When Jeter Downs stepped to the plate to lead off the bottom of the ninth this afternoon, he had no realistic reason to believe he was about to jumpstart a game-winning rally. The Nationals trailed the Athletics by five runs, having slogged their way through a mostly lifeless series finale that saw Trevor Williams get roughed up again while their l
SEATTLE - After their thrilling 1-0 win in 10 innings at T-Mobile Park on Saturday night, the Orioles return today with a chance to win this series against a red-hot Mariners club.

SEATTLE – The Orioles today reinstated reliever Mychal Givens from the 60-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation and then designated him for assignment.

The Orioles have made the following roster move: Reinstated RHP Mychal Givens from the 60-day Injured List (right shoulder inflammation) and designated him for assignment.
Last night’s 1-0, 10-inning win in Seattle guaranteed that the Orioles wouldn’t be swept in 77 consecutive series. The Orioles ended the Mariners’ winning streak at eight games. A victory today would seal their 23rd series. Cedric Mullins is on the bench today, with Austin Hays playing center field and Ryan O’Hearn in left. Jordan Westburg is the t
