Jones on Morse and more (updated)

Jones on Morse and more (updated)
NEW YORK - Michael Morse won't join the Orioles for tonight's game against the Yankees, and he may not get here before Sunday. There's a convenience factor to having Morse arrive on Sunday. Rosters can expand and the Orioles wouldn't have to make room for him. Update: Upon further review, Morse has to be placed on the 25-man roster by 11:59 p.m. Saturday to be eligible for the playoffs. A corresponding move, however brief, will be required. Reporters will meet shortly with manager Buck...

Casilla in lineup, Wieters on bench (plus Yankees lineup)

Casilla in lineup, Wieters on bench (plus Yankees lineup)
NEW YORK - The Orioles have dropped six of their last 11 series. They get another chance beginning tonight at Yankee Stadium. Since the start of 2012 , the Orioles have gone 16-14 against the Yankees during the regular season. Taylor Teagarden is starting behind the plate tonight because the Orioles have a day game on Saturday and Matt Wieters is 7-for-40 lifetime against Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia. Alexi Casilla is starting at second base because he's 16-for-30 vs....

The Orioles were awarded the waiver claim on Morse two days ago. "Morse has a big, physical presence and has some power,...

Orioles still trying to acquire Morse, less optimistic about Willingham

Orioles still trying to acquire Morse, less optimistic about Willingham
NEW YORK - The Orioles are continuing efforts to acquire first baseman/outfielder Michael Morse from the Seattle Mariners after being awarded a waiver claim on Wednesday. Discussions with the Minnesota Twins for outfielder Josh Willingham, also claimed off waivers this week, have stalled because of their high demands, according to multiple industry sources. Willingham figured to come at a steeper price because he's signed through 2014. Morse is a pending free agent. The Twins are asking...

Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for breakfast
BOSTON - So much for a big three-game series against the Red Sox. Now, it's time for a big three-game series against the Yankees. The Orioles are in another pennant race. Remember when late August and early September games meant nothing more than trying to be a spoiler? Miguel Gonzalez will make his first start since Aug. 20 against the Rays. He's made two relief appearances while manager Buck Showalter has tweaked the rotation with five off-days in August. "It feels like it's been a...

Tillman: "It was big to get that win tonight"

Tillman: "It was big to get that win tonight"
BOSTON - Until tonight, the last Orioles pitcher to record 15 wins was left-hander Erik Bedard in 2006. Now, Chris Tillman has joined him. Will they always be linked? Tillman held the Red Sox to two runs over seven innings, walking none for only the second time this season and striking out eight in a 3-2 victory at Fenway Park. Tillman is 15-4 with a 3.61 ERA in 27 starts. Is he an ace? "I don't know," he said. "I go out every day with the same game plan, whether we're at home, on the...

Showalter speaks after 3-2 win

Showalter speaks after 3-2 win
BOSTON - The Orioles avoided a sweep at Fenway Park and headed to New York in a much better frame of mind after tonight's 3-2 win over the Red Sox. The Orioles improved to 15-24 in one run games. They had lost eight in a row. Here's a sampling of comments from manager Buck Showalter: On Chris Tillman: "Difference. Tilly was solid again. I'm glad we could get a W for him.

Tillman outlasts Lester (O's win 3-2)

Tillman outlasts Lester (O's win 3-2)
BOSTON - Chris Tillman has returned to the mound for the bottom of the seventh inning, trying to hold onto a 3-2 lead over the Red Sox. Jon Lester was done after the sixth, charged with three runs and five hits, with three walks and four strikeouts. He won't pick up his 16th career win over the Orioles in 24 starts. Tillman had retired eight in a row and 12 of 14 before Shane Victorino led off the sixth with his third home run and ninth RBI of this series. Daniel Nava doubled with two outs,...

More two-out trouble for Orioles, but they lead 2-1 (now 3-1)

More two-out trouble for Orioles, but they lead 2-1 (now 3-1)
BOSTON - Last night, the Orioles were burned by a two-out, two-run single by Boston's Dustin Pedroia in the seventh inning that tied the game. The outcome was decided after pinch-hitting Mike Carp blooped a two-out RBI single into left field in the eighth. Fast-forward to tonight's game and the bottom of the second inning, when Orioles starter Chris Tillman gave up a leadoff double to Daniel Nava, retired the next two batters on a strikeout and fly ball, and surrendered an RBI single to...

Showalter: "I like that people are counting us out"

Showalter: "I like that people are counting us out"
BOSTON - Manager Buck Showalter joked today about all the attention given to the number of players that the Orioles have claimed off revocable waivers, noting that the Red Sox and plenty of other teams in baseball have been just as busy. Does he like that the front office is working hard to bring in another bat? "Everybody is," Showalter replied. "That's why the 'trade deadline' is not really a pure deadline. But everybody is. People who don't see themselves as part of it are trying...

Pregame notes and Red Sox lineup

Add Morse to the Orioles' list of waiver claims

Add Morse to the Orioles' list of waiver claims
BOSTON - Executive vice president Dan Duquette is serious about adding a right-handed bat as the deadline approaches for teams to set their playoff rosters. The Orioles made a waiver claim yesterday on Minnesota outfielder Josh Willingham, and they did the same today with Seattle first baseman/outfielder Michael Morse, according to an industry source. Maybe it's an ex-Nats thing. Or an injured slugger thing. Morse has appeared in only 76 games since the Mariners acquired him from the...

About last night ...

About last night ...
BOSTON - This isn't exactly how the road trip was supposed to unfold. The Orioles will try to avoid being swept tonight at Fenway Park. Then, they'll fly to New York for a three-game series against the Yankees. Then, it's off to Cleveland, which also is ahead of the Orioles in the wild card race. Having fun yet? I scanned Twitter following last night's 4-3 loss while waiting for manager Buck Showalter to meet with reporters. Naturally, I came across more nonsense about how the Orioles...

Machado and Hunter on 4-3 loss

Machado and Hunter on 4-3 loss
BOSTON - Orioles third baseman Manny Machado raced into shallow left field, his glove raised, his eyes locked on a looping ball off the bat off Red Sox pinch-hitter Mike Carp. He almost had it. He only got air. Carp's single scored Jarrod Saltalamacchia with two outs in the bottom of the eighth to break a 3-3 tie. The Orioles lost 4-3 and fell 4 1/2 games behind the Athletics for the second wild card. "I thought I had it," Machado said. "Just a little bit short. Jumped too early. "I...

Buck and Bud in Boston
BOSTON - The Orioles have lost eight one-run games in a row, the latest a 4-3 defeat to the Red Sox tonight at Fenway Park. Last season, they were 29-9 in one-run games. So much has changed. Manager Buck Showalter watched his club surrender a 3-1 lead, the Red Sox moving ahead on Mike Carp's two-out bloop single in the bottom of the eighth. The ball barely eluded the glove of third baseman Manny Machado as he raced into shallow left field. Boston tied the game in the seventh on Dustin...

Davis breaks tie with Gentile (O's lose 4-3)

Davis breaks tie with Gentile (O's lose 4-3)
BOSTON - If you're keeping count, that's 47 home runs for Orioles first baseman Chris Davis. Davis added to his total tonight by jumping on the first pitch from Boston starter John Lackey in the top of the sixth inning. He drove an 85 mph cutter to center field to increase the Orioles' lead to 3-1. Davis also drove in a run in the first with a double, and the homer upped his RBI total to 120. Miguel Tejada owns the club record with 150. Davis now ranks third on the Orioles' single-season...

Norris holds onto early lead (Machado homers, O's lead 2-1)
BOSTON - Before tonight, Orioles starter Bud Norris had posted a 6.31 ERA in the first inning this season. It dropped to 1.80 in the second and 1.08 in the third, jumped to 8.28 in the fourth, dropped to 2.19 in the fifth and rose to 6.27 in the sixth. Norris has allowed 18 runs in the first, 23 in the fourth and 17 in the sixth. Those are the danger zones.
