Game 140 lineups: Nats at Pirates

PITTSBURGH – It would be hard to find a more striking difference in ballpark vistas than the one the Nationals just saw in Miami and the one they’ll see the next four days at PNC Park. And the weather here looks great, as well, aside from a chance of rain Friday night into Saturday morning. The Nats arrive in Pittsburgh after splitting their two-ga

Thompson encouraged with recovery from second Tommy John surgery

MIAMI – When the Nationals walked into the clubhouse at loanDepot park on Tuesday, a familiar face joined them. Cade Cavalli, still rehabbing from his March 2023 Tommy John surgery in nearby West Palm Beach, once again made the trip down from the team’s spring training facility to spend some time around the team. Ever since his surgery, nearly ever

O's new president of business operations Catie Griggs talks Camden Yards renovations, attendance and more

Hired July 8 as the Orioles' first female president of business operations, Catie Griggs is on a fact-finding mission right now. In her first press conference with O’s media yesterday she said since her first official day Aug. 19, she has spent time getting to know the city, her new team and her new co-workers. Soon she will head up improvements th

The defensive metrics aren’t always in Colton Cowser’s corner, even as he’s chasing down fly balls in them. Ask anyone with the Orioles or the scouts who filter into ballparks to file reports, and they’ll praise Cowser’s range, instincts and sure hands and note the improvements made as a professional. They love how he’s handling the tricky left fie

Nats lose first game to Marlins 4-3 in 10 innings (updated)

MIAMI – The Nationals have had their issues with the Marlins over the past two seasons. Entering this season, they were 6-26 against Miami between 2022 and 2023, including going an abysmal 2-11 last year. But that script has completely flipped this year, with the Nats posting a perfect 8-0 record against their lowly National League East rivals and

Henderson's leadoff homer accounts for all the Orioles' scoring in 8-1 loss (updated)
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
Albert Suárez watched his second pitch tonight, a fastball to White Sox leadoff hitter Nicky Lopez, sail into the right field seats. Gunnar Henderson took it as a challenge, hitting his 10th leadoff homer in the bottom of the first inning and his 35th overall to set the club record for a shortstop. The back-and-forth would stop, with Suárez produci

With 22 runs scored in back-to-back wins over the White Sox, the Orioles look for a three-game series sweep tonight. That would also give them a seven-game sweep of the season series. In late May, the Orioles won four straight at Chicago, but they were all close wins by 8-6, 6-4, 5-3 and 4-1. In this series, the O’s have won 13-3 and last night by

MIAMI – While watching a Nationals game, whether in person or on TV, odds are you will see their top prospect sitting on a perch along the railing of the dugout during the game. You’ll have to wait an inning, however, because Dylan Crews doesn’t have much time to watch the game from there while batting leadoff for manager Davey Martinez’s club. Cre

More positive injury news came out of Camden Yards this afternoon. Momentum for the Orioles isn’t restricted to winning the next series. Grayson Rodriguez completed his first bullpen session this afternoon and remains confident in his return later this month from a lat/teres injury.

The first-place Orioles wrap up their series against the White Sox tonight with Coby Mayo at third base and batting seventh. Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter.

MIAMI – After a nice, clean game last night, the Nationals now have a chance to sweep the Marlins in this quick two-game series before heading up to Pittsburgh. A win would also keep their winning streak against Miami alive. Like Patrick Corbin on Tuesday, MacKenzie Gore is looking to build off two strong starts. He completed six innings of one-run

MIAMI – Ballplayers usually have an opposing ballpark they enjoy playing in outside of their home stadium. Usually, it’s one within the division where you play multiple times a year. The more you play there, the more comfortable you get and the better numbers you post. For Keibert Ruiz, that ballpark might just be loanDepot park. The 26-year-old Na

When Wyatt Langford of the Texas Rangers hit a walk-off grand slam off Yankees closer Clay Holmes late last night, it moved the Orioles back into first place in the American League East. Holmes, who suffered his 11th blown save, gave up two hits and two walks in the ninth and saw his slider hit 407 feet to lose the game 7-4. The Orioles (81-59) wer
McCann reaches coveted service time and wants to keep going

One of the most important milestones for James McCann was reached last month when he accrued 10 years of major league service time, a feat accomplished by roughly seven percent of players. He qualified for the fully vested portion of the pension. And if he stayed with the same team for five years, he’d have the power to veto any trade. The last par

MIAMI – The Nationals needed Monday’s off-day in Miami to get past an ugly weekend back at home. While still a young team – Sunday’s starting lineup averaged 24.4 years old, younger than each of the lineups posted by Triple-A Rochester and Double-A Harrisburg that day – the Nats were uncharacteristically sloppy in the field on Saturday and Sunday.
