WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Tonight’s MLB Little League Classic offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Nationals to both experience the Little League World Series in person and then play in a nationally televised game in the most intimate setting they’ll ever have in the major leagues. For two players, it also marks a welcome return to the big lea

The Orioles' West Coast road trip began with an impressive series win at Seattle against a red-hot Mariners team, and they won the last two games of the series in 10 innings. They lost two of three at San Diego, but a win today would give them a three-game sweep at Oakland to end the trip. A winning road trip is already secured and so is a series w

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Hello from Muncy Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field, the longtime home of the minor league Williamsport Crosscutters and home tonight of the MLB Little League Classic between the Nationals and Phillies. For the first time in club history, the Nats are playing in a neutral-site location, selected last year to participate in t

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Recalled OF Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk.Placed OF Aaron Hicks on the 10-day Injured List with a low back strain, retroactive to August 16.Placed RHP Mychal Givens on unconditional release waivers.

The Nationals will board a flight this morning and head to Williamsport, Pa., for a full day of festivities ahead of tonight’s Little League Classic against the Phillies. The sixth edition of this special major league game will be the first time the Nationals will get to experience the pomp and circumstance surrounding the event. And the team is lo

This just in: Cedric Mullins is pretty important to the Orioles. While his bat has not yet consistently heated up as he returned to the active roster to start the road trip last weekend in Seattle, he won a game against the Mariners with an incredible late-game performance. And that reminded us just how good he can be and just how big having him in

OAKLAND – Ryan McKenna knows the drill. An outfielder is injured while he’s down at Triple-A Norfolk, and instructions are coming to board a flight and join the Orioles. It’s become a routine. Maybe not the way McKenna first imagined his major league career unfolding, but he’s developing a niche and a reputation. He’s the outfielder with plus speed

OAKLAND – The crowd didn’t rise to its feet or generate even a smattering of applause. A tribute didn’t play on the video boards. Cole Irvin could have been any other starter tonight, his return to Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum met with utter indifference. Irvin’s fourth pitch nailed leadoff hitter Esteury Ruíz on the left elbow. At least he got

With a 4-3 record on their West Coast road trip, a win tonight by the Orioles would produce both a series victory in Oakland and ensure the club has a winning road trip with one game to play on Sunday. The Orioles (75-47) beat the Athletics 9-4 last night as they produced 16 hits - six for extra-bases - and went 6-for-14 with runners in scoring pos
