There were 12 pitchers used between the two teams tonight but Ryan Webb certainly was disappointed to be the only one that was scored on. He gave up an RBI single to Albert Pujols in the top of the 13th inning of the Angels' 1-0 win over the Orioles. "You never want to be the one to give it up," Webb said. "A game like that, 12 or 13 innings without giving up a run. It (stinks). You can't walk the leadoff guy, especially with those guys coming up. I went out and did it in four pitches....

The Orioles will introduce reliever Andrew Miller to the Baltimore media today and make a roster move to accommodate his arrival from the Red Sox. They could go in a few directions. Brad Brach, T.J. McFarland and Ryan Webb have options. McFarland could be expendable with three other relievers in the bullpen, but we know how much manager Buck Showalter values his contributions, his ability to "defend himself" against left-handed and right-handed hitters, his work as the long man behind the...

Though the Orioles played 13 innings tonight in a 1-0 loss to the Angels, they won't need to call up a fresh reliever for Friday night's series opener against the Mariners. Andrew Miller will join the team, with a corresponding roster move pending. Bud Norris tossed seven scoreless innings and didn't get a decision. The bullpen followed with five scoreless innings before the Angels pushed across a run against Ryan Webb in the 13th. Angels left-hander Tyler Skaggs didn't allow a hit in 4...

Left-hander Gio Gonzalez was looking to build off a seven-inning, one-run performance Saturday at Cincinnati. He took a hard luck 1-0 loss, but still managed to pitch well, allowing the Reds only four hits and striking out eight. But in his first game back at Nats Park since July 20, Gonzalez struggled against the Phillies, giving up five runs in 3 2/3 innings in a 10-4 Nationals loss. He allowed eight hits and recorded only 11 outs. In the five-run fourth inning, the Phillies were able to get...

Someone finally scored. Usually something good happens to the Orioles when the game reaches extra innings, but tonight the Los Angeles Angels broke the long, grueling scoreless tie and beat the Birds 1-0 in 13 innings. Albert Pujols, who had been robbed of hits twice tonight by Manny Machado, lined an RBI single to center to break the 0-0 tie in the 13th inning. Kole Calhoun led off the inning with a walk off Ryan Webb, and Mike Trout's single sent him to third. Pujols knocked in his 67th...

The Phillies pounded out 17 hits and pushed across 10 runs. The Nationals made three errors and allowed three stolen bases. This game could have been closer than the final six-run deficit had the Nats cashed in on opportunities and played a little cleaner. williams Instead, the Phillies cruised to a 10-4 win in the opener of this four-game series. Gio Gonzalez allowed five runs in just 3 2/3 innings, and even though Cliff Lee went just 2 2/3 before leaving with a left flexor pronator strain,...

Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph threw out Erick Aybar attempting to steal tonight in the top of the second inning, making the Angels 0-for-3 in the series. Seriously, I'll take whatever offensive production Joseph provides in exchange for his 52 percent success rate. Joseph has nabbed 17 of 33 would-be base stealers. The guy who once was labeled in the minors as having a decent bat, but questionable skills behind the plate. Joseph played 24 games at first base in the minors, 20 in left field...

The Nationals have finally returned home for the first time since July 20 and left-hander Gio Gonzalez looked to get off to a good start in front of the Nationals Park faithful. He started that last game at home and recorded a no-decision in a 5-4 win over the Brewers. Despite falling to the Reds on Saturday, Gonzalez allowed only one run on four hits over seven frames. Against the Phillies with one away in the first, Gonzalez surrendered a hit to Jimmy Rollins but then recorded a pair of outs...

The Orioles will try to complete their first three-game home sweep against the Angels tonight since Aug. 3-5, 2010. The Orioles have won back-to-back one-run games to take the first two games of this series and they are 9-3 against the Angels since 2013. The Orioles are 19-10 (.655) against the American League West, which is the best record in the league against that division. Bud Norris (8-7, 3.94) gets the start tonight against Angels' lefty Tyler Skaggs (5-5, 4.49 ERA). In five career...

The Nationals decided to trade future potential for playoff experience and depth for their infield on Thursday, sending prospect Zach Walters to the Cleveland Indians for veteran infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. Manager Matt Williams said Walters thought he was in trouble when his skipper called him into the office early Thursday to deliver the news. "Shocked as anybody else would (be)," Williams said. "I said, 'No,' " when Walters suggested he might have done something wrong. "We've made...
