The fourth inning, when the Orioles fell behind versus a pitcher with a career 10-0 record against them. Wins don’t matter until they stand alone with no losses. That’s when they get notice

Backup catcher James McCann isn’t in the Orioles’ lineup despite his impressive numbers against Blue Jays starter José Berríos. He usually sits against a right-hander, but he’s also recovering from the 98 mph fastball that slammed into the side of his left hand during Tuesday night’s game. “It’s good,” said McCann, who’s 8-for-24 with two doubles a

He hasn’t pitched for the Orioles since Aug. 5, but they will be thrilled to have one of their high-leverage relievers back tonight. Lefty Danny Coulombe (left bicep tendinitis) was activated off the 15-day injured list and Nick Vespi was optioned back to Triple-A. Coulombe has been a great addition for the Baltimore bullpen, going 3-1 with a 2.77

The Nationals are not publicly announcing anything yet, but a source confirmed the decision has been
