CHICAGO – Outfielder Austin Hays received his surprise promotion to the majors on Sept. 5, 2017 and was in the Orioles’ lineup two nights later. He remembers the pennant race, how they were above .500 and trying to make the playoffs in back-to-back years. There was excitement in the clubhouse, with a 71-68 record keeping them in contention. And the

CHICAGO – The Orioles didn’t just move above .500 tonight. They burst through the ceiling. Plaster flying as if doing a home renovation on the road. Seven batters came to the plate in the first inning and three scored. A ball slammed off the leg of Cubs pitcher Justin Steele. An 11-pitch at-bat concluded with a single. A double into the gap scored

Even in what everyone acknowledged from the beginning was a rebuilding year, the Nationals were supposed to have a competent lineup. Any group that featured the trio of Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Nelson Cruz, plus a couple experienced bats and a couple intriguing young guys, figured to score a decent number of runs. Here, though, as the season’s firs

The Orioles have had a winning streak of 10 or more games in 11 different seasons in club history. The 2022 edition can join the list with a win tonight at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Orioles beat the Cubs 4-2 on Tuesday to extend their winning streak to nine straight games. That is the longest in-season streak since the club won 13 in a row from

Hays on wrist: "It feels good enough to go out there and play"

Orioles
CHICAGO – Austin Hays is going to keep playing. He won’t ask out of the lineup and won’t make excuses. His right wrist has been sore since he made a diving catch along the right field line at Guaranteed Rate Field and was hit by a pitch on July 4. Pain on top of pain. Hays wasn’t in Sunday’s lineup – manager Brandon Hyde’s choice – but he’s playing

The Nationals placed Tanner Rainey on the 60-day injured list with a sprained elbow ligament between games of today’s doubleheader against the Mariners, suggesting the team’s erratic closer is out for the remainder of the season and potentially part of the 2023 campaign as well.

CHICAGO – The Orioles are trying tonight to rise above the .500 mark for the first time since April 8, 2021. They remain in last place in the American League East, but everyone is noticing them. The teams above them can’t help it. The Orioles are two games behind the Blue Jays for fourth place, three behind the third-place Red Sox and 3 ½ behind th

At his best, Josiah Gray is really good. And last week’s dominating, 11-strikeout showing in Philadelphia was evidence of that. At his worst, though, Gray really struggles. And today’s 6-4 loss to the Mariners, in which the young right-hander displayed virtually no semblance of fastball command and dug the Nationals into an early hole, was evidence
