With much of the 2019 World Series championship roster in the house, the 2024 Nationals took a page from their celebrated predecessors and mounted a late comeback that special group surely could appreciate. Then they pulled off a feat even the greatest team in Nats history never pulled off: They beat the Astros at home. With a furious rally in the
O's game blog: Right-hander Corbin Burnes faces Kansas City

After a rough Friday for O’s pitching – especially the bullpen – the Orioles send ace right-hander Corbin Burnes (2-0, 2.28 ERA) to the mound tonight to try and restore order and even the series in Kansas City. When right-hander Dean Kremer walked back-to-back batters in the last of the sixth with one out, he was allowed to get one more out and the
Orioles pregame notes on Wells' elbow injury, bench players playing, and Hyde's talk with Holliday

KANSAS CITY – Tyler Wells sounded confident this afternoon that his stay on the injured list will be brief. Exactly how brief is the question. Wells remains shut down with inflammation in his right elbow. An MRI didn’t show any structural damage, which is the best news. “I feel really good,” he said. “I take pride in three things, and that’s being

Most members of the 2019 Nationals enjoyed long, distinguished careers, playing for multiple franchises and experiencing personal highs and lows along the way. None of them, though, ever played for a team quite like that one. Because of how the season ended, yes. But also because of the bond they all created along the way. “I’d still be playing if

KANSAS CITY – Jackson Holliday is on the bench tonight with the Royals starting left-hander Cole Ragans. He isn’t the only left-handed bat removed from the lineup, but it gets most of the attention with the 1-for-27 start and 15 strikeouts from baseball's top prospect. Cedric Mullins and Colton Cowser are replaced by Jorge Mateo and Austin Hays, re

It’s going to be a special day at Nationals Park, the highlight of this World Series anniversary weekend. A bunch of players from the 2019 club will be honored before and during the game against the Astros, and they’ll get the recognition from Nats fans they so deserve. But there’s also a game to play, and the Nationals would love to get back on th

While Friday night technically kicked off the Nationals’ weekend-long celebration of the 2019 World Series championship’s five-year anniversary, today is when the real festivities begin. Several Nats alumni from the 2019 team will be at today’s game to participate in reunion events around the ballpark, including a Q&A session with fans. The fir

The Orioles series with the Twins this week at Camden Yards was a reminder of the 2021 season when Cedric Mullins produced the only 30-30 season (doubles and homers) in O’s history and finished ninth in the MVP voting. That player may still be in there somewhere, whether he is flying across the outfield one night to make his Superman-like diving ca
Another look at how Suárez came to the Orioles

KANSAS CITY - Albert Suárez didn’t fall into the Orioles laps. They tracked him, tried to get him, stayed persistent and were rewarded. This wasn’t about luck. Well, maybe just a little. A leg injury put Suárez back on the market last summer. The Orioles caught a break more than a falling star. Opportunity aligned with availability. They had taken

KANSAS CITY – The outs were piling up for Dean Kremer tonight. So were the missed opportunities by the Orioles to give him support. Kremer retired the first 11 Kansas City batters and only one ball left the infield before Vinnie Pasquantino pulled a splitter into the bullpen in right field. He allowed one other hit until his removal with two outs i
