Ramón Urías is out of the lineup tonight with a bruised heel. However, Urías said he’s feeling better and should be available off the bench. Urías hit his heel with his bat during last night’s game and was removed after the sixth inning. “It feels good,” he said. “Just a little sore today.” Jordan Westburg is the third baseman tonight.

PHILADELPHIA – Two games down, two to go in this four-game set in the City of Brotherly Love. After splitting yesterday’s doubleheader, the Nationals have won five of their last six games, six of their eight and seven of their last 10. Don’t look now, but they are only 1 ½ games back of the Mets in the National League East and down to single digits

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Activated RHP Jacob Webb. He will wear No. 66.Optioned RHP Joey Krehbiel to Triple-A Norfolk after yesterday’s game.

The Orioles optioned reliever Joey Krehbiel to Triple-A Norfolk after last night’s game and activated reliever Jacob Webb, who was a waiver claim Monday from the Angels. Krehbiel made two appearances with the Orioles and retired all five batters he faced. Webb, who’s wearing No. 66, was designated for assignment Saturday after posting a 3.98 ERA an

Now that he got his first Orioles start out of the way – and it was a good one last Thursday at Toronto’s Rogers Centre – tonight right-hander Jack Flaherty will make his Oriole Park debut for his new team.  Acquired just minutes before the trade deadline from the St. Louis Cardinals, the 27-year-old Flaherty, a free agent at the end of this season

PHILADELPHIA – Andrés Machado wasn’t really supposed to be in this situation. And if he was going to be, a lot of things would have to go right for him, starting with his own production. The right-hander, who posted a respectable 3.41 ERA in 95 innings over 91 games for the Nationals between 2021-22, was the odd man out when Corey Dickerson signed

The Orioles will try to get back to 28 games above .500 tonight, perhaps stretching their lead to three over the second-place Rays, who gained a little ground last night. Trying to contend again and grab a wild card berth has been replaced by winning the division and posting the best record to seize home field advantage. Could make a fascinating bo

PHILADELPHIA – After an 8-4 loss in the doubleheader opener – in which the Phillies hit four home runs to the Nationals’ two – the plan for Washington in the nightcap was simple: keep the ball in the yard. And if you can continue to hit them out yourself, even better. Well, wouldn’t you know it, home runs played a big role in the second game. The N

Among the many impressive accomplishments by the Orioles in 2023 is their handling of a starter who pitched a no-hitter in his previous outing. A trait that didn’t figure to surface twice. They show no fear of also being on the wrong end of history. And they don’t tolerate any drama. That last part didn't arrive tonight until the top of the ninth i

PHILADELPHIA – Now let’s play two! The Nationals lost to the Phillies 8-4 in Game 1. Josiah Gray will try to get them back on the winning track, mainly by keeping the ball in the yard after the Phillies hit four home runs in the opener. Gray is 7-9 with a 3.54 ERA and 1.426 WHIP over his first 22 starts. He has only surrendered 15 homers so far for
