Orioles handled the pressure and the Tigers

DETROIT – The pressure was most definitely on the Orioles Saturday night at Comerica Park. On this night, they stood up to it with an important and impressive 4-2 win over a hot Detroit Tigers team that had won 21 of 30 coming into play. The O’s were three games back of the Yankees for the division lead and Kansas City had pulled within two games f

Mailbag leftovers for breakfast

The penultimate road trip of the season concludes later today in Detroit, which limits my usage of the word "penultimate." At least until the next-to-last regular season game. The Orioles are off Monday and host the Giants and Tigers before wrapping up the regular season in the Bronx and Minnesota. Those last six games could be meaningful. Don’t yo

Corbin Burnes throws first scoreless start of year as O's beat Detroit (updated)

DETROIT – An Orioles starting rotation that had been pitching well recently kept it going tonight behind their ace. With the team losing and not scoring many runs in dropping six of eight games, it was harder to notice the solid rotation outings. But in the last three games, O’s starters had an ERA of 1.37. Over their past seven games their ERA was

Rare home run barrage propels Nats to another win over Marlins (updated)

Maybe it was appropriate today’s game featured a centennial celebration of Washington’s 1924 champions, a club that won the city’s first World Series despite ranking last in the American League with a grand total of 22 home runs that season. No team in the National League this year has hit fewer home runs than the Nationals, who entered this contes

Luis García Jr. has made strides in just about every aspect of his game during his breakthrough season. The Nationals second baseman has established career highs in batting average (.282), on-base percentage (.320) and slugging percentage (.445), is 21-for-25 in stolen base attempts and has turned himself into a better defensive player as well.

DETROIT - Having lost five of six and six of their past eight games and facing the team with the best record in baseball since Aug. 11, the Orioles will try to find a way tonight. Find a way to get some offense and start winning again.  The O's are now 83-65 overall and ended Friday night three games back of the Yankees, who are playing this aftern

It’s a spectacular Saturday afternoon in the nation’s capital. Maybe the matchup between the Nationals and Marlins isn’t anything to get excited about, but there are surely worse places to be on such a lovely day than the ballpark, right? The Nats look to make it two in a row (and 10 out of 12) against Miami, and they’ll hope Patrick Corbin does hi

DETROIT – As the losses mount while the runs do not, if feels like the American League East is slipping away from the Orioles. Their 1-0 loss at Detroit - in which they narrowly missed being no-hit - was their fifth in six games and sixth in the last eight. The Orioles are 25-27 since the All-Star break and 30-34 since July 1. They are now three ga

The Orioles were victims of a violent flood of injuries over the course of the season, threatening to sweep away their hopes to repeat as division champions, but players who are able to return will do so in trickles. Reliever Jacob Webb appears the closest to reinstatement after Thursday night’s scoreless inning with Triple-A Norfolk. Manager Brand

DETROIT – The storyline for the game tonight at Detroit in the series-opener for the Orioles was not just would their offense finally get going. It was would they get a hit or even a baserunner? Their batters who had scored just 15 runs their past seven games, were going down quickly and too many times taking called third strikes. They were getting

It has flown under the radar a bit, but DJ Herz has turned into the Nationals’ best starting pitcher over the last two months. Since returning from a brief stint at Triple-A Rochester around the All-Star break designed to give him some extra rest, the rookie has taken the mound 10 times. And in those 10 games, he now owns a 2.76 ERA and 1.082 WHIP,

CJ Abrams won’t get a chance tonight to see if he can continue his recent power surge at the plate.
