After they lost on Sunday and Monday and rained out last night, the Orioles' last win came by a 5-4 score in 11 innings Saturday against the Diamondbacks. Today the Orioles wrap up this rain-shortened series now of just two games with the Blue Jays. After Monday's 3-2 loss in 10 innings, the Orioles are 26-14. They are 14-9 at home, 6-2 against Ame

Gunnar Henderson has served as Orioles leadoff hitter in every game this season, but he’s in the cleanup spot this afternoon against the Blue Jays. Jordan Westburg bats first for the first time in his major league career. Why Westburg? The Blue Jays announced this morning that they’d give the ball to left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, but matchups haven’t

CHICAGO – The Nationals are playing decent baseball right now. They’re not, however, playing winning baseball. Since reaching the .500 mark on April 29 thanks to their sweep in Miami, they’ve gone 6-7. They’ve lost two in a row only once in that time, but they’ve also won two in a row only once. Every bit of positive momentum is halted by a subsequ

The Orioles will try again today to squeeze in a game against the Blue Jays despite more rain in the forecast. Jordan Westburg is leading off for the first time in his major league career. Gunnar Henderson moves to the cleanup spot for the 11th time. Kyle Bradish makes his third start after allowing two runs and striking out 14 batters in 9 2/3 inn

After last night’s rainout, the Orioles are still at 40 games played and holding. At 26-14 (.650) they remain on a 105-win pace. They also have a few players that, at their 40-game paces, would put up some nice final numbers. * Gunnar Henderson projects to hit 49 homers with 109 RBIs. * Adley Rutschman projects to hit 32 homers with 101 RBIs. * Ant
Orioles unsure of next step with Rodriguez or when Wells will begin throwing

Last night’s postponement due to the inclement weather and ominous forecast, which carries into this morning, led to the easy decision by the Orioles to push back Kyle Bradish for the series finale against the Blue Jays. Cole Irvin was supposed to start today, but he could pitch Friday night against the Mariners in the third leg of the season’s lon

CHICAGO – Erick Fedde admitted this would be a big night for him. He was drafted by the Nationals in 2014, pitched for them 102 times from 2017-22, knew he deserved to be cut loose after all that and a 5.41 ERA. Since then, Fedde has been a different pitcher. He rediscovered himself last season in the Korean Baseball Organization, winning league MV

CHICAGO – And we’re on to Game 2 of today’s straight doubleheader, the Nationals and White Sox wrapping up a long afternoon and evening on the South Side. This one features an interesting pitching matchup. Erick Fedde, the former first-round pick of the Nats way back in 2014 who never put it all together in six seasons with them, makes the start fo

CHICAGO – Nasim Nuñez sat on the bench on a cold, windy Chicago afternoon for seven innings. Which is nothing new for the rookie infielder. The Nationals’ Rule 5 draftee is going to remain on the roster the entire season for one reason: He’s the ideal pinch-runner. Nuñez has appeared in only 10 of the Nats’ first 40 games this year. Six of those ha
