The regression that’s so common with major league bullpens from one year to the next, deserving of an attached warning label each spring, hasn’t impacted the Orioles. Relievers in the first month are immune to it. Can’t touch them. Being an exception really defies logic when factoring the loss of veterans Dillon Tate and Mychal Givens to injuries.

NEW YORK – The Nationals were looking for an encore from another one of their young starting pitchers after Josiah Gray tossed six scoreless innings against the Mets last night. Next up in the rotation was MacKenzie Gore. And like Gray, he did not disappoint. After Tuesday’s dazzling performance by the young right-hander acquired in the trade of Ma

NEW YORK – If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Davey Martinez hasn’t really followed that motto through this season’s first 22 games, still tinkering with his lineup to find the right combination while also keeping matchups in mind on any given night. The Nationals have used 20 different batting orders through the first month of the season. Early on,

NEW YORK – After Josiah Gray dominated the Mets lineup and finally got some much-needed run support for a win last night, MacKenzie Gore will take the mound at Citi Field tonight looking to repeat the feat. Gore will face the Mets for the first time, with only tonight’s designated hitter Tommy Pham facing him before, hitting .400 in five at-bats. T

Tyler Wells had the stuff today when a situation called for it. Not at his fingertips throughout his start. Just enough to hold down his opponent. He just needed the support, both from his offense and the bullpen. It eventually comes. Wait for it. Wells matched his career high with seven strikeouts, and the Orioles broke a tie in the fourth by scor

After one comeback from four runs down that led to a win and one from seven behind that fell short, the Orioles (15-8) host the Boston Red Sox (13-12) today in the final game of a three-game series and six-game homestand. Baltimore is 4-1 this homestand after a series sweep of Detroit followed by Monday’s 5-4 win at Oriole Park and last night’s 8-6

Orioles outfielder Austin Hays has avoided the injured list after bruising his right hand last night while attempting a bunt in the third inning. Hays came out of the game after flying out to deep left field, and X-rays didn’t reveal any fractures. “Feels good, a lot better than last night,” said manager Brandon Hyde. “Pretty sore, a lot of bruisin

Austin Hays is out of today's lineup, as the Orioles try to win their sixth series of the year. Hays left last night’s game with a bruised right hand and is day-to-day. Terrin Vavra is in left field again after replacing Hays last night and collecting two singles. Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter, with Ryan O’Hearn at first base. Gunnar He

The Orioles hope they have outfielder Austin Hays available today for the series finale at Oriole Park against the Boston Red Sox. The clubs have split two games in this series and the Orioles' 8-6 loss Tuesday left their record at 15-8 and saw an end to their seven-game win streak. Hays bruised his right hand while attempting a bunt in the third i

NEW YORK – Dominic Smith is familiar with Citi Field. It’s the only home major league ballpark he’s ever known. That is at least until this season. For the first time in his career when he arrived at Citi Field yesterday for the Nationals’ opener against the Mets, he came down the tunnel from the team bus in the left field corner and entered the vi
