Tetreault continues surprising run by Nats rotation (updated)

ARLINGTON, Texas – Jackson Tetreault made his major league debut 12 days ago not necessarily based on performance, but more so based on the Nationals’ desperate need for a fill-in starter who was on schedule. Tetreault, who owned a 4.19 ERA at Triple-A Rochester, fit the bill and thus was summoned to face a Braves lineup that pounded him for seven

Orioles can't solve Cease and winning streak snapped (updated)

CHICAGO – Dylan Cease struck out five of the first six Orioles this afternoon, plate umpire Junior Valentine giving Cease a call on a low fastball that angered Adley Rutschman and signaling that it could be a long day. Gilman-product Gavin Floyd hit a two-run homer in the second, the first deficit for the Orioles since Tuesday. The four-game winnin

O's game blog: Looking for a sweep in Chicago

When this Orioles series in Chicago began, the team had not posted a four-game win streak since the end of the 2020 season. Today, the O's seek a five-game streak and a four-game sweep on the road against the White Sox – which would be their first four-game sweep at Chicago since 1995. Baltimore's pitching has led the way to 4-0, 4-1 and 6-2 wins i

Updating Bradish, Odor and Mancini, plus the quest for .500

CHICAGO – Orioles rookie Kyle Bradish is optimistic that he can pitch again after his 15 days expire on the injured list. Manager Brandon Hyde thinks it will be close to the date, if not hitting it exactly. Bradish is eligible to return on July 6. For now, he’s shut down with inflammation in his right shoulder. “I’d say Monday on the off day, it ki

Soto back in 2-spot, now trying to solve RISP woes

ARLINGTON, Texas – Nine days ago, in the opener of their doubleheader against the Phillies, the Nationals tried to mount a bottom-of-the-ninth rally. Trailing by two runs, the bottom of the order got two men on base with one out, turning the lineup over and giving better hitters a chance to pull it off. But then Lane Thomas grounded out, César Hern

ARLINGTON, Texas – We’ve reached the finale of what has proven to be a very competitive interleague series here at Globe Life Field. The Nationals won Friday night’s opener by one run. Then the Rangers won Saturday afternoon’s game by one run (via walk-off homer). What awaits this afternoon in the rubber match of the series? The Nationals can only
A look at a couple of All-Star worthy Orioles

With the 2022 All-Star game set for Tuesday July 19 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, it’s about the time to ponder and wonder what Oriole or Orioles will be there this time? Sure seems like they have at least two very strong candidates in outfielder Austin Hays and reliever Jorge López. Others have played well too, but this duo is, for me, separat

CHICAGO – The Orioles have posted a 13-9 record in June, with a chance for their first winning month since August 2017. They haven’t gone .500 since July 2019. They’ve built a 20-15 record since May 19, which is their best 35-game stretch in five years. They have a chance today to post their first five-game winning streak since taking seven in a ro

ARLINGTON, Texas – The only question Josiah Gray needs to answer at this still-early stage of his career is that of consistency. We already know the young right-hander has the ability on any given day to be a successful big leaguer. And we know he’s capable of stringing together several top-notch starts in a row. Gray just needs to prove now he can

CHICAGO – In the ever-changing world of the Orioles’ starting rotation, Spenser Watkins is back in it and Austin Voth receives at least temporary housing as the Orioles stretch him out. This is how they do it. Try to find a set five and be ready to scramble. Bruce Zimmermann was optioned and Kyle Bradish went on the 15-day injured list. Dean Kremer

ARLINGTON, Texas – There’s a lot to like about Luis García’s offensive performance this month, and maybe the thing to like the most is that there is so much to like. García has excelled in just about every significant situation since the Nationals called him up from Triple-A Rochester on June 1. He enters today’s game against the Rangers batting .3

After posting wins by 4-0 and 4-1 the last two nights, the Orioles look for another victory in Chicago against the White Sox this afternoon. The game is expected to start late due to rain, and no official start time has been announced as of this writing. A win would give the Orioles (33-39) both a series victory and a four-game winning streak for t

CHICAGO – Some of the Orioles are playing catch on the field in a light rain. They’ll have to wait for first pitch, however. Both teams have been informed that today’s game will begin in a delay, with the start time closer to 2 p.m. local time. Jonathan Araúz is starting at second base today in his Orioles debut.
