O's game blog: O's look to even the series with Astros

While the Orioles wonder about getting some of their eight pitchers on the injured list back later this season, their current biggest worry might be the offense. That offense has produced just three hits in back-to-back games with three runs in those two games. Batters went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The Astros pitched their ninth sh

Rare night off for both Abrams and García vs. Sale

ATLANTA – Davey Martinez laughed as he recalled his one and only playing experience against Randy Johnson. On May 24, 1998, the inaugural Devil Rays franchise faced the Mariners at the Kingdome, with the Big Unit on the mound for Seattle. Tampa Bay’s regular lineup featured two Hall of Famers in Fred McGriff and Wade Boggs. Neither of whom played t

Orioles pregame notes on Mountcastle, Holliday, Povich, Markakis and Crowley

Oriole first baseman Ryan Mountcastle could play later tonight depending on how he reacts to treatments on his sore wrist. Mountcastle was removed from last night’s game in the top of the ninth inning. Ryan O’Hearn switched from right field to first base and Austin Slater batted in Mountcastle’s spot in the bottom of the ninth. Manager Brandon Hyde

Emmanuel Rivera talks about joining Orioles

Last fall, he was playing in the World Series for the Diamondbacks. It capped a 2023 season that began with him playing for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. It ended chasing a championship. He went 2-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs in the World Series versus the Rangers, who won the World Series in five games. But on Monday, corner infie

Ryan Mountcastle is out of the Orioles lineup tonight after leaving last night’s game in the ninth inning with wrist soreness. Ryan O’Hearn is playing first base and Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter and batting second.

ATLANTA – There’s big news today about Dylan Crews, if you haven’t seen it yet, but the top prospect won’t be making his major league debut until Monday. Between now and then, the Nationals have a three-game series with the Braves this weekend, and that’s a challenge in itself, even if Atlanta has been dealing with a ton of injuries and is no longe

ATLANTA – The Nationals are calling up Dylan Crews to make his major league debut. Against Juan Soto and the Yankees. Crews, the No. 2 overall pick in last summer’s draft, will be promoted from Triple-A Rochester prior to Monday night’s series opener against the Yankees, a source familiar with the decision confirmed. The 22-year-old outfielder’s fi

Juan Yepez joined the Nationals on July 5, taking over the first base job for the struggling, demoted Joey Meneses, and proceeded to hold that job every day. For more than a month. It wasn’t until Aug. 13 that someone else started at first base, in this case rookie Andres Chaparro. Even then, Yepez remained in the lineup, serving as the Nats’ desig

Orioles
The Orioles just can’t seem to get rolling again. On a night where their bullpen allowed no runs or hits, they still lost 6-0 in the Houston series opener. Their offense has produced six hits the last two games. Right now, they look like a second-division club with a lack of runs, hits and unfortunately fire and passion too. Maybe the next win and
Wondering again what Orioles are doing with rotation

Orioles' manager Brandon Hyde wasn’t ready to commit to a six-man rotation when asked about it earlier this week. Too many balls in the air to grab hold of an exact plan. Actions could be pointing the team in that direction. By keeping Cole Irvin and also needing a starter for Sunday night against the Astros, the Orioles could commit to the six-man

Corbin Burnes shortened his hair and lengthened his start, but what happened tonight wasn’t pretty. Burnes allowed four runs in the sixth inning and the offense ran cold again in the Orioles’ 6-0 loss to the Astros before an announced crowd of 22,212 at Camden Yards. The Yankees lead the division by 1 ½ games, the Orioles’ largest deficit since bei

The lack of fresh relievers impacted starter Trevor Rogers. The Orioles optioned Rogers early this afternoon within a bevy of roster moves that included calling up left-hander Nick Vespi and selecting right-hander Matt Bowman’s contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Rogers’ next turn in the rotation was Sunday but the spot became listed as TBA. “Just kind
