The Nationals will board a flight this morning and head to Williamsport, Pa., for a full day of festivities ahead of tonight’s Little League Classic against the Phillies. The sixth edition of this special major league game will be the first time the Nationals will get to experience the pomp and circumstance surrounding the event. And the team is lo
Road trip shows how important Cedric Mullins is for the Orioles

This just in: Cedric Mullins is pretty important to the Orioles. While his bat has not yet consistently heated up as he returned to the active roster to start the road trip last weekend in Seattle, he won a game against the Mariners with an incredible late-game performance. And that reminded us just how good he can be and just how big having him in

OAKLAND – Ryan McKenna knows the drill. An outfielder is injured while he’s down at Triple-A Norfolk, and instructions are coming to board a flight and join the Orioles. It’s become a routine. Maybe not the way McKenna first imagined his major league career unfolding, but he’s developing a niche and a reputation. He’s the outfielder with plus speed

OAKLAND – The crowd didn’t rise to its feet or generate even a smattering of applause. A tribute didn’t play on the video boards. Cole Irvin could have been any other starter tonight, his return to Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum met with utter indifference. Irvin’s fourth pitch nailed leadoff hitter Esteury Ruíz on the left elbow. At least he got

Orioles
With a 4-3 record on their West Coast road trip, a win tonight by the Orioles would produce both a series victory in Oakland and ensure the club has a winning road trip with one game to play on Sunday. The Orioles (75-47) beat the Athletics 9-4 last night as they produced 16 hits - six for extra-bases - and went 6-for-14 with runners in scoring pos
Irvin impresses, but bullpen falters in blowout loss to Phillies (updated)
Bobby Blanco
Nationals
The Nationals’ bullpen usage was going to catch up to them eventually. After using six relievers to secure last night’s win over the Phillies, manager Davey Martinez needed either an extended outing from his starter or a big lead in the late innings. He got one of those two in the form of Jake Irvin’s impressive six shutout innings. But with only a

OAKLAND – The Orioles primarily right-handed lineup tonight against Athletics left-hander Ken Waldichuk includes Ryan McKenna in right field and Jordan Westburg playing second base and batting cleanup. McKenna was recalled today from Triple-A Norfolk, with Aaron Hicks going on the 10-day injured list. Westburg is making his cleanup debut. He’s the
