Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is known for many things: his defensive capabilities, his power and, of course, his "Stay Hungry" catchphrase. This week, Jones appeared on MLB Fan Cave's show "Off the Bat," which airs on MTV2. During the show, he gave host Chris Distefano a tour of some of his favorite restaurants in the Baltimore area. Jones also faced off against "Off the Bat" hosts in a doughnut-eating contest. It was competitive. It was sloppy. But did Jones "Stay Hungry" and...

Jayson Werth's grand slam was the big blow last night, the one you'll see on all the highlight reels and the one that lifted the Nationals to a dramatic 10-7 win over the Marlins. It was a huge blast, both in terms of distance and in terms of importance, helping the Nats turn another deficit into a victory. But let's talk a bit more about Bryce Harper's home run earlier in the game last night, a shot that not only pulled the Nats back into the ballgame but also might have pulled Harper out...

NEW YORK - Early this morning, the Orioles announced that Chris Tillman, Bud Norris and Ubaldo Jimenez would start the three games against the Blue Jays this weekend at Camden Yards. Tillman was pushed ahead of Norris. The Orioles are off today. No games. Reduced odds that a player will be hurt. Celebrate good times. J.J. Hardy will work out today at Camden Yards to test his lower back. David Lough will rest up after passing his concussion test yesterday in Baltimore. Jemile Weeks will wonder...

When Brian Matusz took the mound in the last of the eighth inning last night, he saw Yankees players with bats in their hands, not dollar signs. In a 3-3 game with one out and the go-ahead run just 90 feet away, Matusz would get Jacoby Ellsbury on a foul pop to third. After an intentional walk to Carlos Beltran, he got Brian McCann to fly out to center. He kept the game tied with those two big outs and the Orioles would then score two in the ninth to beat New York. In getting out Ellsbury and...

Blown leads, multiple replay reviews, monstrous homers, more blown leads, plays at the plate, late-game strategy ... this game have enough in it for you? What an entertaining ballgame tonight's 10-7 Nationals win turned out to be. It lasted a whopping three hours, 56 minutes, saw 364 pitches get thrown, and ended with the Nats celebrating a wild victory thanks to Jayson Werth's go-ahead grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning. Matt Williams covered all the main topics in his postgame...

It is a strategic move. But you don't see a team walk a batter to get to a clutch hitter like Jayson Werth too many times. It set up a possible double play. Instead it turned into a game-changing grand slam. Nationals reliever Craig Stammen, who kept the Marlins off the board for three and 1/3 innings, said it doesn't take too much to get Werth going, usually something way less egregious than an intentional walk. "Well, knowing Jayson, if a pitcher looks at him wrong, he'll take that...

NEW YORK - Orioles right-hander Bud Norris wasn't used in relief tonight, so he's slated to start one of the games against the Blue Jays this weekend at Camden Yards. Chris Tillman and Ubaldo Jimenez also will pitch. Manager Buck Showalter must decide on the order. David Lough entered tonight's game in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement after undergoing concussion tests earlier today in Baltimore. "I was having the same symptoms I was having in spring training - lightheadedness,...

NEW YORK - The Orioles won their first series in the Bronx since 2012 by holding on for a 5-4 victory at Yankee Stadium. They also posted their first back-to-back victories of 2014. Brian Matusz stranded two runners in the eighth, including one that he inherited, after serving up a home run to Kelly Johnson yesterday. "Brian's done that job for us now for about a year and a half at a real good pace," said manager Buck Showalter. "We know where his heart lies. I knew he was real frustrated...

The Orioles could not pin a loss on Masahiro Tanaka tonight, but they did score twice in the ninth to beat the New York Yankees 5-4 and win the series. The first four O's reached in the ninth against Shawn Kelley and a Nick Markakis RBI single made it 4-3 while a Chris Davis sac fly made it 5-3. The Orioles would need both runs as New York scored one in the ninth off Tommy Hunter. The Orioles were 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position going into the ninth and then went 3-for-5 with RISP...

NEW YORK - Miguel Gonzalez turned in the Orioles' second quality start of the season tonight, coming out of the game after the sixth with the score tied 3-3. Chris Tillman has the other quality start after allowing one run in 8 1/3 innings in Detroit. Gonzalez allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings, with one walk, three strikeouts and two home runs. He threw 85 pitches, 55 for strikes. Evan Meek replaced Gonzalez, whose pitch count seemed to suggest that he'd keep working into...
