This might have been one of the best feel-good nights of the year around Birdland. O’s fans could watch and see a lot to like about the Orioles' latest win. The Birds blanked the Chicago White Sox 4-0 last night, pitching a second straight shutout and recording their third shutout in the last six games. The O’s picked up an impressive win against t
On June 19, 2005, the first-place Nationals defeated the Rangers 8-2 thanks to a five-run rally in the top of the eighth highlighted by a bases-loaded double by Brad Wilkerson that scored Junior Spivey, Brian Schneider and Cristian Guzman. Sun-Woo Kim was the starting pitcher that afternoon, with Travis Hughes, Luis Ayala and Gary Majewski followin
CHICAGO – The identity of Saturday’s starter wasn’t expected to be revealed until that morning. The way it’s happened with the Orioles in the past. Everyone loves tradition. Manager Brandon Hyde surprised the media late last night by breaking his own news. Rookie Kyle Bradish is pushed back to Saturday. Austin Voth is leading another bullpen game t
CHICAGO – Where starts used to get away from Dean Kremer, they now remain under his control. It’s such a startling change, the aggression, command and confidence thrusting him back into discussions about the future of the Orioles rotation. Kremer followed his six scoreless innings in his last start with 5 2/3 tonight, Adley Rutschman hit his second
The Orioles' latest road trip begins this evening and it’s a long trek. They will play 10 games over the next 11 days in Chicago, Seattle and Minnesota, beginning tonight at the White Sox. The Orioles (31-39) just completed a 3-2 homestand, where they won two of three versus the Rays and went 1-1 against the Nationals. The Orioles have been playing
CHICAGO – Rougned Odor is out of tonight’s lineup with some stiffness in his back. He could be available off the bench. Odor pinch-hit for Richie Martin last night and struck out. He felt the discomfort on one swing and dropped to his knee. Martin is starting tonight at second base. Odor normally would be playing against White Sox right-hander John
CHICAGO – Richie Martin is starting at second base and Rougned Odor is on the bench for tonight’s series opener against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. Odor usually starts against right-handers, and the White Sox are sending Johnny Cueto to the mound. Tyler Nevin is starting at third base. Anthony Santander is in left field and Austin Hays
CHICAGO – The infield depth at the higher levels of the minor league system cost Patrick Dorrian a place in the Orioles organization. Dorrian, on Triple-A Norfolk’s roster, was traded to the Brewers this afternoon for cash considerations. The Orioles acquired Dorrian from the Pirates on June 26, 2019 to complete the May 27 trade of pitcher Yefry Ra
A Nationals club that was exhausted from a brutal stretch of 14 games in 13 days not long ago is now about to enjoy its second day off this week. Some schedule, huh? Nevertheless, nobody's complaining about this quirk, because they desperately needed it. After completing a two-game series in Baltimore, the Nats took a late-night flight to Texas and
Having two shortstop prospects on the same roster and in the same lineup requires one consistent plan on how to handle their development. Manager Kyle Moore experienced it with Double-A Bowie. Buck Britton is doing the same at Triple-A Norfolk. Britton doesn’t have Joey Ortiz and Adam Hall to consider, but there’s still a pleasant excess. Gunnar He
