Orioles
After going 7-2 on their road trip, the Orioles begin their penultimate homestand of the season with a three-game series against the Cardinals. This is the first Cardinals visit to Baltimore since 2017, when the Orioles lost the first game 11-2 and won the next two 15-7 and 8-5. Jordan Westburg came out of Saturday’s game in the seventh inning and

PITTSBURGH – Hello from PNC Park, where this reporter is making his first trip to this beautiful ballpark! I’ve heard a lot of great things about this stadium and it certainly lives up to the hype. After a 2-7 homestand, the Nationals will try to reverse their fortunes as they embark on their penultimate road trip of the season. The Nats have playe

Joe La Sorsa’s relief appearance Sunday wasn’t particularly memorable. It didn’t make a difference in the outcome of the game (a 7-3 loss by the Nationals against the Dodgers). It included no defining moment, no critical out recorded and no damaging hit surrendered. But when it came time to dissect what happened on another long, rain-delayed day at

ABERDEEN, Md. – As he put the finishing touches on a fantastic late-year run with High-A Aberdeen in recent days, young O’s international catcher Samuel Basallo got on a home run tear. He hit six homers his last seven games (going 14-for-26) including a walk-off homer on Thursday night as the IronBirds beat Greenville 6-5 at Ripken Stadium. It was

BOSTON – Ryan O’Hearn wouldn’t get lured out of his baseball comfort zone. The dangling carrot was swatted like a pesky fly. Or a grooved fastball that wraps around the Pesky Pole. Asked about the significance of the Orioles winning the division and leaving wild card aspirations in the dust, O’Hearn was willing to confirm that the American League E

They played a ballgame at Nationals Park this afternoon, the 143rd game of this 162-game season. For the third straight day, it included a rain delay. And for the second time this weekend, it included a loss to the Dodgers. The finale of a long, drawn-out series ended with a dud, Trevor Williams digging the Nationals into yet another early hole en

BOSTON – Orioles manager Brandon Hyde stood on the soaked infield grass earlier today with a member of the Red Sox’s grounds crew who held a tablet, presumably immune to water damage, and tracked the latest storm in the Boston area. The tarp was rolled up and rain kept falling with an uncomfortable intensity while workers filled shovels with a dryi

Now with 90 wins on the year, the Orioles are looking today for their 10th series sweep of the season, after a two-game sweep of the Washington Nationals in April and eight other three-game sweeps. The Orioles (90-51) have wins over the Red Sox this weekend by scores of 11-2 and 13-12. The Orioles allowed 23 hits yesterday as Boston went 23-for-50

The Nationals will give Josiah Gray three extra days of rest before he makes his next start, hoping the time off gives the struggling right-hander a chance to catch his breath and still finish a once-promising season strong. Gray has totaled only six innings in his last two starts, allowing seven total runs while walking eight batters and throwing

BOSTON – John Means smiled and confirmed to the local media this morning that, yes, he was available to talk. He moved back toward his locker and waited. Recorders and a television camera were pointed at him. And then, he confirmed how he’s feeling and left the rest of the updates to the club. Means stayed in his lane while standing inside the club
