Walks wound Irvin in Orioles' 4-1 loss (updated)

Cole Irvin wound up on the seat of his pants and with a big smile on his face. The mood was light early in tonight’s start. But would Irvin be able to handle a heavy workload and rest the bullpen? Irvin was on the back end, as it were, of a 3-6-1 double play to conclude the top of the first inning. Aaron Judge walked with one out to extend his care

García sits, but hamstring injury not believed serious

DENVER – Luis García is out of the lineup for tonight’s game against the Rockies, but the Nationals continue to believe his right hamstring is only tight and not cause for any significant concern. García pulled up and grabbed his right leg as he was running out a grounder in the sixth inning of Friday night’s 10-5 win at Coors Field. After a brief

Orioles
The Orioles, now 2-0 on Opening Days in the 2023 season and 3-0 in series-opening games, will host the New York Yankees tonight. It’s the first night game of the year in Baltimore and the second game of a three-game series. The Orioles improved to 46-24 all-time in home openers and 22-10 in Oriole Park openers with Friday’s 7-6 win in front of a se
Game 9 lineups: Nats at Rockies
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
DENVER – After watching his team break through for 10 runs and 19 hits during Friday night’s win, Davey Martinez joked he might have to rethink his plans for today’s lineup. He already had intended to go with a right-handed-heavy lineup against Rockies lefty Austin Gomber. Now he wondered if he should just stick with what worked. The answer: He sta
On Friday at Camden Yards, Bryan Baker was bringing the heat and the emotion

Orioles
Oftentimes judging a reliever’s performance off his ERA, especially in a small sample, is not a solid path to take in evaluating that pitcher. Take O’s right-hander Bryan Baker. His ERA is 5.79 in four games to start the new season. But his batting average against is .200 and opponent batters have an OPS of just .544 versus Baker.  On Opening Day i
Updates on McCann, Mateo and Rodriguez, and tonight's lineups

Orioles catcher James McCann is nearing a return to the active roster. Perhaps as early as Sunday. McCann began his injury rehab assignment last night at High-A Aberdeen and singled twice as the designated hitter. He’s going to catch tonight and the Orioles want him to work around seven innings before determining his status. “Kind of take it day-to
Through first two starts, Gore pitching like Nats' stopper

Nationals
DENVER – Far be it for anyone to anoint this kind of title upon anyone this early in the season, let alone a 24-year-old who has made only two starts for the organization since his acquisition last summer. But if we want to consider this literally, there’s really no question about it: MacKenzie Gore has been the Nationals’ stopper. The team has won
O's get Opening Day win and the Baltimore offense is humming through seven games

Orioles
Opening Day in Baltimore could not have gone too much better. A sellout crowd of 45,017 got to see the Orioles beat the New York Yankees in comeback fashion. They let a 4-0 lead getaway, but overcame a 5-4 deficit to win 7-6 and improve to 4-3. For already the third time this year, they have moved one game over .500. The Orioles, after winning 83 g
Leftovers for breakfast

The Orioles had 10 stolen bases in the first two games of the season, and manager Brandon Hyde joked about all the records they could break at such an unrealistic pace. They swiped one in the next four games. Somewhere in between the flurry and the freeze is probably a more reasonable expectation. The 11 steals before yesterday’s home opener ranked
