HOUSTON – Orioles manager Brandon Hyde believes the start by right-hander Kyle Bradish against Houston last night was the best of the year by an O’s starting pitcher. Bradish threw eight scoreless innings, allowing just two singles on 96 pitches in the 2-0 series-opening win. He gave the Orioles quality and quantity. He shut down a great offense an

The Nationals announced two minor, but noteworthy, roster moves before their second game of this weekend series against the Reds. Yadiel Hernandez was transferred to the 60-day injured list, ending his season while he still recovers from a left calf strain. He was placed on the 10-day IL on Aug. 20 (retroactive to Aug. 19), but his calf was not hea

The Orioles won last night and remained 2 ½ games back for the last wild card after the Mariners defeated the Guardians in 11 innings. Gain ground on two teams ahead of them, with the Blue Jays and Rays losing, but also stay planted in the same spot. Kyle Bradish tossed eight scoreless innings with only two hits allowed, Dillon Tate struck out Trey

Now that the dust has settled from Cade Cavalli’s major league debut, the Nationals turn their attention to trying to win this series against the Reds. They need to bounce back tonight after last night’s loss. Paolo Espino makes his fifth career appearance against the Reds tonight, but just his first away from Cincinnati. He’s 1-0 with a 2.93 ERA o

HOUSTON – Behind a pitching staff that seems to be finding a higher gear in recent days, the Orioles have pulled off, on back-to-back days, two of their most impressive wins during a year filled with such games. The latest surprising result was their 2-0 shutout of Houston Friday night in front of 31,035 at Minute Maid Park. The Astros were held to

It did not come with the fanfare and electricity of Stephen Strasburg’s major league debut on the same mound in 2010. There were not 40,315 fans on their feet for the duration of the game. There was no national audience nor local news channel cameras packing the press box. And the end result was certainly not the same. No, Cade Cavalli’s major leag

The Orioles wanted veteran starter Jordan Lyles to be durable and dependable. To make each start, push past the middle innings and give his club a chance to win. They sought his leadership on an inexperienced staff. And they were willing to sign him for $7 million guaranteed with a $11 club option for 2023. How’s it working out? “I think he’s excee

HOUSTON – For an Orioles team searching many nights for offense recently, one swing can make a big difference. It did on Thursday night and Kyle Stowers was the hitter then. It did Friday night in the series opener at Houston and Ramón Urías had the huge swing. The Orioles third baseman broke up a 0-0 tie and ended a night of mostly frustration on

They watched Cade Cavalli take the mound at 7:05 p.m. on a muggy August evening in the nation’s capital with the kind of anticipation that only comes when a highly rated pitching prospect makes his major league debut. And when he departed 93 minutes later, all anyone in attendance at Nationals Park could do was feel some mixed combination of emotio

HOUSTON – The Orioles begin a tough two-city road trip tonight when they play the Houston Astros in the first of three games at Minute Maid Park. Houston holds the best record in the American League, and after three games there the Orioles play three at Cleveland against the American League Central leading Guardians. The Orioles return home a week
