Lefty Nick Vespi gets the big league call

A long road finally ended for left-handed reliever Nick Vespi today. Now that he got on the road, he will try to stay on it. But it’s a great day in the life of this eighth-year Oriole. The Orioles selected Vespi in the 18th round of the 2015 draft and he saw all the stops on the O’s farm along the way over 149 games. Two years in short-season ball

The Marlins have won all four matchups so far in 2022, most recently last night behind a dominant start by Sandy Alcantara.

MIAMI – We hear it all the time when teams go through offensive slumps. It’s the major leagues. The guy on the mound gets paid to get batters out, too. Sometimes it’s just the case that a team runs into some tough pitching matchups. That has been the case for the Nationals, who, aside from an 8-3 win over the Mets and a 13-6 victory over the Astros

The Orioles began their homestand last night without a single roster move. Didn’t need to replace an injured player whose day-to-day status grew too long. Didn’t select the contract of baseball’s No. 1 prospect. Austin Hays took coach’s batting practice, but only the shadow of Adley Rutschman could keep fans from seeing the importance of that updat
