Winker returns to Milwaukee and helps Nats end losing streak (updated)

MILWAUKEE – If anyone was worried the grind of 17 games in 17 days to close out the season’s first half – not to mention 13 losses over the last 17 games – would leave the Nationals a dejected bunch this evening, Jesse Winker and Co. made sure to allay those fears right off the bat tonight. And if anyone was worried Jackson Rutledge wouldn’t be up

Orioles bats quieted, Hyde ejected in 4-1 loss to Yankees (updated)

The Orioles traded a National League Central opponent tonight for one in the American League East. They had won 73 percent of their division games this year. But even that wasn’t enough to get their offense going again. After scoring two runs in being swept by the Cubs, the Orioles ended their scoreless innings streak tonight but extended a losing

Adon goes back to Triple-A; Ferrer nears end of rehab assignment

MILWAUKEE – When the Nationals demoted DJ Herz to Triple-A earlier this week, it opened the door for the club to carry a long reliever for the first time this season. But with the fifth starter’s spot in the rotation coming back up this evening, the team had no choice but to drop that long man in favor of a fill-in starter. With Jackson Rutledge re

O's game blog: The Orioles-Yankees series opener at the Yard

They are the top two teams in the American League East, with the Orioles (57-36) leading the Yankees (56-39) by two games atop the division. But both have been playing under .500 ball for a couple of weeks or more.  Heading into the weekend series, the Orioles are coming off being swept three straight by the Cubs. They have lost four of five and fi

Pregame Orioles notes on Povich, Henderson's preparation for Home Run Derby, and Smith's return to majors

Cade Povich brings a certain level of curiosity into tonight’s start against the Yankees. Specifically, how will the rookie respond to his worst outing in the majors, when he failed to retire a batter in the second inning in Oakland and was charged with eight runs. Povich has surrendered six runs in the first inning and six more in the second over

When the Orioles make the No. 22 overall selection Sunday night in round one as another MLB Draft day arrives, their outlook for acquiring amateur talent is not really different than when the club was a losing and rebuilding organization. There is no urgency, just because now the Orioles are a winning team that could go deep in the postseason, to s

MILWAUKEE – The Nationals, as you probably realize by now, are limping into the All-Star break. They’ve lost five in a row, not to mention 13 of their last 17. They’ve gone from one game under .500 to 10 games under .500, a significant difference as they evaluate the overall state of things heading into the trade deadline at the end of the month. W

The Orioles hold a two-game advantage over the Yankees in the American League East and they begin a weekend series tonight that leads into the break. They haven’t lost a division series in the last 22. They haven't scored in the last 24 innings. Heston Kjerstad is in left field and Cedric Mullins is in center. Colton Cowser is on the bench again.

NEW YORK – James Wood and Trey Lipscomb each took long roads to only end up in their own backyards. The two Nationals prospects both grew up within an hour of D.C. and now they’re teammates for the first time at the major league level. “This is kinda how it felt all throughout the minors,” Wood said. “We just are doing the same stuff that we do nor

On Tuesday night during the All-Star game in Texas, no doubt at some point the national television audience will hear one of the broadcasters point out the two O’s starters in the game – Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson – were the first two draft picks by Mike Elias after joining the Orioles. Rutschman was the No. 1 pick in that 2019 draft but

The amount of Orioles All-Star snubs is shrinking. The bucket isn’t empty. Perhaps the more egregious omission is closer Craig Kimbrel, whose 23 saves already match last year’s total with the Phillies and are one more than in 2022 with the Dodgers. His ERA is down to 2.10 with a 0.903 ERA in 38 appearances. He’s allowed one earned run in his last 2

NEW YORK – The Nationals entered Thursday’s matinee finale in Queens needing a win against the Mets to avoid the three-game sweep. More importantly, they needed a win to slow down their two-week slide before the finale series of the first half. It’s been a mostly positive first half of the season for the Nationals, who have surpassed some preseason
