The Mets took advantage of Gio Gonzalez's early first inning troubles. Gonzalez allowed a leadoff single to Mets' left fielder Eric Young Jr., hit Juan Lagares with a pitch, and with one out, walked Lucas Duda. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud followed with a bases-clearing double to give the Mets a 3-0 lead after one inning. With two runs scored, Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos dropped the ball at the plate, which allowed Duda to score. We head to the second inning with the Nats trailing 3-0. Update:...

The Orioles now lead the season series against the Yankees 9-3, including a 5-1 record at Camden Yards. They seemed to be headed toward an 11-inning loss before Jimmy Paredes' two-run walk-off double - the Orioles' ninth walk-off win of the season. Two of them have come against the Yankees. The Orioles have 5,000 victories in club history. Manager Buck Showalter earned his 1,250th this afternoon. The Orioles have won 14 of their last 17 series openers. They've won five games in a row to...

Before we get to the jubilation of the Orioles' 2-1, 11-inning victory over the Yankees in Game 1 of today's split doubleheader at Camden Yards, it's necessary to take the pulse of the clubhouse following news of Chris Davis' 25-game suspension. Team union representative Darren O'Day was the first Oriole to address the media. "I was very surprised," he said. "I know how much Chris loves playing baseball and loves coming to the park every day and being with his teammates, so surprised...

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....
