Rutschman scratched from Orioles lineup

The Orioles made a change to their lineup about 10 minutes before first pitch. Adley Rutschman was scratched due to lower back discomfort. He was supposed to lead off for the third time this season. Colton Cowser returns to the top spot against Red Sox left-hander Brennan Bernardino, an opener who is expected to be replaced by right-hander Cooper C

O's game blog: Corbin Burnes faces the Red Sox in Game 2 of series

For the Orioles recently, the three-game win streak has been elusive. They last won three straight from July 14-20 when they ended the first half by beating the Yankees and started the second half with two in a row over the Rangers. Since then the Orioles have won back-to-back games four times, but each time lost the next game.  But after beating W

Call returns to leadoff spot vs. righty as Abrams works on hitting breaking balls

PHILADELPHIA – With Alex Call’s resurgence at the plate since his call-up from Triple-A Rochester, Nationals manager Davey Martinez has toyed with the idea of platooning him and CJ Abrams in the leadoff spot. The right-handed Call would lead off against left-handed starting pitchers and the lefty Abrams would lead off against righties. But tonight,

Left-hander Cade Povich is with the Orioles and expected to start Saturday night against the Red Sox. He’s spending tonight on the taxi squad with no indication from the club that he’s staying beyond the weekend. Manager Brandon Hyde explained in his media session that Povich “potentially” would join the active roster and pitch Saturday and Albert

Game 123 lineups: Nats at Phillies

PHILADELPHIA – “This one I'm going to flush.” That was manager Davey Martinez after last night’s 13-3 loss to the Phillies. And yeah, let’s forget about that one. The Nationals look to bounce back tonight with Patrick Corbin on the mound. There are only a handful of starts left for the veteran left-hander in a Nats uniform, so we don’t need to revi

Adley Rutschman is leading off tonight against Red Sox left-hander Brennan Bernardino, who’s only made two starts among his 44 appearances and will serve as an opener. Colton Cowser moves down to fifth in the order. Eloy Jiménez is the designated hitter. Ramón Urías makes another start at third base. Corbin Burnes makes his 25th start for the Oriol

Birdland is wishing and hoping that the Orioles can get on a strong roll the rest of this season. With last night's 5-1 win over Boston, they are 72-50 and now it's a 40-game sprint to the finish to win the American League East. Looking for their first seasons with back-to-back AL East championships since 1973 and 1974, the defending division champ
Nats need to start closing gap within division

Nationals
PHILADELPHIA – The Nationals have made progress this year, no doubt. For the most part, the young pitching staff has made strides. CJ Abrams was an All-Star. Jacob Young is the favorite to win the National League Gold Glove Award in center field. Luis García Jr. and Keibert Ruiz are having strong second halves. And a crop of newly acquired young ta

Tracking Liván Soto with the Orioles is becoming a full-time job. They claimed him twice on waivers and lost him twice. They traded for him at the deadline, optioned him immediately, recalled him Aug. 1 and optioned him the next day while selecting Coby Mayo’s contract, and recalled him again yesterday while optioning Mayo.

PHILADELPHIA – Mitchell Parker has been the Nationals’ biggest surprise this season. Entering the year, he was a middle-of-the-pack prospect who was called upon to make his major league debut three weeks into the season. And here he is in mid-August with the second-best ERA in the Nats rotation. That was, however, until tonight. Parker entered his

Zach Eflin made one mistake pitch, and it wasn’t egregious. Gunnar Henderson corrected it with one swing. Henderson lined a two-run homer onto the flag court in right field in the fourth inning to give the Orioles a lead, Cedric Mullins padded it in the fifth, and Eflin registered another quality start with his new team in a 5-1 victory over the Re

The Orioles who have lost only two American League East series this year - one to the Yankees, one to the Blue Jays - get back into division play tonight when they host Boston to start a four-game series at Oriole Park.

PHILADELPHIA – José Tena has returned to the Nationals lineup for tonight’s series opener against the Phillies after missing the two-game set against the Orioles with a thumb injury. The 23-year-old infielder, who the Nats acquired from the Guardians in the Lane Thomas trade, couldn’t handle a sharp grounder hit right at him in the fourth inning of
Hyde on Mayo: “I think it’s actually a positive experience that he had up here"

Jackson Holliday played in 10 games in his first stop in the majors before the Orioles sent him down. Coby Mayo made it to seven. They hit .059, with Holliday going 2-for-34 and Mayo 1-for-17. The Orioles want to see other similarities. Holliday was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, hit a grand slam in his first game and homered five times in 10. He

O’s outfielder Colton Cowser has been a Coby Mayo teammate in the majors and minors. They spent a lot of time together on the Triple-A roster. But today, less than 24 hours he picked up his first MLB hit, Mayo was optioned back to Norfolk. He went 1-for-17 with the Orioles, getting his only hit in the fifth inning last night. He hit a 1-0 slider fr
