CHICAGO – Another O’s series at Wrigley Field means another baseball homecoming for Orioles manger Brandon Hyde. He was with the Cubs from 2011 through 2018, first in their minor leagues and later as bench coach and first base coach for the Cubs. When the Cubs won the 2016 World Series – their first WS win since 1908 – Hyde was manager Joe Maddon’s

Mike Baumann’s baseball life has taken him to many places and into many roles. The Orioles made the decision in spring training to remove the starter duties and just let him focus on relief.

The Nationals came into this weekend’s three-game series against the Marlins needing to find some way to beat their divisional foes. Entering tonight, the Nats were 4-18 with a -41 run differential against the Fish since the start of last season.

Victor Robles walked into the Nationals clubhouse with a little more hop in his step than he had over the past month-plus. He wasn’t very mobile or flexible while dealing with a back injury that had him on the 10-day injured list since May 8.

CHICAGO – The Orioles had been good this year both on the road and in series-opening games, but that combination did not lead to a win today at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. Playing better baseball after a three-game sweep this week of National League Central-leading Pittsburgh, the Cubs hit three homers this afternoon in one inning off Baltimore lefty

After a 2-4 road trip, the Nationals have lost five straight series, all coming against tough opponents. And depending on how you view the Marlins, another one is on deck this weekend. The Fish are 38-31 and in second place in the National League East, but have the second-worst run differential in the division at -30. Their bread and butter is one-

CHICAGO – The Orioles enjoyed a successful homestand, going 5-1 against Kansas City and Toronto. They swept the Royals and took two of three from Toronto, winning a fifth straight American League East series. The Orioles lost their first two AL East series of this year, but have now gone 11-4 in winning their last five. They beat Toronto

CHICAGO - As the Orioles play the Chicago Cubs today to start a three-game series at Wrigley Field, manager Brandon Hyde expects to see a good number of Orioles fans in the stands. That was the case last July 12-13 when the O's swept a two-game series at Wrigley. "We are traveling well," Hyde said pregame in the visitors' dugout. "I'm loving the wa
