All three outs recorded by Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka in the first inning came on long fly balls into a strong wind. Ty Wigginton looked like he had a three-run homer, but the ball died near the wall in left-center field as Brian Roberts tagged up and took third base. Luke Scott followed with a drive to center field that scored Roberts and produced his 68th RBI. And Matt Wieters ended the inning by coming within a few feet of a home run to right field, former Oriole Darnell McDonald...

Since B.J. Ryan allowed a three-run walk-off homer to David Ortiz on June 2, 2005, the Orioles are 10-36 at Fenway Park and have lost 17 of their last 20 on Yawkey Way. No way! The Orioles have not won consecutive games at Fenway Park since taking four in a row from Sept. 23, 2004 to May 30, 2005. In Brian Matusz's last five starts covering 28 innings, only 17 runners have reached second base - including seven in a Sept. 6 game in New York. He's 4-0 with a 1.93 ERA in those...

As the O's depart from the Yard for their last road trip of the 2010 season, we'll stick around Oriole Park a little longer here in the Orioles Buzz for another round of 'Where in the Yard?'. This week's image is something I've probably walked by a hundred times without noticing until I found myself on a hunt for more unique images from around the Birds' ballpark. So we'll see if you're more observant than I was... As always, take a look at the photo below and let us know what the...

There have been some questions, at times, about his defense, but Ryan Adams can hit. The 23-year-old, O's second-round pick out of Louisiana high school in 2006 hammered that point home big time this year at Double-A Bowie. At times, he hammered Eastern League pitching, batting .298-15-68 with 43 doubles and an .829 OPS. Adams led or tied for the league lead in hits, doubles and extra-base hits and finished tied for 8th in batting average. "Feel like the season went well. I put a lot of...

It's almost that time. With just thirteen Nationals games left on the schedule and only ten left at Nationals Park, it's time to say goodbye to ballpark friends and bring this season to a close. This week, don't forget to pick up a raffle ticket to "Jerseys Off Their Backs," which benefits the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation. Winners will receive a game-worn jersey on Sunday, Sept 26 during a special post-game ceremony. The final two giveaways of the season include a Mr....

Maybe there's no such thing as a big win on Sept. 19 when you're in last place, but it sure felt like one yesterday. Rather than being swept by the Yankees with a nine-game road trip approaching, the Orioles had an extra bounce in their collective steps as they headed out the door. They lost the series to the Yankees, but it didn't seem that way as rows and rows of New Yorkers streamed for the exits after Luke Scott scored on Ty Wigginton's 11th-inning single. Finally, they had been...

The Nationals instructional league team has completed their first weekend of work in Viera, Florida, with game one set for Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. Bryce Harper had a good opening three days, getting started in the pros with his new teammates and coaches. Nationals hitting instructor Rick Schu says the team's number one pick should have no trouble switching from his familiar catching spot to the outfield. "He can catch. He can play infield, he can play outfield," Schu said....

Some O's post-game quotes after their 4-3, 11-inning win over the Yankees in a game they trailed 3-1 heading to the last of the eighth. It's just the Yankees second loss all year when leading after eight innings and they are now 77-2 in those situations. The Orioles are now 3-79 when trailing after eight frames. Luke Scott's homer in the ninth off Mariano Rivera was just the second he has allowed this year. The other was vs. Minnesota's Jason Kubel on May 16. Scott had been 1 for 12 vs....
