in four innings, pinch-hitter Jimmy Paredes produced a two-run double to right field as the Orioles beat the Yankees 2-1 in 11 innings. The O's loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter against Adam Warren. Down to their last out, Paredes batted for Jonathan Schoop and lined the game-winning hit to right. It was Paredes' first career walk-off hit and the Orioles' ninth walk-off...

Eighteen innings weren't enough today. The Orioles and Yankees were locked in a scoreless tie in Game 1 of their doubleheader until Chris Young homered off Brad Brach with two outs and the bases empty in the top of the 11th inning. The bullpen had tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings with six strikeouts before Young homered for the second consecutive game. Zach Britton issued a walk in the 10th for the only Yankees baserunner since starter Kevin Gausman departed after the seventh. Young pulled a...

The next Orioles victory will be the 5,000th in club history, including the postseason. The Orioles' last doubleheader sweep of the Yankees came on Sept. 24, 1984 in Baltimore, but they've gone 0-4-5 in the last nine twinbills. Two Blue Angels made a couple of test runs over Camden Yards in the top of the fifth in preparation for this weekend's Star Spangled Celebration, but nothing can break Kevin Gausman's concentration. Gausman has shut out the Yankees on four hits over five innings,...

Maybe it's milestone day and night at Camden Yards. The Orioles' stunning 2-1 win in 11 innings this afternoon was the 5,000th in club history, counting the playoffs. It was also win No. 1,250 for Buck Showalter as a big league manager. Now the Orioles try for their first doubleheader sweep of the New York Yankees since Sept. 24, 1984 in Game 2 of the split twin bill. The Orioles are now a major league-leading 14-5 in extra-inning games for the season and 38-14 in extras since 2012. Bud...

Chris Davis comes off the 40-man roster during his 25-game suspension, creating an opening for the Orioles. The Orioles lost catcher Matt Wieters to ligament-reconstructive surgery on his right elbow. They lost third baseman Manny Machado to knee surgery. Davis is done in 2014 unless the Orioles play more than eight games in the postseason. Who loves a challenge? "What's the old thing? Harmony's not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them," said manager Buck Showalter....

The Orioles host the Yankees in a day-night doubleheader today as they look to reduce their magic number and to close in on a season series win over the Yankees. The Orioles are 8-3 against New York this season, winning all four series. The teams have eight games remaining and if the O's go 2-6 or better, they will win the season series for the first time since 1997. The Orioles have come close to a season series win the past two years, going 9-9 in 2012 and 9-10 last season. Since they...

Chris Davis issued a statement today regarding his 25-game suspension for testing positive for an amphetamine in violation of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The suspension begins immediately and covers the last 17 games of the regular season and eight playoff games if the Orioles advance that far. This is Davis' second positive test. He's not allowed to be with his teammates at Camden Yards during the suspension. "I apologize to my teammates,...

The Orioles have withstood injuries to Matt Wieters and Manny Machado. They dealt with Machado's suspension. Now how will they survive today's gut punch? Chris Davis has been suspended 25 games without pay, effective immediately, after testing positive for an amphetamine, a violation of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. "Like always in my situation, you have to learn to deal with the problems and the challenges along the way. If they are self-inflicted,...
