In case you missed it, Washington Nationals were honored by MLB as the 2022 Green Glove Award finalist for the National League East. The team led the division in waste diversion, which is done through practices such as recycling, composting, food donations and energy recovery. This is the third year in a row that the Nationals have received this ho
KANSAS CITY – As the Orioles road trip moves on to Atlanta tonight, it’s going to be a special weekend for 21-year-old rookie Gunnar Henderson. He is very proud of his hometown of Selma, Ala. and the feeling is very, very mutual. And that small town, where Henderson was raised and grew to love the game of baseball playing on a field his dad built a
Just over 30 games into the season, who would you guess would be the Nationals’ RBI and slugging percentage leader? Probably one of their power hitters like Joey Meneses or Dominic Smith. Or maybe even one of their better contact hitters like Jeimer Candelario or Keibert Ruiz. Any one of them would be a good guess, especially considering how high u
The Orioles are two-thirds through their road trip and keep winning more than they lose, which seems like a solid plan the rest of the way. Is it always pretty? Not even close to that, but what matters is the final score and a 21-10 record. They didn’t win their 21st game last season until May 30 in Boston. They had 29 losses and nobody was predict
KANSAS CITY – After the top of the third today, the Orioles were enjoying an 8-1 lead against the Kansas City Royals and former teammate Jordan Lyles. Maybe this would be their rare laughter - a blowout with no late game or even mid-game drama. Nope. By the end of the Kansas City fourth, the Royals were hitting rookie right-hander Grayson Rodriguez
The Nationals are enjoying the last three games at home after entering this homestand with a sub-.500 record on South Capitol Street and having dropped two of three to the Pirates over the weekend and the series opener to the Cubs on Monday. But it all came together these last three days in the forms of a 4-1 win Tuesday, a 2-1 win yesterday and a
KANSAS CITY – The Orioles had won three in a row, five of six, 12 of 14 and 16 of their past 20 games until they were shutout for the first time this year, 6-0 last night at Kansas City. So Baltimore (20-10) play the series finale at Kauffman Stadium this afternoon and it is their fifth rubber game of the year. They lost their first two – at
KANSAS CITY – Outfielder Austin Hays is out of the Orioles lineup for the second day in a row and he did not play at all in the game last night. But Hays said he was available then and is today as well as he continues to deal with a bruised right middle finger. He initially injured the finger on a bunt attempt in the recent home series versus Bosto
Jake Irvin had a solid major league debut Wednesday for the Nationals. It wasn’t anything too spectacular, nor was it expected to be. A promising pitcher in his own right, he didn’t come with the pedigree of his former University of Oklahoma teammate Cade Cavalli. And his debut definitely didn’t come with the pomp and circumstance that surrounded t
The Orioles are sending Grayson Rodriguez to the mound this afternoon in Kansas City while trying to claim their seventh series. Rodriguez is working on regular rest after starting Game 2 of Saturday’s doubleheader in Detroit and earning his first major league win with a career-high nine strikeouts. He hasn’t allowed a run in 14 straight innings go
