Matt Wieters hit a three-run homer off Yankees reliever Luis Ayala in the bottom of the sixth inning. It's been that kind of night. Wieters has 14 homers and 50 RBIs this season. Alex Rodriguez hit a solo homer off Tommy Hunter in the top of the seventh, and Nick Swisher just added a two-run shot. Still no outs and pitching coach Rick Adair is visiting the mound. Orioles 12, Yankees 4. Swisher's ball is the 57th to land on Eutaw Street, and the 33rd by an opponent. Estimated distance:...

The Orioles battered Yankees starter A.J. Burnett in the second inning. Mark Reynolds hit his 30th home run with one out in the second, and the Orioles strung together four straight doubles from Ryan Adams, Nolan Reimold, Matt Angle and Robert Andino. J.J. Hardy followed with his 25th home run - breaking an 0-for-29 streak against the Yankees - and Nick Markakis reached on Burnett's fielding error. The Orioles led 6-0 and nobody was warming in the Yankees' bullpen. Reynolds is the first...

I never expected the New York Yankees to provide a lasting image from tonight's tribute to Mike Flanagan. The entire Yankees team stood outside its dugout, many players with caps in hand, while highlights and photos of Flanagan were shown on the video board in center field. They applauded, along with the Orioles and their fans, at the conclusion before heading back to the bench. The Orioles pay tribute to Mike Flanagan It reminded me of the night Cal Ripken Jr. voluntarily ended his...

Heading into this weekend's games, the Orioles are just 1-9 on the year against New York. The stats, to no surprise, are pretty one-sided as well. The Yankees have a team batting average of .318 and have recorded 28 doubles, five triples, 15 homers and scored 82 runs against O's pitching in the season series. The Orioles ERA against New York is 6.46 while the Yankees staff has an ERA of 2.73 against the Birds. The Orioles are batting just .231 in those 10 games with 18 doubles, no triples...

Courtesy of a tweet from O's lefty Zach Britton (@zbritton), here's the patch that the Orioles will wear on their right jersey sleeves for the remainder of the season in memory of Mike Flanagan, the former pitcher, coach, club executive and MASN broadcaster who died Wednesday.

The Washington Nationals today placed right-handed pitcher Ryan Mattheus (right shoulder strain) on the 15-Day Disabled List. Nationals Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Mattheus, 27, is 2-2 with six holds and a 2.40 ERA in 32 relief appearances this season with Washington.

The death of Mike Flanagan, it seems, has impacted different Orioles players in different ways. Some didn't know the former Oriole player very well. Others had several interactions with him. Manager Buck Showalter pointed out today that Flanagan did not seek players out in the clubhouse but was always there if a player sought his counsel or advice or just wanted to talk. Catcher Matt Wieters is one of the players that did spend some time with Flanagan. "It's hard because it comes as such...
