After a 22-game stretch of games against winning teams – one where the Orioles went 13-9 (.591) – they play a team with an under-.500 record today, hosting Cleveland (23-29) to open a three-game series at Oriole Park. The Orioles' 3-2 win over Texas on Sunday enabled them to take the final game of the series, avoid being swept three straight and a
The Orioles almost have their starter for Wednesday afternoon. Austin Voth is going to start or pitch in bulk relief behind an opener to conclude the series against the Guardians at Camden Yards. The club won’t call up a pitcher from Triple-A Norfolk and hand him the assignment. “We’re unsure a little bit on who’s going to start the game,” said man
Guaranteed of having another winning month, the Orioles continue their homestand today against the Guardians with Adley Rutschman on the bench and Austin Hays moved to second in the order.

Spenser Watkins can laugh about it now, accepting if not embracing his status in the world of bizarre injuries. Covered in dirt after attempting a diving tag at home plate on a wild pitch, Watkins stepped inside the team’s bathroom at Harbor Park in Norfolk to wash his hands. A simple task except Watkins cut his right ring finger on the bottom edge
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For as much progress as they’ve made this season, especially in the young pitching department, one achievement continues to elude the Nationals: The series sweep. You’ve probably heard this one by now, but to reiterate: The Nats have not swept a three-game series since June 2021 against the Pirates, and they haven’t swept a road
The Orioles didn’t need to change back into their regular uniforms. Hall of Famer Jim Palmer didn’t need to order a pancake for breakfast this morning in the press dining room before joining the MASN broadcast. One was scheduled, the other spontaneous. Purely coincidence that Kyle Bradish struck out the side in the top of the first inning and the O
During an outstanding season when they have played .635 baseball and have the third-best record in the major leagues, the Orioles (33-19) have lost only four series. They have not been swept in any of them. For the latter statement to remain true, they’ll have to beat the Texas Rangers (33-18) today. Texas has won the first two games of this series
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Nationals’ top prospect is moving one step closer to the major leagues. James Wood has been promoted from High-A Wilmington to Double-A Harrisburg, a source familiar with the move confirmed. The 20-year-old outfielder is slated to join the Senators for this evening’s series finale at Reading, then continue with them on this w
