CHICAGO - Dylan Bundy allowed a baserunner tonight. Better keep him in the South Atlantic League until he figures it out. Making his home debut, Bundy walked Hagerstown center fielder Billy Burns with two outs in the third inning - the only runner to reach against him in three starts. Bundy struck out three more batters, giving him 15 in nine innings. He still hasn't surrendered a hit. The fourth-overall pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft got two ground balls and a strikeout in the...

Orioles top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy just completed his third outing as a pro and he has now pitched the equivalent of a nine-inning no-hitter over his three games for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds. In the first inning tonight versus Hagerstown, the 19-year-old right-hander got a strikeout, followed by a pair of ground outs. In the second inning he got a fly out and then a pair of strikeouts. In the third he retired the first two hitters on ground outs before allowing a two-out walk...

Here are some impressive home run stats for Orioles catcher Matt Wieters. He started hitting more homers late last year as you may recall and, in fact, he had 12 of his 22 homers in 2011 in the season's final two months. If you combined that with his fast start this year - he has four homers already - Wieters has now hit 16 home runs over his last 45 games. That is a 57-homer pace over 162 games. He hit 12 in his last 36 games last year and has four in the first nine games this season. He...

Edwin Jackson's usually a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of guy. But today especially, his smile lit up the Nationals' clubhouse. Jackson got a surprise today when manager Davey Johnson called for Jackson to come into his office. The Nats skipper didn't want to talk about the hurler's latest outing or anything on-field related, but instead, he had a gift waiting for Jackson. Johnson picked up a small box and passed it across the desk. Inside the black case was Jackson's 2012 St. Louis...

With last year's starting left fielder Michael Morse nursing his way back from a left lat injury, the Nationals have used several different lineups in the outfield. Manager Davey Johnson has employed an outfield by committee early on, with injuries and rough starts contributing to the alterations, even from game to game. For instance on Monday, Xavier Nady played left field, Rick Ankiel played center and Jayson Werth was in right. On Tuesday, by contrast, Johnson called for Nady in left,...

CHICAGO - Mark Reynolds will serve as the designated hitter again tonight against White Sox left-hander John Danks, with Wilson Betemit starting at third base.

Hardy SS Nick Markakis RF Adam Jones CF Matt Wieters C Mark Reynolds DH Wilson Betemit 3B Chris Davis 1B Robert Andino 2B Wei-Yin Chen LHP Minor league catcher Michael Ohlman has received a 50-game suspension after a second...

As promised, both Mark DeRosa and Xavier Nady are in manager Davey Johnson's lineup today, as the Nationals will load up with right-handed hitters against Astros lefty Wandy Rodriguez. Interestingly, DeRosa is in right today with Nady in left. This will be DeRosa's first action in right field this season. Wilson Ramos also gets a day off today, as Jesus Flores is behind the plate to catch Gio Gonzalez. Here are today's lineups: Nationals SS Ian Desmond 2B Danny Espinosa 3B Ryan...

CHICAGO - Before we turn our focus to tonight's game, let's continue to linger around last night's 10-inning victory. I'm just not ready to let go. According to Elias, Matt Wieters' grand slam in the 10th inning was just the fifth in extra innings for the Orioles in the last 50 years, and the second against the White Sox. All of them came in the 10th. The others were produced by Brooks Robinson (July 7, 1970 versus New York), Tommy Davis (July 27, 1975 at Milwaukee), Joe Nolan (August...

CHICAGO - The Orioles have claimed catcher Luis Exposito on waivers from Boston Red Sox. To make room on the 40-man roster, infielder Josh Bell has been designated for assignment. Bell's been on the 40-man bubble. It finally popped. Exposito, 25, is a career .268/.324/.420 hitter in seven minor league seasons, all of them spent in the Red Sox's farm system. He was a 31st-round pick in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft. Bell, 25, batted .200/.221/.264 in 79 games with the Orioles in 2010...
