BOSTON - Tonight's game between the Orioles and Red Sox ended with a walk-off error and manager Buck Showalter huddled with the umpires in front of his dugout. Confusion and craziness were the key ingredients in the Orioles' 6-5 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park. David Lough caught pinch-hitter Mike Carp's sinking liner in left field and made a wide throw to the plate that allowed Dustin Pedroia to score. Showalter immediately came onto the field and players hesitated before walking to the...

BOSTON - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy doesn't expect to be included in Monday morning's lineup after straining his right hamstring while running the bases in the fifth inning. Manager Buck Showalter told Hardy that he was getting the day off anyway, but the injury sealed the deal. Hardy isn't certain of its severity, since he has no previous experience with strained hamstrings. "I know trainers don't like to hear it, but tweaked something. I have no idea. I've never had a hamstring issue....

No other way to say it, that was one very ugly loss for the Orioles. They blew a 5-0 lead and lost 6-5 on a throwing error in the last of the ninth. Dustin Pedroia doubled with one out against Brian Matusz and went to third on a wild pitch. After an intentional walk to David Ortiz, Darren O'Day came in and hit Mike Napoli to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Mike Carp then lined out to left. Pedroia tagged but was headed back to third as left fielder David Lough threw wildly toward home and past...

In case you missed something, we're recapping what went on in the Orioles' Twitterverse each week. Let's take a look at last week, shall we? Adam Jones shared what Jackie Robinson Day means to him. Thank u Jackie Robinson. Words can't express my gratitude so I go out there everyday and play as hard as I can cause that's what u would do -- 10 (@SimplyAJ10) April 15, 2014 Bud Norris caught Rick Dempsey taking a little nap. Caught in the act. @RickDempsey24 sleeping during the rain delay....

BOSTON - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy left tonight's game after the sixth inning with a strained right hamstring. He's listed as day to day. Hardy apparently suffered the injury while running the bases in the top of the fifth. He singled with two outs and tried to score from first on David Lough's ground rule double. Hardy had to go back to third base. Steve Lombardozzi pinch-hit for Hardy in the top of the seventh and is playing second base. Jonathan Schoop moved to third base and Ryan...

BOSTON - Before tonight, Red Sox starter Jake Peavy had allowed four earned runs in 18 2/3 innings this season. The Orioles scored five against him tonight in only 5 2/3 innings. Peavy issued an intentional walk to Chris Davis with Ryan Flaherty at third base and two outs in the sixth. Adam Jones followed with an RBI single to left field to increase the Orioles' lead to 5-0 and end Peavy's night. Jones already had two hits. Now he's produced his first three-hit game of the season. I'm...

The Nationals had a busy week, so many players took to Twitter to talk about it. We've put it all together for you here. Sandy Leon started the week with his first career home run. Jerry Blevins and Aaron Barret thought it deserved a couple of Twitter shoutouts. @sandyleon41 congrats on first homer!— Jerry Blevins (@JerryBlevins_13) April 15, 2014 Congrats mi Hermano!! @sandyleon41 #FirstMLBHR— Aaron Barrett (@aaronbarrett30) April 15, 2014 Ian Desmond and Bryce Harper show...

BOSTON - Nelson Cruz continued his assault on Red Sox pitching this season, and the Orioles jumped out to a 3-0 lead tonight against Jake Peavy in the top of the first inning. Cruz hit his third home run of the season, a solo shot that produced his 12th RBI and his eighth against the Red Sox. The Orioles had gone four straight games without a home run. Cruz delivered their 10th of the season. Did I jinx them earlier by mentioning the streak? Chris Davis followed with a walk, extending his...

The Nationals' comeback to beat the Cardinals 3-2 on a Denard Span sacrifice fly in the ninth gave them their sixth come-from-behind win this season. They split the four-game set with St. Louis, improving to 5-1 in series finales. The Nats left 17 men on base, but managed to come away with the victory. Span spoke about his at-bat against right-hander Seth Maness in the ninth with the bases loaded, one out and the game tied 2-2. The Cards played an extra man in the infield for Span's...

We know Ubaldo Jimenez has been a slow starter during his career, and we know that he struggled early last season and then went on to have a very good year. Despite that information, it would calm some of the O's fan base a bit if he pitched well tonight at Fenway Park. When Jimenez was so good last year after the All-Star break, he gave up just three homers in 84 innings over 13 starts. In three Orioles starts, he's already given up four homers over 16 innings. Last season, he allowed two...
