In their search for more runs, which they obviously hope lead to more wins, the Orioles are in Boston tonight. They play a three-game series at Fenway Park to begin their penultimate road trip of the season. They play there remembering that they swept a series at Boston in mid-April, scoring 23 runs on 31 hits. In that set, they were 15-for-37 (.40

BOSTON – While the Orioles are getting closer to reinstating some pitching from the injured list, first baseman Ryan Mountcastle’s status remains cloaked in uncertainty. Mountcastle is out with a sprained left wrist and hasn’t played since Aug. 22. The last update didn’t have him hitting in the cage and doing full baseball activities. Manager Brand

PITTSBURGH – CJ Abrams’ first at-bat Sunday afternoon was shaping up to look a lot like so many of his at-bats over the last two months. Leading off the Nationals’ series finale against the Pirates, the slumping shortstop aggressively went after Jared Jones’ first pitch of the day – a 99 mph fastball over the plate – and could only manage to foul-t
O's hit the road looking for some offense in Boston (plus Aberdeen's SB record)

When the Orioles scored 13 runs Monday and nine runs Tuesday night in beating the Chicago White Sox, we had no idea the next few games would prove to be so futile for the Baltimore offense.  Through Tuesday the Orioles had scored 38 runs over a five-game stretch. Was the offense finally coming around? As it turned out, no. In the last four games th

The Orioles can envision a pitching staff that returns Grayson Rodriguez to the rotation and Danny Coulombe and Jacob Webb to the bullpen. Like “trade deadline 2.0,” as pitching coach Drew French called it yesterday. An apt description. “Acquisitions by reinstatement from the IL,” he said, maintaining his roll.

PITTSBURGH – Patrick Corbin was going to throw 100 pitches this afternoon, no matter how many innings it required, no matter how many runs scored along the way. One day after Davey Martinez had to push his bullpen to the absolute limit to secure a doubleheader sweep over the Pirates, it was time to pay the bill. Martinez was going to have to stick

The outs were coming more easily to Corbin Burnes. Early traffic on the bases had thinned. He was back on his familiar roll. And then it stopped. Even a brief pause can be costly for a team that can't offer much support. Burnes hung a slider to Jonny DeLuca in the sixth inning, and the resulting two-run homer broke a scoreless tie. One pitch would

PITTSBURGH – After combining to close out a tight victory in the opener of Saturday’s day-night doubleheader, Derek Law and Kyle Finnegan were asked jokingly if they were ready to pitch again in the nightcap. “Of course,” Law said. “It would only be fitting, right?” “Oh, yeah,” Finnegan said. “Yeah, I’ll be ready for Game 2.” Some 5 1/2 hours later
