Recent pitching run continues as Kyle Bradish delivers big
Steve Melewski
Orioles
On Monday morning, less than two hours before that 12:05 p.m game in Baltimore when I had an interview with Kyle Bradish in the Orioles clubhouse, the right-hander was looking ahead to his next start. It would come the next day at St. Louis. We didn’t know then how good it would go, but Bradish said simply he learned a lot in his second start again
Nats hope Anaheim outing boosts Finnegan's confidence

Nationals
If not for one ill-fated moment involving his bullpen mate in the bottom of the ninth Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, Kyle Finnegan might well have been the biggest story to come out of what would’ve been an impressive Nationals victory over the Angels. It got lost in the shuffle when Tanner Rainey gave up the game-tying double to Shohei Ohtani and ga

Bemboom on Bautista: "He's got electric stuff"

Orioles
ST. LOUIS - Getting seven innings last night from rookie Kyle Bradish kept manager Brandon Hyde from tearing through his bullpen. A three-run lead made it necessary to consider closer options with Jorge López on the bereavement list. Dillon Tate took the ball in the ninth, confirming that he was the first choice – as Hyde indicated in the dugout du

Orioles
ST. LOUIS – Temperatures in the 90s, an unexpected change to the lineup, and umpire Ángel Hernández calling balls and strikes. This wasn’t the sweetest welcome for a team that went 19 years between visits to St. Louis, but the Orioles sure made the best of it. Kyle Bradish struck out 11 batters over seven innings in his third major league start, Ce
Corbin's latest strong start wasted in 4-2 loss to Mets
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
Five scoreless innings by Patrick Corbin is nothing to scoff at these days. The Nationals are counting any encouraging results by the long-slumping lefty as major positives, and for the third straight start this evening Corbin was quite encouraging. Davey Martinez also doesn’t want to jeopardize those encouraging results going down the drain in one

ST. LOUIS – Ramón Urías has been scratched from tonight’s lineup for an undisclosed reason. The Orioles will provide more information later. Urías was supposed to bat sixth and play second base.

O's game blog: The road trip begins

Orioles
After a very successful homestand – one where they went 6-4 – the Orioles begin a two-city road trip tonight in St. Louis. The Birds lost the first game of each series of the homestand, but won the first and third series of three games each, taking the last two against the Red Sox and Royals. In between those, they lost the first two games versus t
Edwards Jr. promoted, Machado optioned to Triple-A
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
The Nationals had noticed how well Carl Edwards Jr. was pitching at Triple-A Rochester for several weeks now. Eventually, it got to the point where they felt there was no reason to wait any longer, so this afternoon they called up the 30-year-old and added his experience to their bullpen. Edwards, owner of a 3.77 ERA and 1.138 WHIP in 206 career bi

Nationals
The Nationals are finally back home after a long West Coast trip that included some legitimate highs and some awful lows, all of it coming together for a 4-5 record. Now they need to see if they can start playing better at home, which has been quite a challenge in 2022. Last time we saw them in D.C., the Nats were closing out a 10-game homestand wi
