Machado turns from student to teacher (Beltre homers twice, O's down 5-2)

Machado turns from student to teacher (Beltre homers twice, O's down 5-2)
Orioles third baseman Manny Machado has 122 hits this season, tying him with Baltimore native Al Kaline (1955) for the most hits before the All-Star break by a player under 22 years old, according to STATS. Machado's 47 extra-base hits through July 5 already were the most in major league history before the break by a player under 21. Machado may be facing his biggest challenge with manager Buck Showalter. "He's trying to get me to learn how to download some stuff, apps," Showalter told...

Updates on Steve Johnson, Pearce, Gausman and more

Updates on Steve Johnson, Pearce, Gausman and more
Steve Johnson, on the disabled list with a strained left oblique, will throw live batting practice Thursday in Sarasota. Johnson made 35 throws off a mound yesterday and reported that he's feeling much better, with improved command of his pitches. The next step may be a simulated game, followed by a rehab assignment with a minor league affiliate. Manager Buck Showalter told reporters that outfielder Steve Pearce is down to "one sore wrist." Pearce could swing a bat within the next few...

Britton gets the call (with Rangers lineup)

Britton gets the call (with Rangers lineup)
Left-hander Zach Britton will be on the mound as the Orioles attempt to even their four-game series against the Texas Rangers at a game apiece. It could be Britton's last start with the Orioles for a while. With left-hander Wei-Yin Chen due back to start Wednesday's game, a roster move will need to be made to accommodate Chen, and Britton could be on the bubble. Here are tonight's lineups: For the Orioles Nick Markakis RF Manny Machado 3B Adam Jones CF Chris Davis 1B J.J. Hardy SS Matt...

What's the plan for Gausman?

What's the plan for Gausman?
Kevin Gausman warmed up in the bullpen last night as the game moved toward the later innings and the Orioles were trying to avoid another loss. He didn't pitch, making him available in long relief tonight or Wednesday. Manager Buck Showalter prefers having a right-hander to back up lefties Zach Britton and Wei-Yin Chen, the next two starters to face the Rangers. What happens to Gausman beyond this week remains something of a mystery, but he's expected to be optioned to Triple-A Norfolk,...

Showalter speaks after 8-5 loss

Showalter speaks after 8-5 loss
You can point to the meltdown in the sixth inning tonight as a major reason why the Orioles lost to the Rangers 8-5 at Camden Yards. Or you can focus on how the Orioles went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 runners. I chose the latter during manager Buck Showalter's postgame press conference. "That was one of them," Showalter said. "We had some opportunities, but you've got to tip your hat to (Derek) Holland. Maybe tomorrow, some of those flares will go our way....

Orioles littering bases (updated)

Orioles littering bases (updated)
The Orioles haven't scored in the first three innings tonight against Rangers left-hander Derek Holland. It's not due to a lack of opportunities. The Orioles are 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and have stranded five. They trail 1-0 as we head to the top of the fourth. Manny Machado and Adam Jones had back-to-back singles in the first inning. J.J. Hardy led off the second with a single and advanced on Nate McLouth's sacrifice bunt. Nick Markakis and Machado opened the third with...

McFarland feeling better, and more notes

McFarland feeling better, and more notes
Left-hander T.J. McFarland threw two scoreless innings yesterday in relief of starter Jason Hammel, despite a nasty cold that he kept quiet from manager Buck Showalter, who didn't find out until the end of the game. McFarland said he's feeling much better today, though traces of the cold remain in his system. "I didn't want to tell anyone," he said. "It's just one of those things where you have a sore throat, kind of stuffy and I just battled through it. I really didn't tell...

More on the rotation
Left-hander Zach Britton will start Tuesday night against the Rangers, and Wei-Yin Chen confirmed that he's coming off the disabled list to start Wednesday night. Miguel Gonzalez will close out the series Thursday night. Britton has allowed seven earned runs in 23 innings over four starts since being recalled. "I feel good," he said. "I had a good bullpen side, and I think staying on five days kind of keeps you on rhythm a little bit, which is nice. Obviously, we know Chen's coming...

Gamboa moving up to Norfolk

Gamboa moving up to Norfolk
Eddie Gamboa, the knuckleball pitcher who recently threw a seven-inning no-hitter at Double-A Bowie, will make his next start for Triple-A Norfolk.

Postgame comments from Jones, Markakis and Johnson

Postgame comments from Jones, Markakis and Johnson
NEW YORK - Adam Jones delivered his seventh career go-ahead home run today in the ninth inning or later, and his first since Sept. 19, 2012 at Seattle. This one came against Mariano Rivera and gave the Orioles a 2-1 victory over the Yankees. Considering the circumstances, how big was it? "It's off the greatest closer in the history of the game. I'll always remember it," he said. "You've got to win, and we haven't been playing that well. We need to tighten up. We need to clean it up...

Showalter speaks after 2-1 victory
NEW YORK - Future Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera has lost nine times to the Orioles in his illustrious career. No other team has beaten him in more than seven games. Then again, he's faced the Orioles more than any other team, as well. The Orioles avoided a three-game sweep today on Adam Jones' two-run homer off Rivera in the ninth inning, giving them a 2-1 win over the Yankees before 40,218. The Orioles had three hits going into the ninth, all of them against starter Hiroki Kuroda....

Hammel's winless streak continues (Jones homers off Rivera, O's win 2-1)

Hammel's winless streak continues (Jones homers off Rivera, O's win 2-1)
NEW YORK - Orioles starter Jason Hammel gave up one run today. That's the good part. Hammel lasted only five innings, threw 102 pitches and left with the Orioles trailing the Yankees 1-0. Those are the bad parts. Hammel hasn't won since May 27 in Washington. His winless streak has reached seven starts. Rule 5 pick T.J. McFarland replaced Hammel to begin the bottom of the sixth inning. McFarland hasn't pitched since June 28, when he started against the Yankees and allowed three runs and...

Ishikawa claimed by Yankees, notes on McLouth and Davis (updated)
NEW YORK - The Yankees have claimed first baseman Travis Ishikawa off waivers, according to an Orioles official - the exact scenario that the club envisioned while debating what to do with him. The Orioles didn't allow Ishikawa to opt out of his contract at Triple-A Norfolk, summoning him to Detroit on June 18 while placing Miguel Gonzalez on paternity leave. They designated him for assignment on June 29 after recalling Jair Jurrjens and tried unsuccessfully to trade him. The Yankees lost...

Chen will start Tuesday or Wednesday
NEW YORK - The Orioles are listing Scott Feldman, Zach Britton, Miguel Gonzalez and Chris Tillman as their probable starters for the Rangers series that begins Monday night at Camden Yards. However, that's subject to change. Wei-Yin Chen said he felt great Saturday while throwing 43 pitches in his bullpen session, and manager Buck Showalter said Chen will start Tuesday or Wednesday night. Showalter also said Britton is a candidate for Tuesday or Wednesday, which adds to the intrigue - or...

NEW YORK - The Orioles have lost four of their last five games, and taking an early lead against the Yankees hasn't mattered. They are now 30-20 when scoring first this season. Need some good news? The Orioles only struck out seven times yesterday, breaking their streak of fanning at least 10 times in three consecutive games. Details on the parade down Pratt St. will be announced at a later date. The Orioles were supposed to miss Hiroki Kuroda in this series, but he's now substituting for...
