It does confound some analysts. The Orioles, while ranking 10th in MLB in run differential, are second in the sport in winning percentage. Just how are they doing that? Winning a lot of close games is how. Ironically, when the Orioles returned to the playoffs in 2012 after a 14-year drought, they won a lot of close games. That team had a plus seven

NEW YORK – The first time came on the back end of a perfectly executed double-steal, with Jeimer Candelario drawing the throw to second to allow CJ Abrams to race home from third. The second time came moments after a pickoff attempt, Abrams immediately swiping second ahead of the throw. And by the third time Abrams attempted to steal Sunday afterno

Trade deadlines in the Orioles’ rebuild kept players on edge, wondering if they were headed out the door or which teammates and friends might beat them to it. They checked social media posts and read the transaction scrolls on television, which alerted a few, like second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who hadn’t heard from the team or an agent after arri

Three forearm smashes and a hand slap. That’s what awaited Adam Frazier tonight after he crossed home plate in the first inning. Before he reached the top step of the dugout.

The Orioles and New York Yankees will play tonight to wrap up this series and their 2023 season series. The clubs will not meet again this year after tonight. The Orioles blanked New York 1-0 Friday night on Anthony Santander’s walk-off home run in the last of the ninth. New York won 8-3 last night as right-hander Tyler Wells allowed three runs ove

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde isn’t ready to name a starter for Thursday afternoon’s series finale in Toronto. “This is an unusual week,” he said, smiling, “so we’ll see what happens.” The trade deadline could influence the choice after the Orioles optioned Tyler Wells to Double-A Bowie. Jordan Montgomery is the latest starter to tumble off the boar

NEW YORK – The weekend had already included rain delays, trades and a lot of offense. Sunday’s series finale between the Nationals an Mets included none of that. Nor did it include a win for the visitors. A tepid offensive showing against Justin Verlander and a laborious start from Trevor Williams doomed the Nats during a 5-2 loss to close out a lo

The Orioles are hosting an ESPN game tonight for the first time in five years and trying to win their 20th series following last night’s 8-3 loss to the Yankees before the second sellout crowd of the season. Adley Rutschman is leading off again after going 0-for-2 last night with a walk and hit-by-pitch. His on-base streak has reached a career-high
