CHICAGO – The Orioles have posted a 13-9 record in June, with a chance for their first winning month since August 2017. They haven’t gone .500 since July 2019. They’ve built a 20-15 record since May 19, which is their best 35-game stretch in five years. They have a chance today to post their first five-game winning streak since taking seven in a ro

ARLINGTON, Texas – The only question Josiah Gray needs to answer at this still-early stage of his career is that of consistency. We already know the young right-hander has the ability on any given day to be a successful big leaguer. And we know he’s capable of stringing together several top-notch starts in a row. Gray just needs to prove now he can

CHICAGO – In the ever-changing world of the Orioles’ starting rotation, Spenser Watkins is back in it and Austin Voth receives at least temporary housing as the Orioles stretch him out. This is how they do it. Try to find a set five and be ready to scramble. Bruce Zimmermann was optioned and Kyle Bradish went on the 15-day injured list. Dean Kremer

Consistency has been hallmark of García's recent success

Nationals
ARLINGTON, Texas – There’s a lot to like about Luis García’s offensive performance this month, and maybe the thing to like the most is that there is so much to like. García has excelled in just about every significant situation since the Nationals called him up from Triple-A Rochester on June 1. He enters today’s game against the Rangers batting .3

O's game blog: Looking for another victory in Chicago
Steve Melewski
Orioles
After posting wins by 4-0 and 4-1 the last two nights, the Orioles look for another victory in Chicago against the White Sox this afternoon. The game is expected to start late due to rain, and no official start time has been announced as of this writing. A win would give the Orioles (33-39) both a series victory and a four-game winning streak for t

Game 74 lineups: Nats at Rangers
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Nationals rotation has actually put together a nice run here lately. In four of the last five games, their starters have surrendered one total earned run (by Paolo Espino in his final inning Friday night). The lone outlier was Patrick Corbin, who despite his struggles still only gave up three runs in four innings Wednesday in

Both teams have been informed that today’s game will begin in a delay, with the start time closer to 2 p.m. local time. Jonathan Araúz is starting at second base today in his Orioles debut.

Why the Nats now give young pitchers midseason breaks
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
ARLINGTON, Texas – Among the most pertinent questions facing the Nationals over the season’s final 3 1/2 months involve their top two pitching prospects. How soon will Cade Cavalli make his major league debut? And will Cole Henry make his in 2022? The bad news: Neither is currently pitching for Triple-A Rochester, each having just been shut down fo
