The Orioles flew into Anaheim last night after losing three of four games in Oakland, and they’re starting left-hander Bruce Zimmermann in the series opener against the Angels. Zimmermann hasn’t allowed a run in nine innings. He’s never faced the Angels. Catcher Robinson Chirinos returns to the lineup after being hit by a pitch Wednesday that struc

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Orioles veteran lefty Paul Fry has been with the team for five seasons now. He’s been in bullpens with the likes of Zack Britton, Darren O’ Day, Brad Brach, Mychal Givens and Richard Bleier. Now he is part of this new-look rebuilt Orioles bullpen that is off to such a great start. For a team with an overall staff ERA of 2.87, whic

Nationals
After a disappointing finish to their four-game series with the Diamondbacks, the Nationals tonight open a three-game weekend set with the Giants. The defending National League West champs are off to a strong 8-5 start, though they did just lose three of four to the Mets at Citi Field. The Nats are still figuring out their pitching plans for Saturd

Bullpen will try to overcome losses of Doolittle, Harvey

Davey Martinez knew this might happen. He’d been through a condensed, three-week spring training in 1995 following the end of the players’ strike, and he remembered the physical damage that caused, on pitchers in particular, once the season began later than originally planned. So the last thing Martinez is right now is surprised. He had a hunch som

Because You Asked – Like Father, Like Son

I’m away from the Orioles while they play on the West Coast, but my mailbag never leaves my side. This is actually a lie. I’ve gone on vacation without it. This is also a lie. I’ve sat in the exit row and strapped the bag to a seat in the back of the plane. Anyway, I’m sorting through the questions and counting how many are fresh, how many are repe

A whirlwind 12 months gets Félix Bautista to the Orioles

Orioles
ANAHEIM, Calif. – As the Orioles’ road trip moves on to Anaheim for a series this weekend with the Los Angeles Angels, it will, no doubt, be three more games in the big leagues to savor for 26-year-old right-hander Félix Bautista. The big man with a big arm from the Dominican Republic in the O’s bullpen is a bit of a late bloomer. But for him, bett

Mancini on his ejection as O's fall at Oakland
Steve Melewski
Orioles
OAKLAND – Trey Mancini believes first base umpire Rob Drake made the wrong call. When he was called out on the play in the top of the fourth today, it led to his first career ejection in the bottom half. It also – and these two may have been related – led to the Orioles scoring in three of their next four at-bats. And while they lost to the At

Nats can't complete rally, split series with D-backs

Nationals
When it finally came down to it early this evening, when the Nationals finally gave themselves a chance to complete a late rally and pull off an inspiring comeback against the Diamondbacks, they were handed a best-case scenario. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, down by a run, Juan Soto at the plate. What more could you ask for? "I'll ta

A day of ejections and frustrations as O's fall in series finale
Steve Melewski
Orioles
OAKLAND – For the Orioles today, having almost as many ejections as runs scored was not a winning formula. While they may have had a good argument with first base umpire Rob Drake, the O’s hitters produced just four runs today, one more than the first three games of this series combined. When Oakland scored late runs, a close game morphed into a tw
