SAN DIEGO – This won’t be as notable or awkward as it was last week in D.C., but the fact that Juan Soto and Josh Bell are facing the Nationals again this soon after a trade that is still only 16 days old is pretty remarkable. Who’d have thought the only two series between these two teams would come right at this juncture of the season? Can’t chang

The Orioles begin a seven-game homestand today, opening with a makeup game versus the Chicago Cubs. They play the Cubs for just this one game today and then host Boston for three and the Chicago White Sox for three more next week. This homestand includes Sunday night’s game when the Orioles host the Red Sox in Williamsport, Pa. in the Little League

Rookie Terrin Vavra is making his fourth start in the outfield this afternoon, and his first in right. Vavra keeps moving around, with three starts in left field and two at second base. He’s served as the designated hitter in six games. The Orioles like his versatility, but also want his bat in the lineup. Vavra is slashing .297/.391/.378 with a do

It’s a question that is being asked a lot nowadays.

The losses feel more damaging now for the Orioles as Birdland gets used to what it's like to follow a team in a pennant race again. The Orioles' last playoff berth was in 2016. The Orioles did take the first two games in Toronto as they won a series there for the first time since July 5-7, 2019. They had a chance to complete a sweep in Toronto for

While the Orioles keep working out Terrin Vavra at first base before games, the drills beginning Sunday at Tropicana Field, they’ve got shortstop Gunnar Henderson doing the same with Triple-A Norfolk. Taking ground balls, making throws from a new angle. Henderson is expected to receive some starts at first base this week, perhaps today against the

TORONTO - Brandon Hyde surely didn’t want to make two treks to the mound in the seventh inning. But he had little choice. Relievers Joey Krehbiel and Cionel Pérez had allowed five consecutive batters to reach base, and the game that had seemed winnable moments ago was slipping away at a frightening pace. After starter Austin Voth befuddled the Blue

The Nationals were able to chip away at a 4-1 Cubs lead on Tuesday night. Home runs by Luke Voit and Lane Thomas in the eight inning sent the game to extras. CJ Abrams’ first hit and RBI as a National extended the game to the 11th. Even in an eventual loss, the boys battled multiple times. Try as they might, there was no late-inning rally Wednesday
