None of the trio pitched for a big-time SEC school or were a high draft pick. One reaches the backend of a top 30 O's prospects list. But in an organization without a lot of touted, high-draft pick pitching, they are trying to make their way to Baltimore. And with the starts that right-handers Alex Pham, Jean Pinto and Ryan Long have gotten off to

Let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we? It’s hard not to as the Nationals make their first visit to Houston since winning the 2019 World Series in Game 7 at Minute Maid Park. And I don’t really like reminiscing too much about something that happened four years ago. There have been three different World Series champions since the Nats won it a

Outfielder Aaron Hicks is expected to stay in the Orioles’ lineup tonight for the series opener against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. His knack for reaching base is keeping him off the bench. Hicks is 10-for-29 since the Yankees released him, with two doubles, one triple, one home run and seven walks. He’s batting .345/.472/.586 and has gotten on

The Orioles could send a catcher to the All-Star Game for the first time since 2016 and have their first healthy starter at the position in 36 years. Adley Rutschman is the leader in voting in the American League at 460,496 to give him a comfortable margin over the Rangers’ Jonah Heim (320,028), a former Orioles minor leaguer. The Royals’ Salvador

It was only a matter of time before James Wood made a big splash at Double-A Harrisburg. After getting the promotion for High-A Wilmington on May 28, he only collected one hit over his first three Double-A games. He’s been on a tear ever since. Since the start of June, the Nats’ top prospect is 11-for-37 with four doubles, three home runs, eight RB

Every year it seems like some of the biggest winning clubs in baseball have players succeed throughout their roster. Not only the roster of 26 players but many more that contribute in a myriad ways over the long season of 162 games. The Orioles are getting that right now and it was on display in Sunday’s 11-3 victory that completed a three-game swe

When breaking down the differences between his time with Triple-A Norfolk this year compared to the majors, the stuff that really stood out to him, Cole Irvin’s mind immediately went to the obvious contrast. The one that might stand alone and made him smile. He couldn’t resist. “I think the postgame celebrations are slightly different,” he quipped.

The Orioles’ 22nd comeback win of the season was planted today in the top of the first inning, uprooted and planted again in the third. The team that digs in and finds a way. The Royals used an opener while trying to avoid being swept. The Orioles used another variation of their lineup, sitting some regulars and toying again with the order. Their m

ATLANTA – It was raining heavily here this morning. There was a point when the forecast didn’t look conducive to playing baseball. But the rain cleared out, the tarp was removed from the infield and this afternoon’s finale between the Nationals and Braves went off without a hitch. And as the clouds cleared out for sunny skies, so did the clouds tha

From April 21-23, the Orioles swept three straight at home from Detroit, beating the Tigers by a combined 9-3 score. From May 19-21 they swept three at Toronto, outscoring the Blue Jays 20-10. Today they can complete a three-game sweep of Kansas City if they win this afternoon at Oriole Park.  The Orioles (40-24) have beaten the Royals by 3-2 and 6
