Brian Roberts is off to quite a start driving in runs. After his three RBI night in the 11-0 win Tuesday over Minnesota, Roberts now has a team-leading 14 RBI. Contrast that to the 2010 season, when Roberts had 15 RBI all season. He had 15 RBI in 59 games and 230 at bats a year ago and now has 14 RBI in 16 games and 69 at bats. Roberts delivered two clutch hits in the win with a two-run single in the 2nd for a 3-0 lead and an RBI double two innings later for a 4-0 lead which helped the O's...

I'll admit that I love that title. It's downright inspired. Let's hear from Jake Arrieta, who blanked the Twins on four hits over six innings and lowered his ERA to 5.06. Starter Jake Arrieta discusses picking up his second win of the season against the Twins "I think overall it was really good. When we score runs offensively, I think the biggest thing to do is not give up rebound runs. I think those are the biggest innings for guys, when your team puts some runs on the board for you,...

Manager Buck Showalter finally got to meet with reporters tonight after a win. It took long enough, but it happened. The eight-game losing streak has gone the way of the dodo bird. Buck Showalter talks with the media after the Orioles snap their eight-game losing streak Here are a few quotes from Showalter: "We strung a lot of good at-bats together, a lot of big two-out hits. Wieters had a good night. Matty had a clutch hit. Really, two of them. I thought the single to center kind of...

Robert Andino is 3-for-3 with a walk tonight. He has seven hits and two walks in his last 10 trips to the plate. Is that good? Derrek Lee singled twice tonight, but he fell to 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position after flying out in the eighth inning. Vladimir Guerrero followed with a three-run homer off former Twins closer Joe Nathan, making him 4-for-15. The Orioles have four extra-base hits this season with two outs and RISP. Three of them came tonight. Jason Berken tossed two...

After not hitting much and not winning for eight games, the Orioles' offense broke out Tuesday night at Camden Yards as the Birds beat Minnesota, 11-0 to end the eight-game losing streak. Brian Roberts and Matt Wieters combined for seven RBI, and Vladimir Guerrero added a three-run home run as the Orioles evened the series with the win and improved to 7-9 on the year. Tom Davis catches up with Matt Wieters following the Orioles' 11-0 win over the Twins Minnesota starter Carl Pavano had...

Jake Arrieta finished the sixth inning with his pitch count at 108 and Jason Berken warming in the bullpen. You have to figure that he's done for the night. Oriole starters have posted a 7.71 ERA during the eight-game losing streak, but Arrieta blanked the Twins on four hits. He walked three and struck out four. Arrieta got a huge double play bouncer from Michael Cuddyer after a one-out single by Jim Thome in the sixth. Two of Arrieta's three walks came in succession after Luke Hughes...

While there was some talk that first baseman Joe Mahoney could return from the disabled list and play tonight, he is not in the Bowie Baysox lineup and has still not been activated off the DL. Mahoney has been out since he played on April 9th for Double-A Bowie with a quad injury. It doesn't appear that the O's 2010 minor league Player of the Year will return tomorrow, but it's possible. A late-week return seems more likely. It is still a day-to-day type injury and no MRI or further tests...

Should Brian Roberts be batting third? How about cleanup? Roberts increased his team-leading RBI total to 14 with a two-out, run-scoring double in the fourth inning. Orioles 4, Twins 0. Once again, Carl Pavano got into trouble with two outs. He hit Matt Wieters and allowed a single to Robert Andino. Roberts followed with a double to right field that scored Wieters. Andino held at third. Roberts produced the Orioles' second extra-base hit this season with runners in scoring position and two...

After they went 0-for-9 the last two games and 2-for-20 the past three games with runners in scoring position, the Orioles got some big hits early tonight to lead Minnesota 3-0 in the third. After Carl Pavano breezed through a quick first inning on just seven pitches, the Orioles got to him for three runs on three hits in the last of the second. The rally started with a two-out, none-on infield hit to deep short by Adam Jones. After a walk, Matt Wieters delivered an RBI single to center....

Maybe you don't recognize it, but the Orioles have the lead tonight. Matt Wieters singled with two outs in the second inning to score Adam Jones, giving the Orioles a lead for the first time since the eighth inning of Thursday's game in New York. They hadn't been ahead for 39 consecutive innings. Did it seem that long? Robert Andino walked and Brian Roberts singled to deliver two more runs off Twins starter Carl Pavano, who retired the first two batters before Jones singled and Mark...
