Tyler Wells had the stuff today when a situation called for it. Not at his fingertips throughout his start. Just enough to hold down his opponent. He just needed the support, both from his offense and the bullpen. It eventually comes. Wait for it. Wells matched his career high with seven strikeouts, and the Orioles broke a tie in the fourth by scor
After one comeback from four runs down that led to a win and one from seven behind that fell short, the Orioles (15-8) host the Boston Red Sox (13-12) today in the final game of a three-game series and six-game homestand. Baltimore is 4-1 this homestand after a series sweep of Detroit followed by Monday’s 5-4 win at Oriole Park and last night’s 8-6
Orioles outfielder Austin Hays has avoided the injured list after bruising his right hand last night while attempting a bunt in the third inning. Hays came out of the game after flying out to deep left field, and X-rays didn’t reveal any fractures. “Feels good, a lot better than last night,” said manager Brandon Hyde. “Pretty sore, a lot of bruisin
Austin Hays is out of today's lineup, as the Orioles try to win their sixth series of the year. Hays left last night’s game with a bruised right hand and is day-to-day. Terrin Vavra is in left field again after replacing Hays last night and collecting two singles. Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter, with Ryan O’Hearn at first base. Gunnar He
The Orioles hope they have outfielder Austin Hays available today for the series finale at Oriole Park against the Boston Red Sox. The clubs have split two games in this series and the Orioles' 8-6 loss Tuesday left their record at 15-8 and saw an end to their seven-game win streak. Hays bruised his right hand while attempting a bunt in the third i
NEW YORK – Dominic Smith is familiar with Citi Field. It’s the only home major league ballpark he’s ever known. That is at least until this season. For the first time in his career when he arrived at Citi Field yesterday for the Nationals’ opener against the Mets, he came down the tunnel from the team bus in the left field corner and entered the vi
Dillon Tate made it back on a mound last night beyond the tedious bullpen sessions and simulated action. He was allowed to face hitters on an opposing team in a game that counted, beginning his injury rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen and allowing one run and two hits with two strikeouts in the fifth inning. The Orioles will give Tate four or f
NEW YORK – Every Josiah Gray start so far this season has resulted in a loss. Both for the Nationals and the right-hander himself. That’s not all on Gray, however. Take away his rough first outing against the Braves and he has been excellent over his last three, pitching to a 2.16 ERA and only one home run allowed. That stretch of dominance carried
Kyle Bradish issued a walk and took a brief stroll. Off the mound and toward first base, his eyes locked for a moment on plate umpire Adrian Johnson. His frustration at a non-strike call leading him to take a break before the pitch clock started again. No distance covered was going to fix Bradish’s night. He couldn’t get far enough away from it. Br
As the Orioles host Boston tonight in Game 2 of a three-game series, they will send out right-hander Kyle Bradish (1-0, 0.00) to make his third start. Those first two starts came 16 days apart because he was hit by a liner in Texas and went on the injured list between those two. The second was last Wednesday in Washington. Bradish threw six scorele
