The Orioles' level of play has improved, no doubt, over the team that lost 110 games in 2021. That club won just 20 of 76 American League East division games (.263) last year and the current Orioles are 11-16 (.407) in the division. They just completed a two-week run of games versus the AL East and went 7-8 against the Yankees, Rays, Yankees again

The Orioles have chosen a bullpen game tonight to begin their series against the Mariners at Camden Yards. Right-hander Bryan Baker is making his second start. He did the same in St. Louis on May 12 and tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings with one hit, no walks and three strikeouts. Baker’s last appearance came in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader in Bo

When the Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 10-0 it was an impressive way to end a five-game series and an eight-game American League East road trip in which they went 4-4 at New York and Boston. The Orioles are playing better within their division this year, producing this stunning stat: They have already won more series against the AL East in 2022 t
Will Espino ever get a chance to pitch in non-blowouts?
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
NEW YORK – Look strictly at his numbers – 2.28 ERA, 1.141 WHIP, 4-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio – and you can’t help but think Paolo Espino must be among the Nationals’ primary bullpen options for high-leverage situations. And then you look at his individual games this season, and you realize every one of Espino’s 17 appearances to date has come wit

Orioles
BOSTON – Félix Bautista is an exceptionally large man with a blazing fastball and a high walk rate in the minors. That was pretty much the scouting report when Bautista reported to spring training as a new addition to the Orioles’ 40-man roster. A bubble guy who made it based on his plus velocity and strikeout rate. An arm that the Orioles didn’t w

Nationals
NEW YORK – The Nationals sent Erick Fedde to the mound at Citi Field tonight, first and foremost, in an attempt to win their series opener against the Mets. They also sent Fedde out there, second and furthermore, in an attempt to get enough innings from their starter to help set the stage for the rest of the series, knowing they need somebody to ma

BOSTON – The Orioles got loud in the first inning tonight against a soft-tossing left-hander who gave up nothing against them in an earlier game. Rich Hill was down a couple runs just three batters into his start. The outs also made noise. There was no hangover for the Orioles after the previous day’s lopsided defeat. Hangovers and loud noises don’
