Two unearned runs scored on a bases-loaded error by Harrisburg Senators third baseman Adrian Sanchez and two more on came in on a two-out RBI double later in the sixth inning of last night's game in Arm and Hammer Park in Trenton, N.J., where the Senators beat the Trenton Thunder 6-4 with a five-run comeback in the top of the ninth inning. A.J. Cole, 22, left his ninth start of the season after 5 2/3 innings with a 1.97 ERA on the year and the Senators down 4-1. But the Matt Skole-led rally in...

PITTSBURGH - Five appearances into Blake Treinen's big league career, it's clear that he has the raw ability to compete at this level. Treinen's hard two-seamer touched 98 mph last night against the Pirates and was clocked at 100 mph at times in the minors. He has a changeup and slider that at times can be strong pitches for him. He has a quiet confidence and rarely seems shaken on the mound. The question going forward is whether he can develop his secondary pitches enough to still be...

The Orioles have now lost four of their last five games and eight of their past 11. That escalated quickly and not in a good way. They've now lost three straight one-run games and lost for the first time in extra innings last night after a 4-0 start this year. A loss tonight would drop the Orioles back to even .500 at 23-23. They have not been there since April 27 when they were 12-12. The Orioles have scored 30 runs and hit eight homers the last four games, yet they have lost three of those...

Just when the Orioles thought they could make it through a day without another roster move, 13 innings happened. Look for a reliever to arrive from Triple-A Norfolk before tonight's game against the Indians at Camden Yards. I pitched T.J. McFarland's name - so to speak - before the Orioles decided to recall Preston Guilmet. McFarland remains a candidate tonight as a backup to right-handed starter Bud Norris. McFarland is scheduled to start tonight for Norfolk. We'll see. The Orioles could...

Manny Machado said his right groin became an issue for him early in the game Thursday. It may have happened when he slid into second base on a force play after he singled in the bottom of the fourth. He hopes he can play Friday in the second game of this series. "It tightened up on me early on in the game and just continued to keep getting stiff on me," Machado said. "It was one of the slides. Popped up and then ever since then it kept stiffening up every inning. "Tomorrow, we'll see...

Orioles manager Buck Showalter will check on Manny Machado on Friday afternoon before making out his lineup, unsure whether the third baseman will play due to tightness in his groin. Machado came out of tonight's game after the 11th inning as a precaution. "Just had some tightness in his groin and that long of a game, I didn't like some of the body language he had moving around and everything, especially running down the line," Showalter said following an 8-7, 13-inning loss to the...

PITTSBURGH - Both times that Blake Treinen has gotten a big league start thus far in his young career, he's pitched pretty darn well, but just hasn't been able to earn the win. Against the Dodgers back on May 6, it was a rough fifth inning that featured a couple of errors, one by Treinen himself, that led to a loss. Tonight, it was a combination of factors. A four-batter stretch in the third inning where he lost command didn't help. An inability to retire Andrew McCutchen also was an issue,...

The Orioles were behind, they went ahead, the game got tied. And then they lost. But it took quite a while. In the longest game of the season, Cleveland beat the Orioles 8-7 in 13 innings tonight. The Orioles had been 4-0 in extra-inning games. To make matters worse, Manny Machado left the game after he struck out in the last of the 11th with right groin stiffness. He went 1-for-6 tonight and is 10-for-32 over his past seven games. Cleveland loaded the bases with one out against Troy Patton...

PITTSBURGH - The Nationals got a strong outing from Blake Treinen in his second major league start, and they got a good bit of solid contact off Pirates pitching. Unfortunately for them, they also got a 3-1 loss in the first game of this four-game set at PNC Park. Treinen allowed two runs on four hits over 5 2/3 innings, with five walks and four strikeouts. He allowed single runs in the third (when he retired the first two hitters, then walked Pirates starter Edinson Volquez, starting a...

Manny Machado has come out of tonight's game after 11 innings. Ryan Flaherty has moved to third base and Jonathan Schoop is playing second. Machado struck out on the ninth pitch from Indians reliever Josh Outman leading off the bottom of the 11th. No explanation given for his removal, but he did foul a ball off his left foot earlier tonight. Maybe that's it. Schoop was on deck to pinch-hit for Flaherty in the eighth, but J.J. Hardy reached on an infield hit and Flaherty stayed in the...
