One swing, one slam: Will it have big meaning for the O's down the stretch?

It was a massive swing. It turned a loss into a win, brought over 39,000 to their feet and perhaps turned a season spiraling the wrong way back into a solid direction. How much meaning will that one swing have? Since they last won three in a row - from July 14-20, wrapping around the All-Star break - the Orioles have had five win streaks of two gam

The bond between outfielder Nick Markakis and hitting coach Terry Crowley really began to develop early in the 2006 season. The former Orioles first-round draft pick was struggling as a rookie.

That offense has produced just three hits in back-to-back games with three runs in those two games. Batters went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The Astros pitched their ninth sh

ATLANTA – Davey Martinez laughed as he recalled his one and only playing experience against Randy Johnson. On May 24, 1998, the inaugural Devil Rays franchise faced the Mariners at the Kingdome, with the Big Unit on the mound for Seattle. Tampa Bay’s regular lineup featured two Hall of Famers in Fred McGriff and Wade Boggs. Neither of whom played t
