NEW YORK – The Nationals limp into Game 162 of the season with a battered and bruised lineup that won’t include CJ Abrams, Victor Robles or Nelson Cruz.

O’s shortstop Jorge Mateo is the c

The Orioles can’t get away clean. They must play a doubleheader against the Blue Jays today before scattering for the offseason. Mike Baumann starts Game 1 after yesterday’s rainout. So, to review: Baumann is making his fourth start and 13th appearance. He’s completed four innings in his two starts since being plugged into the rotation on Sept. 24,

The Orioles have made the following roster move: Added LHP Nick Vespi from Triple-A Norfolk to serve as the 29th man for today’s doubleheader.
