Orioles manager Brandon Hyde strolled to the mound yesterday in the bottom of the 10th inning, had a lengthy chat with Austin Voth, and gave the reliever an encouraging slap on the butt. A teammate smacked his chest. The Orioles were battering Voth more than the Blue Jays. Whit Merrifield followed Matt Chapman’s strikeout with a run-scoring single

TORONTO – The Orioles got a weekend’s worth of solid outings from their starting rotation and right-hander Dean Kremer joined the party today at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. But with a couple of key relievers not expected to pitch today, could the O’s bullpen hold a late lead without Yennier Cano and Felix Bautista? They took a 2-1 lead to the last of

Much as major league managers wish it wasn’t so, the path to victory on any given day isn’t always going to be a straight one. The Nationals made life easy on Davey Martinez during Saturday’s low-drama win over the Tigers, getting a quality start from Patrick Corbin and clutch hits from the lineup to take the lead, allowing the skipper to use his t

TORONTO – The Orioles six-game AL East road trip is off to a great start. They have posted 6-2 and 6-5 wins in 10 innings at Toronto and they can sweep this series this afternoon at Rogers Centre. In the 2018 season, the Orioles went 0-10 at Rogers Centre and that was not even against a winning Toronto team. While the Orioles went 47-115 that year,

TORONTO – Reliever Mychal Givens rejoined the O’s roster today, activated off the 15-day injured list. He pitched recently in the minors on a rehab assignment. Before that, his last outing was March 16 in spring training. On March 30 he was placed on the IL with left knee inflammation. Givens said his knee responded fine during his six rehab games

Luis García’s day off Saturday was somewhat significant, though hardly big news. But when García’s name again wasn’t in the Nationals’ lineup for today’s series finale against the Tigers, it raised eyebrows. Is the Nats second baseman hurt? Is he being benched for lack of performance? “No,” manager Davey Martinez said this morning. “I had a convers

TORONTO - The Orioles are getting a reinforcement today for their heavily-used bullpen as right-hander Mychal Givens has been activated as the Orioles try to sweep Toronto today at Rogers Centre. Givens has not pitched in an O's game since March 16 in spring training. But today he comes off the 15-day injured list - he's been out with left knee inf

The Nationals ended a four-game losing streak Saturday with a solid, 5-2 victory over the Tigers. They’d love to make it two in a row today and take the weekend series in the process. The Nats have Josiah Gray on the mound, and that usually means they’re going to have an excellent chance of winning. The right-hander really has become their most rel

The Orioles have made the following roster moves:   - Reinstated RHP Mychal Givens from the 15-day Injured List (left knee inflammation). - Optioned LHP Cole Irvin to Triple-A Norfolk.

TORONTO – Perhaps it is fitting that on the one-year anniversary of catcher Adley Rutschman's arrival in the majors, the Orioles have a chance to sweep the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. The day they selected him No. 1 overall in the 2019 MLB Draft - Mike Elias' first O's draft pick - greatness was predicted. Pretty much expected.  Rutschman has deliv
