PHILADELPHIA – The Nationals needed a win today. Entering this finale against the Phillies, they were losers of four straight and five of their last six. They were also in danger of suffering their eighth sweep of the season, fifth on the road. It took a total team effort to finally get that elusive win. But they got it as the Nationals escaped Cit

The first Red Sox batter to put a ball in play this afternoon lined it directly into Albert Suárez’s glove. It wasn’t a screamer at 64 mph. It was, however, a good indicator of what the Orioles were getting again from their rotation replacement. Suárez would keep denying Boston’s hitters and he’d do so in his usual quiet fashion. The Orioles’ offen

On this homestand against Washington and Boston that ends today, the Orioles won Wednesday and Thursday, allowing one run each game. But they have lost the other three games, allowing nine, 12 and five runs. From April 24, 2023 to June 20, 2024, the Orioles went 22 straight series against American League East teams without losing one. That was the

PHILADELPHIA – The Nationals need to get their offense going in Sunday’s finale against the Phillies. Over the first three games of this four-game series, they’ve been outscored 21-6 and outhit 37-21. As has been the case for most of this season, the offense goes as CJ Abrams goes. And right now, the young shortstop is struggling at the plate. “He'

The Orioles elevated Eloy Jiménez to the cleanup spot for this afternoon’s series finale against the Red Sox. Jarren Duran robbed Jiménez of a home run last night with a leaping catch at the center field fence in the ninth inning. Jiménez is 14-for-33 (.424) with the Orioles. Adley Rutschman returns to the lineup after pinch-hitting last night. He

PHILADELPHIA – The Nationals need one today. Ideally, it would be a total team effort: Strong starting pitching, a lot of run support and a shutdown bullpen. But honestly, it doesn’t matter how they get it. They just need to win. Luckily, the guy that gives them the best chance to do that is taking the mound this afternoon. Jake Irvin makes his 26t

The Orioles recalled reliever Colin Selby this morning from Triple-A Norfolk as the replacement for Cade Povich, who was optioned following last night’s 5-1 loss to the Red Sox.

After Westburg's injury and Mayo's demotion, O's turn to steady Ramón Urías at third

When you ask Orioles manager Brandon Hyde how much he appreciates Ramón Urías for his dependability at a variety of times in a variety of roles this season, he reminds everyone this is not new. “The last few years,” said Hyde. “Ramón is the same guy, every single day," he said. "Whether he is playing or not playing. Whether he hasn’t played in thre
Hyde on Kimbrel: "I'm going to continue to try"

The Orioles’ approach to fixing Craig Kimbrel isn’t working. A second reset hasn’t landed him back in the closer’s role. Fresh ideas aren’t in abundance. Manager Brandon Hyde intends to keep going down the same lower-leverage path with Kimbrel and hope for improved results. He can’t avoid using the nine-time All-Star and play shorthanded in the bul
