You have to feel good for a player that has played in 512 minor league games for six different teams and piled up 1,966 at-bats when he gets to the major leagues, and then has success. That is happening now, finally, for Ryan Adams, the Orioles' second-round pick in 2006 out of a New Orleans area high school. He's been everywhere from Bluefield, W.Va., to Baltimore, and last night he was in the right spot at the right time. His 10th-inning single gave the Orioles a 6-5 win over Toronto....

The Orioles are prepared to make a move to expand their roster by recalling left-hander

After he was retired on a pop up to second base with the bases loaded and one out in the eighth inning, Orioles second baseman Ryan Adams was hoping for another chance in a key spot. It came two innings later. His RBI single off the right-field warning track capped the Orioles' two-run last of the 10th as they rallied to beat Toronto 6-5 tonight. It is the first walk-off hit of Adams' brief big league career. Ryan Adams gets a pie in the face after his game-winning hit in the O's 6-5...

Talk about riding a roller coaster of emotions. The Orioles should be dizzy from the last two innings of tonight's game, which ended with a 6-5 victory on Ryan Adams' walk-off single in the 10th. Kevin Gregg blew the save in the ninth by allowing the tying run, but the Blue Jays left the bases loaded. "I try to dwell on some of the positives," manager Buck Showalter said. "A lot of guys would have let that inning get real big and away from him, and he held them to one run. He's had some...

It seemed like a game the Orioles were going to give away, but they took it back with a victory on Tuesday night against Toronto. After they suffered a blown save in the ninth and Toronto tied the game 4-4, the Jays went ahead 5-4 in the top of the 10th. But the Orioles came up with two runs in the last of the 10th to pull out a comeback, 6-5 victory in the series opener. Brian Tallet walked Matt Wieters and Mark Reynolds to start the 10th. With one out, a Jake Fox RBI single tied the game...

The Orioles could have given closer Kevin Gregg a bigger margin for error in the bottom of the eighth after loading the bases with one out, but their failure to score meant the right-hander would have to protect a one-run lead. He couldn't do it. And it almost defies explanation. Gregg hadn't allowed a run in his last three appearances since the meltdown in Anaheim, when he failed to retire a batter for the second time in four outings. Gregg gave up a single to J.P Arencibia on the first...

The Orioles will be facing Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Henderson Alvarez tonight. Let me know if you have a full scouting report. Don't skimp on the details. Jo-Jo Reyes will battle his former team. He's started against the Blue Jays once in his career and held them to one run over seven innings - and lost. I've been asked many times over the last few days about comments Michael Kay made on the YES Network during a recent Orioles-Yankees game. My head hurts from responding. And it's...

For those fans with a ticket to the Nationals' September 3 game against the Mets, you're in for a special treat. As part of the Washington Nationals Grand Slam Labor Day Weekend festivities, popular rock band Lifehouse will be on hand to perform a postgame concert on the field at Nationals Park. The concert will be immediately following Saturday's 7:05 p.m. game and is expected to last about an hour. Lifehouse has had several hits over their time on the music scene, including such songs...

The Orioles tied tonight's game in the bottom of the fourth on Robert Andino's two-out double and Toronto left-hander Brett Cecil's throwing error. The Blue Jays almost untied it in the top of the fifth, and they're still wondering how they botched that assignment. They loaded the bases with no outs against Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie on Eric Thomas' double, Matt Wieters' error and Adam Lind's single to right. Thomas was held at third, a smart decision given the situation and right...

Here is a question worth asking? How come Matt Wieters all the sudden owns left-handed pitchers? Last year, Wieters hit .210 with an OPS of .564 against southpaws and this year he is batting .340 with an OPS of 1.027 against lefties. And that was before he hit a two-run homer in the second inning tonight off Toronto lefty Brett Cecil to pull the O s within 3-2 of the Jays. It was Wieters 15th homer of the year, his fourth in eight games and traveled 408 feet to center field. On the year,...
