A few leftovers for breakfast

A few leftovers for breakfast
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Orioles had collected at least two extra-base hits in 34 consecutive games, a streak that ended Friday night at Tropicana Field. And they didn't start a new one yesterday. The Orioles were held to four hits, all singles. They've totaled one run and six hits in the first two games of their series against the Rays. Forget the angst over Kevin Gausman. Where's the offense? "Well, we're facing a pretty good pitching staff," said first baseman Chris Davis after...

Showalter and Gausman speak after 8-0 loss

Showalter and Gausman speak after 8-0 loss
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter was more concerned about the lack of offense in today's 8-0 loss to the Rays than anything that happened to rookie starter Kevin Gausman. The Orioles have scored once in the first two games of the series. The last 15 batters were retired today. Gausman was charged with seven runs in 4 1/3 innings, the last three on Luke Scott's bases-loaded triple off Rule 5 pick T.J. McFarland. "I think he was pretty good, all things considered,"...

Game update and more notes (O's lose 8-0)

Game update and more notes (O's lose 8-0)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter was asked before today's game whether he will use reliever Pedro Strop in the same role or ease him back into competition after a stint on the disabled list. "He's physically ready to go," Showalter said. "We'll let the game dictate it and the needs of our bullpen physically. But I'm hoping there was a byproduct of him having the injury in that it gave him a fresh start, something he didn't get with the WBC." Strop hasn't pitched...

Roberts will be "highly disappointed" if he isn't playing by the break
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Brian Roberts sat at a table in the visiting clubhouse at Tropicana Field after last night's game, a plate of food in front of him and first baseman Chris Davis sitting to his right. Roberts smiled, nodded and dug his fork into a late dinner as Davis engaged him in conversation. Once again, Roberts was part of the team, even though he wore a sweater and jeans instead of a uniform. Roberts took a break from his rehab in Sarasota to visit teammates, walk around the...

Orioles option Belfiore

Orioles option Belfiore
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - For the second day in a row, the Orioles recalled a player from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned him following the game. One and done. Left-hander Mike Belfiore was sent back to Norfolk after tonight's 2-1 loss to the Rays. He wasn't being punished. He didn't pitch. He just sat in the bullpen and watched for nine innings. The move was anticipated, and it's a clear signal that the Orioles plan to activate reliever Pedro Strop from the 15-day disabled list before...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said reliever Pedro Strop is "a consideration" to be activated from the 15-day disabled list before Saturday afternoon's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field. Strop threw an indoor bullpen session yesterday in Sarasota - heavy rains washed away his outdoor plans - and said his back feels good. He's eager to rejoin the bullpen. Wei-Yin Chen, who hasn't pitched since May 12 because of a strained oblique, threw from 90 feet today...

It's Hammel vs. Archer tonight (another draft update)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Jason Hammel takes the mound tonight at Tropicana Field for the first time since being ejected Saturday afternoon following back-to-back-to-back home runs by the Tigers and a slider that hit Matt Tuiasosopo on the left shoulder. Hammel insisted that he wasn't aiming at Tuiasosopo, and he presented a strong argument just a few inches from the face of plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt. You know who won that argument. In 32 games at The Trop, Hammel is 1-5 with a 5.78 ERA....
