Updating Johan Santana's start at extended spring training

Updating Johan Santana's start at extended spring training
Johan Santana made what's expected to be his final start today at extended spring training, throwing 76 pitches in 4 1/3 innings. The Orioles wanted to stretch out Santana to 75 pitches or five innings. The left-hander allowed two runs and six hits, walked none and struck out eight. His fastball was clocked at 86-88 mph, his changeup at 72-78 mph and his slider at 77-81 mph. The Orioles want Santana to keep about a 10 mph difference between his fastball and changeup. Santana has an opt-out...

Wieters leads AL catchers in All-Star voting

Wieters leads AL catchers in All-Star voting
The first round of All-Star voting has been released by Major League Baseball, and Matt Wieters leads all American League catchers despite being on the disabled list. Wieters has garnered 540,258 votes as he vies for his third career Midsummer Classic selection (2011-12) and first career starting assignment. Wieters, who's batting .308 with five home runs and 18 RBI, would join Terry Kennedy (1987) as the only catchers in team history to earn a fan-elected start. New York's Brian McCann, a...

Orioles using familiar formula

Orioles using familiar formula
The comparisons between the 2012 and 2014 Orioles are becoming more difficult to ignore. I'm not predicting playoffs - the rotation remains a concern following Chris Tillman's latest struggle yesterday in Milwaukee, and catcher Matt Wieters may need surgery on his right elbow - but the Orioles are winning the close games and in extra innings. The bullpen, despite its revolving door, ranks among the American League leaders in ERA at 3.47 in 163 2/3 innings. Any of this sound familiar? The...

Orioles tie game in ninth inning (O's win 7-6 in 10 innings)

Orioles tie game in ninth inning (O's win 7-6 in 10 innings)
Former Orioles reliever Francisco Rodriguez was 17-for-18 in save opportunities for the Brewers as he entered today's game at Miller Park in the top of the ninth inning. One out away from going 18-for-19, Rodriguez gave up a solo home run to Jonathan Schoop, a pinch-hit single to Delmon Young and a game-tying double to Nick Markakis. Baseball is a funny game. Schoop hadn't homered since May 7. Now, he's registered the first multi-homer game of his career with this shot. A real funny...

Tough times for Tillman through the fourth (Schoop homers)

Tough times for Tillman through the fourth (Schoop homers)
Chris Tillman won't follow up Miguel Gonzalez's quality start yesterday with one of his own in Milwaukee. Tillman has made it through four innings, three more than his previous outing in Pittsburgh, but he's thrown 79 pitches and the Orioles trail 4-3. The Brewers scored twice in the fourth on Jean Segura's two-run double after Tillman issued back-to-back walks to Khris Davis and Lyle Overbay, raising his total to four. Three of the four batters he's walked have come around to...

Which Orioles are streaking? (O's lead 3-1)

Which Orioles are streaking? (O's lead 3-1)
Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy is back in Milwaukee, where he spent the first five seasons of his major league career before being traded to the Twins on Nov. 6, 2009 for Carlos Gomez. He was an All-Star in 2007. Hardy batted .262 with 75 home runs and 265 RBI in 571 games for the Brewers. Hardy is currently on a season-high seven-game hitting streak, batting .464 (13-for-28) with two doubles, four RBIs and three runs scored. He has multi-hit games in five of the seven. After batting .241...

While waiting for the Orioles lineup ...
Catcher Nick Hundley most likely will make his Orioles debut today in the opener of a three-game series against the Brewers at Miller Park. Hundley is 3-for-7 with two home runs and five RBIs lifetime against Brewers starter Kyle Lohse. Makes sense, right? Chris Tillman will attempt to rebound from his last start, when he failed to record an out in the second inning in Pittsburgh. He's never faced the Brewers. Lyle Overbay is 7-for-17 with three home runs against Tillman. For the...

What's brewing with Orioles?

What's brewing with Orioles?
The Orioles are making their first trip to Miller Park in Milwaukee since losing two of three games in 2008. Aubrey Huff had four hits in the opener and Brian Roberts batted .455 in three games, which doesn't do the Orioles any good in this series. Nick Markakis reached base in seven of his 14 plate appearances. That could help. David Lough stole his first base yesterday since he swiped two bags on April 24. He's 5-for-6 this season. Lough's average is an uninspiring .163, but the Orioles...

Showalter speaks after 4-2 win

Showalter speaks after 4-2 win
Orioles manager Buck Showalter didn't want to place too much importance on today's game despite the bait dangling in front of him. He refused to bite. His club is heading to Milwaukee to start a 10-game, 11-day road trip. Better to split the four-game series with the Indians at Camden Yards than lose three of four. "We can't live in that world," Showalter said following a 4-2 win over the Indians before 37,649. "If you do, oh my gosh, if we lose three out of four at home... you can't...

Machado and Cruz take the fifth with home runs (O's win 4-2)

Machado and Cruz take the fifth with home runs (O's win 4-2)
Your new major league leader in home runs is Nelson Cruz. Still a bargain. Manny Machado led off the bottom of the fifth with his second home run of the season, an opposite-field shot that barely cleared the out-of-town scoreboard, and Cruz connected for his 16th with one out. Indians starter Trevor Bauer was done. Cruz broke a tie with injured White Sox rookie Jose Abreu for the home run lead. He also leads the American League with 44 RBIs. Miami's Giancarlo Stanton began the day with...

Orioles down early (we're tied)

Orioles down early (we're tied)
The first inning has mostly been kind to Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez, but not today. Is it a Sunday thing? A daytime thing? Where to place the blame? The Indians scored twice after loading the bases with no outs on two singles sandwiched around a walk. Lonnie Chisenhall and Nick Swisher produced long sacrifice flies - Markakis almost pressing against the fence in right-center field to haul in Swisher's drive. Swisher is 1-for-9 with six strikeouts lifetime against Gonzalez. Gonzalez...

Orioles option Lombardozzi

Orioles option Lombardozzi
Infielder Steve Lombardozzi lasted one day with the Orioles before returning to Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles optioned Lombardozzi this afternoon to create a spot for catcher Nick Hundley on the 25-man roster. They also placed Chris Davis on paternity leave and activated reliever Preston Guilmet from the taxi squad. Lombardozzi, 25, is batting .292 with two RBIs in 19 games with the Orioles. He's hitting .294 in 17 games with Norfolk. Manager Buck Showalter wanted to give Hundley a day to...

Machado in lineup

Machado in lineup
Manny Machado is back in the Orioles' lineup this afternoon in the series finale between the Orioles and Indians at Camden Yards. Machado, who missed two games with a strained left groin, took batting practice and jogged around the bases. Jonathan Schoop is starting at second base, so he's not the corresponding roster move for catcher Nick Hundley. The Orioles could option Caleb Joseph on Tuesday when Chris Davis returns from paternity leave. Meanwhile, Tommy Hunter played catch in the...

Waiting on Orioles lineup
Orioles manager Buck Showalter will post today's lineup after batting practice. He wants to check on third baseman Manny Machado, who's going to hit, throw and run. The club is carrying three catchers for now, with Caleb Joseph starting today. A corresponding roster move for new catcher Nick Hundley will be announced after batting practice. An infielder will most likely be optioned if Machado is able to play. Could Steve Lombardozzi return to Triple-A Norfolk? Stay tuned. Chris Davis is on...

Brach on Hundley: "He plays the game the right way"
The Orioles are bringing their 1-6 Sunday record into today's series finale against the Indians at Camden Yards, their last game before hitting the road for an 11-day trip. No Sunday wins at home, and their lineup will be missing first baseman Chris Davis, who's going on paternity leave. It may also be missing third baseman Manny Machado, who's day-to-day with a strained right groin. The Orioles will activate reliever Preston Guilmet from the taxi squad and return to a 12-man pitching staff....

Showalter on today's trade and Jimenez's outing

Showalter on today's trade and Jimenez's outing
Today's trade with the Padres served two purposes for the Orioles. It gave them a backup catcher and it distracted from today's 9-0 loss to the Indians. Nick Hundley, acquired with cash considerations for left-hander Troy Patton, is expected to be activated for Sunday's series finale. The Orioles will make a corresponding roster move, most likely optioning Caleb Joseph to Triple-A Norfolk. They also will activate reliever Preston Guilmet from the taxi squad and place first baseman Chris...

Jimenez turns in shortest outing of season (O's lose 9-0)

Jimenez turns in shortest outing of season (O's lose 9-0)
Ubaldo Jimenez has no hard feelings toward the Indians after they failed to re-sign him as a free agent. In turn, the Indians didn't make it easy on Jimenez today at Camden Yards. Jimenez failed to record an out in the fifth inning and was charged with five runs and four hits. He issued five walks, tying his season high, and hit a batter. This is the shortest start of the season for Jimenez, who suddenly has lost his May magic. He permitted one run in 19 2/3 innings over his first three...

Orioles acquire Hundley from Padres for Patton

Orioles acquire Hundley from Padres for Patton
The Orioles found the catcher they've been searching for today, acquiring Nick Hundley and cash considerations from the Padres for left-hander Troy Patton. The Orioles also recalled infielder Steve Lombardozzi, who takes Patton's spot on the 25-man roster. The Orioles have 11 pitchers today. Hundley will be added later, perhaps Monday in Milwaukee. Hundley, 30, batted .271 with a home run and three RBIs in 33 games for the Padres. He's a career .238 hitter in seven major league seasons,...
