O's game blog: The Orioles-Yankees series begins in the Bronx

From April 29 to May 2, the Orioles took three of four from the Yankees in Baltimore, allowing two runs or less in each of the four games, six runs total. New York batters hit just .177 with a .556 OPS and had seven extra-base hits in that series. The Orioles were 20-11 when that series ended, leading the Yankees by one game atop the American Leagu

Wood, Crews playing for Rochester tonight; Gray, Cavalli resuming rehab

James Wood and Dylan Crews are teammates again. And for the first time, they’re teammates one step away from the major leagues. Wood was activated off the minor league injured list today, just as Crews was promoted from Double-A Harrisburg, putting the Nationals’ top two prospects together in tonight’s lineup for Triple-A Rochester. Crews will lead

Game 72 lineups: Nats vs. Diamondbacks

Summer has arrived in the nation’s capital, a conclusion you probably already drew for yourself upon stepping outside at any point today. It’s hot, it’s muggy and that means the ball is probably going to start flying at Nationals Park for the next few months. That’s not a bad thing for the Nationals, who wouldn’t mind hitting a few more homers. Pro

For the Orioles, Monday had to be a glorious day. After playing 17 games in 17 days – and going 12-5 versus the Rays, Jays, Rays, Braves and Phillies – they got the day off. A chance, finally to rest and briefly regroup. But the intensity returns quickly as tonight the Orioles begin a three-game series in the Bronx against the first-place New York

The Nationals, of course, have some of the top position player prospects in baseball. But there are some arms that are impressing on the mound as well. One of the best stories on the Nats farm this season is Brad Lord, a 2022 18th-round pick out of the University of South Florida. After posting a 4.04 ERA and 1.328 WHIP in 27 games (17 starts) betw

The Orioles’ bats hadn’t even cooled Sunday afternoon and manager Brandon Hyde already was asked about the upcoming series against the Yankees. Fans hadn’t cleared the parking lots. Players hadn’t finished their showers and meals. Kids still ran the bases with music playing from “Frozen” and “The Little Mermaid.” (If you have young children or gran

The Orioles are tied with the Phillies for the second-best record in baseball after winning 101 games last season, and they’re getting noticed again by fans. The first update in All-Star Game voting finds Adley Rutschman leading all catchers in the American League and Gunnar Henderson leading the shortstops. They were the Orioles’ first two selecti

The streak began, interestingly enough, with Mitchell Parker on the mound. It was June 6, the opener of a four-game series against the Braves, the Nationals reeling from a three-game sweep at the hands of the Mets. Each of those losses to New York included a ragged performance by the Nats’ starter. So it was up to Parker, a rookie making his 10th c

The Orioles continue to hold their own and most of the time do better than that against other winning clubs. Will this bode well for the rest of the year? Will it mean something come October? Again, great questions. October is a whole other story, and we'll get there when we get there. But the way the O's play against quality opponents has to bode

The baseball industry won’t experience a shortage of theories on why the amount of healthy pitchers is declining. On why elbow pain is on the rise and the injured list is getting more crowded than a Memorial Day beach. Pitchers are throwing too hard at a young age. The pitch clock is rushing them. Banning sticky substances puts more pressure on arm

Though it’s true that Corbin Burnes warms up to the Garth Brooks tune “Friends in Low Places,” the ace right-hander also keeps gaining admirers with every start. And some of them are high in the ranks in the Orioles organization. He’s become so popular that teammates are willing to beat up Zack Wheeler for him. Burnes registered his 10th quality st

In this season of progress, the Nationals are beginning to establish which quality opponents they can hang with. They’re also establishing which opponent they can dominate: the Marlins. There should be no question at this point how these two division rivals stack up in 2024. With a 3-1 Father’s Day victory on South Capitol Street, the Nats improved

After the 2021 season, right-handers Corbin Burnes and Zack Wheeler finished first and second in a very close race to decide the National League Cy Young Award. Burnes won it with 151 points to 141 with Wheeler, as both pitchers got 12 first-place votes. Today the same two pitchers match up as the Orioles and Phillies play the third and deciding ga
