Orioles and Yankees conclude their series

Orioles and Yankees conclude their series
NEW YORK - We've got a 2:05 p.m. starting time today because it's Old-Timers' Day at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees' infield will occupy the middle of the lineup. (I kid, I kid.) The guest list includes outfielder Jesse Barfield. Because, when I think of Yankee legends, I immediately think of Jesse Barfield. It won't include Orioles manager Buck Showalter, who declined an invitation to participate. Don't think he wanted to put on the pinstripes and wave to the crowd. Not unless he could...

Hardy on his home run and the silent treatment

Hardy on his home run and the silent treatment
NEW YORK - Exactly when did Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy know that he was getting the silent treatment in the dugout after hitting a home run in the eighth inning? "As I was rounding third, I kind of looked in the dugout and no one had moved. And I knew they were going to just sit there," said Hardy, who decided to celebrate on his own. "Luckily, there was a bag just sitting there on the top step. So I grabbed it and figured I'd give myself a sunflower seed shower." Hardy hadn't gone deep...

Showalter on Norris injury: "I'm hoping we caught it in time"

Showalter on Norris injury: "I'm hoping we caught it in time"
NEW YORK - Orioles manager Buck Showalter has Kevin Gausman scheduled to pitch the first game of Friday's split doubleheader against the Rays at Camden Yards, with Bud Norris taking the mound in the nightcap. Norris could be replaced by Chris Tillman after leaving today's game with tightness in his right groin. Tillman is starting Sunday's series finale against the Yankees and would be working on regular rest. "I'm hoping we caught it in time," Showalter said after today's 6-1 win over...

Norris leaves game with groin injury (Hardy finally homers, O's win 6-1)

Norris leaves game with groin injury (Hardy finally homers, O's win 6-1)
NEW YORK - Orioles starter Bud Norris left today's game with tightness in his right groin while warming up for the bottom of the sixth inning. Head athletic trainer Richie Bancells, manager Buck Showalter and pitching coach Dave Wallace came to the mound, and Norris exited without throwing a pitch. Ryan Webb was rushed into the game and given extra time to warm up. The Orioles can't catch a break. With the bullpen in need of some rest, Norris held the Yankees to one run and three hits over...

Stinson clears waivers, Pearce clears the fence

Stinson clears waivers, Pearce clears the fence
NEW YORK - The Orioles announced that Josh Stinson has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk. Stinson must decide by Sunday whether to accept the assignment, which he's expected to do. Otherwise, he'd forfeit his salary. And he's likely to resurface at Camden Yards as one of the passengers on the shuttle between Norfolk and Baltimore. Stinson has registered a 6.23 ERA in eight games with the Orioles, and he's 0-3 with a 5.19 ERA in nine games (two starts) with Norfolk. The...

Jones gives Orioles early lead (Cruz homers)

Jones gives Orioles early lead (Cruz homers)
NEW YORK - The Orioles will give it another try this afternoon. They have a 1-0 lead over the Yankees on Adam Jones' solo home run with two outs in the top of the first inning. Jones jumped on a 90 mph fastball from left-hander Vidal Nuno, the ball disappearing into the seats in left field. The Orioles are 25-8 when they score first. The sound of Jones making contact was loud enough to be heard by reporters over the Tino Martinez press conference being piped into the press box at full...

Showalter on Gausman, Jimenez, Machado and more

Showalter on Gausman, Jimenez, Machado and more
NEW YORK - Meeting with reporters today in the visiting dugout at Yankee Stadium, Orioles manager Buck Showalter shed some light on last night's decision to option pitcher Kevin Gausman to Triple-A Norfolk. There's no reason to feel left in the dark. It's a fairly obvious strategy. Gausman will throw a bullpen session at Triple-A Norfolk or perhaps work a few innings in a game, then be recalled as the 26th player for Friday's split doubleheader against the Rays at Camden Yards. He must be...

Brach recalled from Norfolk

Brach recalled from Norfolk
NEW YORK - Reliever Brad Brach is listed on the Orioles' lineup card today as the pitcher taking Kevin Gausman's spot on the 25-man roster. Brach hasn't arrived at Yankee Stadium, but he will be available for today's game. This is the third time that he's been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Brach has allowed 11 runs and 21 hits over 18 1/3 innings with the Orioles. He was 3-1 with a 3.47 ERA in 17 games at Norfolk. Steve Pearce continues to start in left field, which should come as no...

Back to a full bullpen

Back to a full bullpen
NEW YORK - Just for grins today, a reporter will ask Orioles manager Buck Showalter about his six-man rotation. Just to mess with him. Maybe it's going to be me. My revenge for fans asking me about the PTBNL in the Chad Bradford trade. There is no six-man rotation with Kevin Gausman being optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, but why mess with a good joke? Showalter hasn't revealed his rotation beyond the Yankees series. He'll be pressed for more information today. As Showalter pointed out, he could...

Orioles option Gausman

Orioles option Gausman
NEW YORK - So much for a six-man rotation. The Orioles announced tonight that they optioned Kevin Gausman to Triple-A Norfolk following a 5-3 loss to the Yankees. A corresponding roster move will be announced on Saturday. Gausman allowed two runs over 19 innings in three starts since being recalled for a second time. His turn wasn't coming up again until Wednesday against the White Sox. It has nothing to do with performance. That much is clear. Normally, Gausman would be required to stay...

Showalter, Jimenez, Britton and Hundley following 5-3 loss

Showalter, Jimenez, Britton and Hundley following 5-3 loss
NEW YORK - The Orioles had a two-run lead tonight and Zach Britton on the mound in the ninth inning. Pretty much how they'd draw it up. They'd like to erase the ending. Carlos Beltran's three-run walk-off home run gave New York a 5-3 win over the Orioles and handed Britton his second blown save. "You don't ever assume anything," said manager Buck Showalter. "It's a good lineup the whole way through. You know at some point they are going to ... Just couldn't quite get that last one....

Hundley breaks up no-no, Pearce keeps producing (O's lose 5-3)

Hundley breaks up no-no, Pearce keeps producing (O's lose 5-3)
NEW YORK - Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda lost his no-hit bid, shutout and lead in the blink of an eye. Nick Hundley doubled to right-center field leading off the top of the sixth inning - his sixth hit with the Orioles and his first for extra bases. Pitchers can threaten the Orioles with a no-hitter, but they can't carry through with it. Steve Pearce doubled to left field with one out to tie the game, and he scored on Adam Jones' single to right field. The Orioles go from being no-hit to...

Game update and note on Britton (updated)

Game update and note on Britton (updated)
NEW YORK - Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez already has thrown 35 pitches and faced 10 batters tonight in two innings. The Yankees already have stolen two bases in two attempts. They also loaded the bases with one out in the second. The fact that Jimenez has surrendered only one run feels like a small victory. Brett Gardner flied to center field in the second, and Adam Jones threw out Carlos Beltran at the plate to end the threat. The Orioles have 15 outfield assists, including three by...

Pregame notes on Wieters, Pearce, Hundley, the rotation and Almanzar

Pregame notes on Wieters, Pearce, Hundley, the rotation and Almanzar
NEW YORK - Catcher Matt Wieters is back in Atlanta following ligament-reconstructive surgery and already is doing some light exercises on his right elbow. Wieters is wearing an immobilizer on his arm instead of a cast. "They got the spur that we knew was there out," said manager Buck Showalter. "It's impossible to think he's going to throw even better next year, but he might." Showalter said Wieters could join the Orioles during the homestand that leads into the All-Star break. Steve...

Hardy on errors and homerless streak

Hardy on errors and homerless streak
NEW YORK - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy has committed seven errors over the last 14 games, giving him eight for the season. It's uncharacteristic of the two-time Gold Glove winner. "Obviously, not as good as I've been," he said. "I've made a few errors - throwing, fielding. I've been working on that, too. My body feels fine. It hasn't been coming together. "It's just maybe ... I have no idea. You know, it hasn't been great, but I'm grinding through it." Hardy carries a .289...

Singleton hopes Markakis "stays with the Orioles for the remainder of his career"

Singleton hopes Markakis "stays with the Orioles for the remainder of his career"
The Orioles are in New York tonight to open a three-game series against the Yankees, but YES Network analyst Ken Singleton is vacationing with his family in Hawaii. Singleton isn't completely detached from the baseball world. For instance, he knew that right fielder Nick Markakis recently passed him on the Orioles' all-time hits list. Markakis needs 115 more hits to tie Boog Powell for sixth place. "I did see it," Singleton said in a phone interview while, as he described it, gazing at the...

Jimenez on extended rest, plus other off-day notes (and draft pick signings)

Jimenez on extended rest, plus other off-day notes (and draft pick signings)
The Orioles are sending Ubaldo Jimenez to the mound Friday night at Yankee Stadium, and it's been a week since he's thrown a pitch. Jimenez is working on six days rest for the third time this season. Most recently, he tossed seven scoreless innings in Minnesota on May 2, striking out 10, to earn his first win as an Oriole. In his career, Jimenez is 11-10 with a 4.74 ERA in 27 starts with six days or more of rest. The extra rest this season has provided Jimenez with an extra bullpen session...

Taking another look at the roster
The Orioles are off today, but manager Buck Showalter and executive vice president Dan Duquette will continue to discuss the composition of the 25-man roster. Question: How long can the Orioles go with a six-man bullpen? Answer: As long as the rotation allows it. Showalter keeps reminding reporters that the club won't stay with six relievers. He made it work yesterday - well, Kevin Gausman made it work by gutting out six scoreless innings and Tommy Hunter made it work by retiring all six...

Hearing from Gausman, Joseph, Cruz and Hunter

Hearing from Gausman, Joseph, Cruz and Hunter
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Kevin Gausman has allowed two runs over 19 innings in three starts since being recalled by the Orioles for the second time this season. Caleb Joseph has been behind the plate for all three starts. Nice comfort zone. "It's like a friendship, working partners, and when you get to catch somebody for two, three, four years, you kind of know how they tick and know their patterns versus the game reports," Joseph said following the Orioles' 2-0 win over the Rays. "You...
