It is a stretch that includes a one-inning outing from an opener and three-inning outing last night. But Orioles starting pitchers have thrown to a 1.38 ERA over their last six games. And that has allowed the team to go 3-3 in those games, even though they scored just 18 runs in this span. Suddenly, the Orioles are playing some low-scoring, close games. They won ... read more
The zeros on the night finally ended in the Baltimore seventh. But up until then, Texas right-hander Jordan Lyles was keeping the Orioles off the board.

What a moment for center fielder Cedric Mullins last night as he became the Orioles’ first player to hit 30 or more homers while stealing 30 or more bases in a single season. His three-run shot in the second inning was an important homer too, a three-run shot that fans call a Weaver. It gave the Orioles a 4-2 lead on Texas. They let the ... read more
That was a very tough way for a season to end for the Double-A Bowie Baysox.

Akron, down 5-0, scored four runs in the eighth and two in the ninth to stun Bowie and end ... read more
