O's are shut out at Camden Yards as Cubs win to take the series

After scoring 14 runs in the last two games of the series at Oakland over the weekend, it looked like the Orioles offense was starting to roll again. But tonight, early on, it didn’t look that way as they faced Chicago Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga in the second game of the series.  Coming into this game the O’s had scored three runs or fewer five times

Disastrous sixth for Corbin and Law buries new-look lineup in loss (updated)

NEW YORK – Davey Martinez needed to shake up his lineup. For the most part, it hasn’t been getting the job done as is over the past couple of weeks. Sure there were a few offensive outbursts here and there, but it definitely needed a kickstart to be more consistent. So what did the Nationals manager do against Mets right-hander Luis Severino? He st

Wood batting second, Thomas drops to sixth

NEW YORK – James Wood’s movement up the Nationals lineup continues today as he gets bumped up to the No. 2 spot against Mets right-handed starter Luis Severino. In fact, all of the Nats’ left-handed hitters moved up the order for tonight’s second game of this three-game set in Queens. To face Severino, who held the Nats to one run on seven hits, no

O's game blog: Corbin Burnes looks for win No. 10 against the Cubs

With a team ERA of 5.78 the last 17 games, and having allowed 19 runs Saturday and nine last night, the Orioles could use a well pitched game tonight in the second of their series with the Chicago Cubs. Enter right-hander Corbin Burnes (9-3, 2.32 ERA), who is looking to become a 10-game winner in his 19th start of 2024. Burnes was selected to pitch

Pregame notes on Tuesday's attendance, Coby Mayo's defense (plus O's lineup)

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde gave some props to the fans today. The Orioles-Cubs game last night, the series opener that Chicago won 9-2, saw an attendance of 30,373. According to the Baltimore Sun, that was the largest Tuesday night crowd at Oriole Park since the Orioles and Mets drew 34,068 on Aug. 18, 2015. “You know, I remember it when we had s

Game 93 lineups: Nats at Mets
Bobby Blanco
Nationals
NEW YORK – The Nationals are hoping to start tonight’s game like they finished last night’s. Down 6-0 going into the eighth, they hit two two-run home runs and scored a fifth run over the game’s last two innings. And by doing so, they made the Mets use four relievers, including closer Edwin Díaz, in a game they should have run away with. The Nats w
With improving results, Ruiz starting to hit with more authority

NEW YORK – This first half has been forgettable for Keibert Ruiz. Ever since he landed on the 10-day injured list, missed 10 games and lost almost 20 pounds with a bad case of the flu in April, his season has been thrown out of whack. But surely – and albeit slowly – the young catcher is starting to see some consistent positive results at the plate
Another tough night for O's pitching, more adversity to overcome as Cubs take series opener
Steve Melewski
Orioles
Take it one day at a time. Worry about today’s game. Don’t look too far ahead or much ahead at all. It can be a bit boring creed, but for the Orioles it is working. Their latest example of how they quickly deal with adversity and then move past it just happened Sunday at Oakland. After giving up 19 runs the day before, they scored four in the first

Jordan Westburg knew that the local media was hovering around his locker after last night’s game. Notepads, recorders, cameras, microphones. All of them waiting for the player who found out about his All-Star selection earlier in the day and homered in his first at-bat. He was an obvious interview. The scrum moved on from starting pitcher Dean Krem

NEW YORK – What Jake Irvin did against the Mets on Independence Day was nothing short of special. In what turned out to be a career highlight, the right-hander struck out eight over eight shutout innings of one-hit, one-walk ball on 99 pitches. The task for the 27-year-old tonight: A similar performance to provide the Nationals bullpen some much-ne

Jordan Westburg took the high road earlier today. Then, he put a fastball on a flight to the seats near the bullpen area. This is how you celebrate your selection to the All-Star Game. By hitting like one again. The Orioles didn’t exhibit the same timing. They followed the news of Westburg’s late inclusion as an injury replacement by committing two

Armed with the best record in the American League and second-best in MLB and coming off two West Coast road series wins, the O’s begin their final homestand before the All-Star break tonight at Oriole Park. They host the Chicago Cubs for three games and then the New York Yankees for three. Only Philadelphia (58-32, .644) has a win percentage ahead

NEW YORK – While still slowly progressing in their respective rehabs, Trevor Williams and Joey Gallo are both still a ways away from returning off the injured list for the Nationals.

Orioles ace Corbin Burnes could have started tonight on regular rest and faced the Yankees Sunday in the last game before the All-Star break. Instead, he follows Dean Kremer on Wednesday and is available to pitch Tuesday for the American League.

He was one of six Orioles who were finalists in the American League in voting for the All-Star game. As it turned out, Gunnar Henderson will start at shortstop and Adley Rutschman as the catcher for the American League, but no other O's finalists made the team. That group includes Ryan Mountcastle, Jordan Westburg, Ryan O’Hearn and Anthony Santande
