NEW YORK – Sean Doolittle took a significant step forward in his rehab from a procedure on his left elbow. The left-hander, signed to a minor league deal and working out at the Nationals complex in West Palm Beach, finally faced live hitters in a batting practice session for the first time since the early portions of spring training. “Doolittle act

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde spent part of last night’s media session praising his hitters, saying it was the best offensive performance of the season beyond perhaps the first two games in Boston. “I mean, who loves no punchouts?” he asked, referring to Chris Sale’s inability to record a strikeout in five innings. “I do.” Red Sox manager Alex Cora

So this Orioles-Red Sox series got a bit more interesting today when O’s manager Brandon Hyde said comments that Boston manager Alex Cora made last night were “disrespectful to our hitters.” Cora seemed to grudgingly, if at all, give the Orioles credit for making such good contact on a night they did not strike out in their 5-4 comeback win over Bo

NEW YORK – The Nationals have arrived in the Big Apple for what is, oddly, just their second series against a division rival. The new schedule format implemented this season means they will face National League East opponents fewer times than in past years. This three-game set against the Mets will be their first against a division foe since the se

Cedric Mullins returns to the leadoff spot tonight and Austin Hays is lowered to eighth, as the Orioles try to secure another series win. Anthony Santander is the designated hitter and Adam Frazier is playing right field. Kyle Bradish tossed six scoreless innings in D.C. after leaving the injured list. He made five starts against the Red Sox last y

As he stood on the mound with one out in the bottom of the ninth Friday night in Minnesota, the potential tying run in scoring position and the potential winning run on base, Kyle Finnegan could’ve panicked about the jam he had just put himself and the Nationals in. Instead, he considered the best-case scenario that could play out if he could just

He just turned 19 in December and in 33 career pro baseball games, shortstop Jackson Holliday is batting .339/.503/.530/.1.033 with 11 doubles, a triple, three homers and 24 RBIs. There have been few, really no struggles, for Holliday yet on the Orioles' watch. But if he doesn’t tear it up initially as he now moves up from Low Single-A Delmarva to

Félix Bautista struck out Riley Greene on a 100 mph fastball Sunday afternoon to finish the top of the ninth inning, a pitch that didn’t coax a swing out of the Tigers’ center fielder. Akil Baddoo also struck out on a four-seamer after Jonathan Schoop grounded out. A crowd of more than 30,000 erupted, and the Orioles won in the 10th on a wild pitch

Do the Red Sox count as a soft portion of the schedule? They were a last-place team but with a record above .500 upon arriving in Baltimore. They began the season by winning a series against the Orioles. They led the majors with nine comeback victories. The Orioles claimed their eighth tonight.   Austin Hays delivered a tie-breaking single in the f

For the first time since April 9, the Orioles will face an American League East team tonight. They open a three-game home series versus the Boston Red Sox. The O’s (14-7) opened the 2023 season at Fenway Park, winning 10-9 before losses by 9-8 and 9-5 scores. They allowed Boston at least nine runs in three consecutive games. Contrast that with the
