A walk-off loss, Akin tries to regroup, Povich set to debut

TORONTO - For the Orioles, it has been a while since they scored so few runs and awhile since they suffered a walk-off loss. But they dropped to 3.5 games out behind the surging Yankees in the AL East with a 3-2 defeat in the last of the ninth at Toronto. They previously had two walk-off losses on back-to-back days, April 6-7 at Pittsburgh. They ca

Reviewing Orioles with home runs as first major league hits

The next Orioles prospect to debut in the majors is a pitcher, left-hander Cade Povich, who joined the team yesterday in Toronto and hailed the taxi squad. Manager Brandon Hyde told the media after last night's walk-off loss that Povich would start this afternoon's series finale against the Blue Jays. He can occupy the last spot on the 40-man roste

O's offense falls flat in walk-off loss (Povich to start tomorrow)

TORONTO – The O's came into Wednesday night looking for their third straight win in Toronto, and a series-clinching win. The script was set just for that, as they took an early 2-0 lead, but the offense fell flat after the second inning and the Blue Jays walked off the O's to win 3-2 in front of 27,929 at Rogers Centre. The Orioles fall to 39-21 wi

Corbin shelled as Nats are swept by Mets (updated)

The Nationals came home Sunday evening rightfully feeling good about themselves after a winning road trip against a pair of contenders. Next up: a three-game series against a Mets team in disarray in advance of its weekend trip to London to face the Phillies. What ensued: A three-game sweep at the hands of that supposedly unraveling Mets club that

O's game blog: Looking to keep it going in Toronto

TORONTO – After two good nights for Orioles’ bats at Rogers Centre, producing 7-2 and 10-1 wins, the Birds look for three in a row against the Blue Jays tonight as this series continues. Last night’s win improved the Orioles to 13-4 (.765) in American League East games and they are 3-1 versus the Blue Jays. The O’s also hold a 13-4 mark against the

Povich arrives, Bradish's next turn not set yet

TORONTO – Moments after confirming that O’s pitching prospect Cade Povich is in fact in Toronto and on the taxi squad for the Orioles, manager Brandon Hyde was unable (or perhaps unwilling) to provide the next date for a Kyle Bradish (1-0, 3.18 ERA) start. “I don’t know yet, no,” Hyde said when asked if he has a day for Bradish’s next outing.

Josiah Gray is ready to pitch in a competitive game again. Gray, who has spent nearly two months on the 15-day injured list with a flexor strain in his forearm, has been cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. The exact date and location hasn’t been finalized yet, but manager Davey Martinez suggested it’s most likely to come Sunday at Sin

Jordan Westburg is starting at second base tonight and Connor Norby is out of the lineup after homering last night for his first major league hit.

The Nationals are scheduled to play the Mets at 4:05 p.m. today. The Mets are scheduled to fly to London after the game in advance of their weekend series against the Phillies. And it’s scheduled to begin raining here later this afternoon. So this creates a bit of a predicament. The good news: The Mets are back here the first week of July. So there

The Orioles haven’t confirmed their starter for Thursday afternoon’s series finale against the Blue Jays. However, one of their top prospects is in the running. He won’t be far from them. Left-hander Cade Povich is headed to Toronto and will be placed on the taxi squad later today, according to a source, perhaps setting up his major league debut. P
More homers, more solid pitching and more success against AL East teams

Orioles
TORONTO – The Orioles are eight games into a stretch of 14 consecutive games versus AL East opponents. With how well this team now plays within its own division, this is good news. And with Tuesday’s 10-1 blowout win at Rogers Centre over Toronto, the Orioles are now 6-2 in this stretch versus Boston, Tampa Bay, Toronto and Tampa Bay. The Orioles a
Tough to predict how Nats rotation will look later this season

There’s nothing more tempting in baseball than to try to predict a team’s pitching plan for both the short-term and long-term. And there are few exercises that almost always turn up results that don’t come to fruition. Way back in March, as the Nationals prepped for the season in West Palm Beach, it seemed a given that Trevor Williams’ hold on the
Three Orioles questions born from Monday's news

Orioles
The Orioles are halfway through their series in Toronto and the roster underwent a few changes since the conclusion of the last homestand. Tweaking the bullpen was expected. The question was which reliever would be recalled and which would be optioned or designated for assignment. Something had to be done to inject a fresher arm. A freak accident o
Mountcastle again mashes vs. Toronto and Norby hits first homer in O's win (updated)

TORONTO – Ryan Mountcastle likes hitting against Toronto and in Toronto. That point was reinforced again tonight as he hit a three-run homer to left in the Orioles' four-run third and later added another homer as they were on their way to their latest victory. Mountcastle hit Nos. 9 and 10 as the Orioles beat the Blue Jays 10-1 to improve to 39-20.
Herz takes loss in debut, Nats bats shut down by Mets (updated)

DJ Herz’s major league debut wasn’t the fairytale Mitchell Parker experienced two months ago at Dodger Stadium. Neither was it the nightmare suffered by countless other Nationals rookies over the last decade. Herz wasn’t great in his first career start. Neither was he bad. The rookie left-hander pitched with some confidence, escaped a couple of ear
