ST. LOUIS – By Orioles standards and based on their play so far this year, last night’s road trip opening game was just not good enough. And the Birds will look to get back in the win column tonight with improved play in the second of a three-game series at St. Louis.  Being held to three hits was a season low for the Orioles, the sixth time t

ST. LOUIS – Orioles manager Brandon Hyde could not have been thrilled to see the Cardinals steal four bases last night in their series-opening 6-3 win. The four steals matched a St. Louis season best done one time before. The four allowed is an O's season high, now done three times, once each by Washington, Kansas City and now St. Louis. Adley Ruts

Lane Thomas’ first rehab game in Harrisburg didn’t include any hits, but it did include a stolen base, an outfield assist and positive reports about the state of his left knee. Thomas went 0-for-3 earlier today in his rehab debut, starting in right field for Double-A Harrisburg in an 11 a.m. matinee against Akron. “He said he felt OK,” manager Dave

Ryan Mountcastle is in tonight’s lineup at first base, as the Orioles try to even their series in St. Louis. Mountcastle came off the bench last night. He hadn’t been in the lineup for two of the last three games. Kyle Stowers is in right field. Ryan O’Hearn is the designated hitter. Anthony Santander, playing with a bruised left knee, is on the be

Nationals
The Nationals ended their losing streak and extended the Twins’ losing streak with a blowout win Monday night. Now they’ll look to make it two in a row and generate some positive momentum for the first time in a couple weeks. They’ll hand the ball tonight to Patrick Corbin, who has quietly strung together some solid starts. In five outings since Ap
With continued poise, rookie Parker earning Martinez's trust

There were two on with two out in the sixth, the Twins having already scored twice in the inning, now sending their seventh batter of the frame to the plate. Mitchell Parker was up to 89 pitches, and Derek Law was warm in the bullpen. Davey Martinez has made the walk to the mound more often than not in those situations in recent seasons. A fading y
Every day Gunnar: He homers for fourth straight game and 13th time in last 30 games

ST. LOUIS – The Orioles remarkable Gunnar Henderson can always seem to make his special play sound like it’s not that special. But we all know better. He can say he made an adjustment here, or a tweak there, got with the coaches and now feels more comfortable. But however he wants to say it, he just keeps bashing baseballs out of ballparks. St. Lou

Constant fluctuations in run production are expected over the course of a 162-game regular season. The dam bursts and is rebuilt. The Orioles were shut out against the Yankees on May 1 and scored seven runs the following day. They beat the Reds 2-1 in Cincinnati, erupted for 11 runs in the next game and lost 3-0 in D.C. They totaled seven runs in a

ST. LOUIS – Sometimes the strike call you don’t get leads to the fastball you throw that leaves the ballpark. That happened to the Orioles tonight, and it was a frustrating way to begin their week-long road trip to St. Louis and Chicago. This game sure had its frustrations for the Orioles. Take the Cardinals' four-run last of the fourth, which gave
Nats finally enjoy offensive breakthrough, rout Twins (updated)

The Nationals finally broke out of their offensive slumber tonight, and all it took was a couple of rare home runs, as many hits with runners in scoring position as they had totaled in their previous five games and one wild trip around the bases by Eddie Rosario. A 12-3 rout over the Twins, to put it mildly, was exactly what this team needed. Snapp
