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.

John Means wanted to make one more throw with a weighted medical ball, put a little extra behind it, before concluding his workout in Sarasota and heading to Baltimore. Go a little harder with his body feeling so good and with a July return to the Orioles becoming a firmer reality. And then, the pain hit him. A strained muscle in his upper back, an

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – This isn’t the first time this has been written this season (or last season, for that matter), but the Nationals have a chance today to complete their first three-game sweep since June 2021, and their first chance to sweep a three-game road series since August 2019. The fact this isn’t the first time this has been written tells y

The Orioles will try to avoid a sweep today and recapture the second-best record in baseball with Anthony Santander back in the lineup as the right fielder and cleanup hitter. Santander didn’t play yesterday. Ramón Urías is the second baseman and Gunnar Henderson is playing third. Adam Frazier moves to the bench. James McCann is the designated hitt

At age 27 and after two previous seasons seeing some big league time, it appears things are finally starting to click for right-hander Mike Baumann. He was drafted by the club in round three of the 2017 MLB Draft and has been ranked among the Orioles' top 30 prospects coming up through the minors. He was ranked as high as Baltimore's No. 8 prospect

BARCS’ BFF Waggin’ will be at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Sunday, May 28 and Monday, May 29 for fans looking to adopt a dog or cat. The mobile adoption vehicle will be parked at Maryland Square, located near Gate A.  Over the past week, BARCS has taken in more than 300 new animals, putting them in a state of emergency. In order to help these ani

David Hess declared himself cancer free on Jan. 20, 2022, posting on social media that he was “cured” and cleared to resume baseball activities. He could pitch again. Immerse himself in one of his passions. The disease doesn’t choose favorites. It came back to Hess after he appeared in eight minor league games last season in the Rays’ system. And i
