Showalter on Jimenez and 4-0 loss

Showalter on Jimenez and 4-0 loss
Ubaldo Jimenez appeared to be headed toward another early exit tonight. Nine Toronto batters faced in two innings. Three walks. A two-run homer from Juan Francisco. Fans already booing as he walked off the mound. In serious need of a quality start, Jimenez retired nine in a row and made it through the sixth with only two runs against him, but the Orioles failed to offer any offensive support in a 4-0 loss before 44,031 at Camden Yards. Jimenez lasted only 2 1/3 innings in his previous start....

Jimenez struggling again tonight (O's lose 4-0)

Jimenez struggling again tonight (O's lose 4-0)
Orioles pitchers worked 43 consecutive innings without giving up a home run until Toronto's Juan Francisco deposited an Ubaldo Jimenez fastball into the home bullpen at Camden Yards tonight in the top of the second inning. The Orioles already are down 2-0 and Jimenez already is hearing the boos from a frustrated crowd. Jimenez had allowed only two home runs over his last four starts and three in his last nine. Jimenez walked five batters in 2 1/3 innings in his previous start against the...

Notes on Machado, Wieters, Gonzalez, Gamboa and more
The Orioles know the date that's been set for third baseman Manny Machado's appeal, but they're not commenting on it. Manager Buck Showalter indicated that it's not imminent. It won't take place during the current series and it may not be heard next week while the Orioles are in New York. Also, the appeal won't be heard by Joe Torre, Major League Baseball's executive vice president of baseball operations, or Joe Garagiola, Jr., the senior vice president of standards and on-field...

Pearce batting second again tonight

Pearce batting second again tonight
For the second time in three nights, Steve Pearce will start in left field for the Orioles and bat second behind leadoff hitter Nick Markakis. Manny Machado remains in the seventh slot after breaking his 0-for-18 slump with a double last night. Markakis needs two more hits to tie Ken Singleton for sixth on the Orioles' all-time list with 1,455. He's 4-for-12 lifetime against Blue Jays right-hander Drew Hutchison.

This and that

This and that
Manager Buck Showalter confirmed again yesterday that the Orioles will bring up an infielder and likely go with an 11-man pitching staff when third baseman Manny Machado serves his suspension. Machado didn't drop his appeal and a hearing could take place next week in New York. Which infielder will get the call? Jemile Weeks hasn't played since May 27 due to a couple of health issues, the most recent being conjunctivitis. He also lacks typical utility skills, mostly playing second base and...

Showalter on Gausman, Young, Markakis and a 4-2 win

Showalter on Gausman, Young, Markakis and a 4-2 win
Orioles manager Buck Showalter wasn't ready to commit to giving Kevin Gausman another start following tonight's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Gausman has allowed two runs in 13 innings since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Two quality starts against two first-place teams. "Well, he's done what it takes to be considered," Showalter said. "He's taking care of his end of it. And the good news for us is we've got some other people capable of pitching well, too. Miggy...

Another quality start for Gausman (O's win 4-2)

Another quality start for Gausman (O's win 4-2)
Now what? Kevin Gausman turned in his second straight quality start, holding the first-place Blue Jays to one run over six innings. He's allowed two runs over 13 innings since being recalled on June 7. He's got to get another start, right? Gausman allowed five hits, walked three and struck out three. He came out of the game after throwing 101 pitches, including 61 for strikes. Gausman had too many deep counts tonight, which inflated his pitch total. He was sharper in his previous start...

Markakis ties Roberts on hit list, Young hits home run (O's lead 3-1)

Markakis ties Roberts on hit list, Young hits home run (O's lead 3-1)
Nick Markakis led off the bottom of the first inning tonight with the 1,452nd hit of his career, tying Brian Roberts for seventh place on the Orioles' all-time list. He's three behind Ken Singleton for sixth place. Markakis is batting .413 (26-for-63) in the first inning this season. Markakis had an easy trip around the bases. Delmon Young followed with his second home run of the season to give the Orioles a 2-0 lead. Young's first homer came on April 8 in the Bronx. Young is 18-for-46...

Pregame notes on draft picks, rotation and more

Pregame notes on draft picks, rotation and more
There wasn't much news to come from today's pregame media session with manager Buck Showalter, beyond the announcement that the Orioles signed their top three picks in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft - third-rounder Brian Gonzalez, fourth-rounder Pat Connaughton and fifth-rounder David Hess. The Orioles are making all three players available to the media today. "We're going to see them today, we're going to talk to them," Showalter said. "I think one of the biggest things other than...

Big night for Gausman

Big night for Gausman
Is Kevin Gauman pitching for his spot in the rotation tonight in the series opener against the Blue Jays? The Orioles are on the verge of activating Miguel Gonzalez from the disabled list following last night's start at Double-A Bowie. Gausman could be optioned to create room in the rotation, but what if he turns in another quality start tonight? Gausman held the Athletics to one run and four hits over seven innings Saturday night for his first major league win as a starter. His fastball...

Showalter speaks after 6-0 win

Showalter speaks after 6-0 win
Neither rain nor lengthy delays could stop the Orioles from taking two of three games from the Red Sox at Camden Yards. Wei-Yin Chen may be the majors' most overlooked seven-game winner. He was superb tonight, shutting out the Red Sox on four hits over seven innings in a 6-0 victory. He didn't walk a batter and struck out a season-high seven. "Wei-Yin was really good," said manager Buck Showalter. "I was thinking today, I don't know whether it was kind of getting on a consistent...

Weighing in on Chen (O's win 6-0)

Weighing in on Chen (O's win 6-0)
The Orioles have allowed one run in the last 23 innings. Again, I must ask: Is the rotation a concern or not? Wei-Yin Chen has permitted two hits in five scoreless innings tonight, and the Orioles continue to hold a 4-0 lead over the Red Sox. Chen matched his season-high of six strikeouts back in the fourth inning. The only hits off him are singles by Dustin Pedroia in the fourth and David Ortiz in the fifth. Chen has faced the minimum number of batters because Nick Markakis threw out...

Markakis moving up hits list, and other notes (Davis homers, Chen dealing)
Nick Markakis is one hit shy of tying Brian Roberts (1,452) for seventh place on the Orioles' all-time list. Ken Singleton ranks sixth with 1,455. Orioles vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson drove to Prince George's Stadium tonight to watch Miguel Gonzalez make a start for Double-A Bowie and Nolan Reimold bat for the second consecutive game. Gonzalez has allowed three hits in two scoreless innings with one walk, two strikeouts and a wild pitch. He's thrown 36 pitches, 24...

Pregame notes on Machado, Gonzalez, Reimold and Brach
Orioles third baseman Manny Machado isn't expected to drop his appeal of the five-game suspension levied yesterday by Major League Baseball. Machado is hoping that the suspension will be reduced to three or four games. Manager Buck Showalter said he lowered Machado to seventh in the order tonight to take advantage of Steve Pearce's hot bat. Pearce is batting second. Machado is in an 0-for-15 slump. Miguel Gonzalez is slated to work five innings or throw 75 pitches tonight at Double-A...

Orioles and Red Sox lineups
Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, in an 0-for-15 slump, has been lowered to seventh in the order tonight. Steve Pearce will bat second. Obviously, Machado is continuing to appeal his five-game suspension. There was talk that he might drop it today. Adam Jones returns to center field after serving as the designated hitter in the last two games. Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen is making his 10th career start against the Red Sox, having gone 3-3 with a 5.26 ERA in 49 2/3 innings. He's 1-1 with a...

Miguel Gonzalez will report to the Double-A Bowie Baysox today and take the mound for their 6:35 p.m. game against New Hampshire at Prince George's Stadium. Gonzalez, on the disabled list with a strained right oblique, played catch yesterday at Camden Yards and was cleared to begin his injury rehab assignment. Gonzalez is eligible to come off the disabled list on Sunday, but Chris Tillman is listed as the starter for the series finale against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Yesterday,...

Cleaning out my notebook

Cleaning out my notebook
Chris Davis didn't attempt to lay down a bunt last night. He's not undergoing a complete makeover of his hitting philosophy. Davis is still in the business of driving in runs. His first career bunt single Monday night wasn't a sign that he's going to receive the bunt sign from third base coach Bobby Dickerson each time he steps to the plate. Davis took a few questions yesterday about Manny Machado's suspension before a reporter brought up his bunt. Davis smiled and responded as if it...

Showalter talks about Tillman and 1-0 loss

Showalter talks about Tillman and 1-0 loss
The Orioles have allowed one run in the last 18 innings. They've split the two games. They defeated the Red Sox last night after Bud Norris tossed eight scoreless innings, but were shut out 1-0 tonight at Camden Yards. "To give up one run in 18 innings," said manager Buck Showalter, "I'm real pleased with the way our guys have pitched the last couple nights." Chris Tillman endured two rain delays lasting 15 minutes and 1 hour, 18 minutes to work through the sixth inning. The only run...

Orioles have hit, but no lead (O's lose 1-0)

Orioles have hit, but no lead (O's lose 1-0)
The Orioles won't be no-hit tonight. Whether they win the game is another matter. Ryan Flaherty singled to center field with two outs in the sixth to break up Brandon Workman's no-hit bid. The Orioles' only baserunner had been Nelson Cruz, who walked with one out in the fifth and was doubled off first base on J.J. Hardy's pop up to second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Did he forget the number of outs? Overestimate his speed in getting back to first base? Flaherty committed an error with two...
