The Nationals entered today’s series finale against the Brewers with a suddenly resurgent lineup and a piecemeal pitching plan that needed to come together if they wanted to pull off their first three-game sweep of the season. Who would’ve thought the pitching part of the equation would be the least of their concerns? While Paolo Espino, Evan Lee a

The Orioles have made the following roster move: Placed INF Chris Owings on unconditional release waivers.

Everything has felt normal for Stephen Strasburg since his season debut Thursday night, so the right-hander is good to remain on a five-day schedule and start Tuesday against the Braves at Nationals Park. Strasburg emerged from his 83-pitch start in Miami and his subsequent workouts with no issues, giving club officials more reason to be optimistic

The Orioles have a chance to split their four-game series at Kansas City with a win today at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals won the first two games of the series before the O’s picked up the 6-4 victory Saturday as Adley Rutschman produced his first career three-hit game and Tyler Nevin hit a go-ahead, three-run homer. Rutschman hit three balls at 10

KANSAS CITY - A shock of bright blonde hair shone in the Orioles clubhouse this morning.  Kyle Stowers is hard to miss. The Orioles’ No. 8 prospect, per MLBPipeline.com, will join the taxi squad when the team heads north of the border to play the Blue Jays this week. “He’s having a good year at Triple-A,” manager Brandon Hyde said in Kauffman Stadi

The Orioles are trying to gain a split of their four-game series in Kansas City today with Dean Kremer making his second start since leaving the injured list.

Paolo Espino has pitched in 20 games for the Nationals this season, totaling 26 2/3 innings. He’s produced a sparkling 2.03 ERA and 1.013 WHIP, striking out 20 while walking only four. He’s been one of the team’s most effective pitchers through 61 games. Except every one of his appearances has come either with the Nats leading or trailing by at lea

He is still looking for his first big league homer and RBI. But Adley Rutschman now has his first three-hit game, and it came during Saturday’s 6-4 win over Kansas City. It helped to give the Orioles a much-needed victory and a chance to split the four-game series with a win this afternoon at Kauffman Stadium. Rutschman began the game batting .153/

Heston Kjerstad was making his second visit to Maryland after flying in from the spring training complex in Sarasota to begin working out with the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds. Taking his rounds of batting practice and waiting for the Orioles to activate him. In an unfamiliar setting that just seemed right to him. He noticed it again as he walked t

KANSAS CITY - Anthony Santander appeared almost reluctant to don the Orioles’ home run chain Friday night. After sneaking a meaningless solo home run inside Kauffman Stadium’s right field foul pole in the ninth inning of an 8-1 loss, Santander accepted the plastic chain with all the gravitas of a weathered monarch. Tyler Nevin showed no such hesita
