Orioles and Mariners lineups

Orioles and Mariners lineups
Trey Mancini is out of the Orioles lineup tonight, with Maikel Franco, the team leader with 12 RBIs, playing first base. Rio Ruiz is starting at third base. Ryan Mountcastle stays in the sixth slot as the designated hitter. DJ Stewart is in left field. Chance Sisco is catching and Ramón Urías, the hero in the second game of yesterday's doubleheader with his walk-off single, is playing second base. Cedric Mullins has hit safely in a career-long 15 straight games dating back to last...

Urías' first career walk-off hit gives Orioles split (updated)

Urías' first career walk-off hit gives Orioles split (updated)
The eight-pitch first inning tonight, the ease in which Dean Kremer handled the Mariners, didn't establish a tone for his start. Didn't offer any hints or clues. Just provided a reminder of how good he can be - and where the Orioles want to get him. Kyle Seager's sacrifice fly and a three-run homer by José Marmolejos in the third set up Kremer for another short outing, but it also didn't define Game 2. Too much happened after he left. There was a comeback, which included Cedric Mullins'...

Sanders sees sufficient strides from Mountcastle in left field

Sanders sees sufficient strides from Mountcastle in left field
Former Orioles manager Johnny Oates always insisted on putting his best defensive outfielder in left at Camden Yards, which is why Brady Anderson did most of his early work in the corner, though the three-time All-Star is mostly identified as playing center in Baltimore. There was the angle, and fans in the first row of seats who easily could reach out and interfere with fly balls or attempts to catch them. Oates wanted Anderson guarding that area. The Orioles want Ryan Mountcastle, a player...

Orioles lose opener 4-3 in eight innings (updated)

Orioles lose opener 4-3 in eight innings (updated)
Two batters into Game 1 of today's doubleheader and John Means was tasked with maintaining a streak that no longer could support a mistake pitch. Or a lucky bounce. Or anything that pushed across another run. Seattle's Ty France hit a changeup into the left field seats with the bases empty. One run was on the board. Tom Murphy led off the second inning by launching a 92 mph fastball into a similar area. Two runs were too many. Means wasn't going to allow one or less for a seventh consecutive...

Positive health update on Hays (updated)

Positive health update on Hays (updated)
Outfielder Austin Hays is taking the necessary steps on a rehabbed hamstring to rejoin the Orioles. Manager Brandon Hyde said Hays should begin playing in games at the alternate training site in Bowie within the next few days. "Hopefully, that goes well and we'll see him sometime shortly after that," Hyde said today on his Zoom call with the media. Hays was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 5 with a strained right hamstring. He was 2-for-10 with two RBIs and four strikeouts before...

Orioles Game 1 lineup vs. Mariners (updated)
Ryan Mountcastle is batting sixth this afternoon in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Mariners, the same spot as last night prior to the postponement due to inclement weather. Maikel Franco is batting cleanup. DJ Stewart is in left field and Ramón Urías is the second baseman. Manager Brandon Hyde is trying to take a little pressure off Mountcastle, who's 7-for-38 (.184) with a .541 OPS and 17 strikeouts that led the majors yesterday. He's 3-for-18 with nine strikeouts in the last...

Means tries to keep streak alive today in opener

Means tries to keep streak alive today in opener
Johns Means has faced the Mariners once in his career and held them to one run over seven innings. Pretty much the standard output against him these days. The left-hander and staff ace is the first Orioles pitcher to allow one run or fewer in six consecutive starts since Hall of Famer Jim Palmer in 1978. He's assigned the opener of today's doubleheader, with Dean Kremer going in the nightcap. Palmer owns the franchise record with eight in a row. He also possesses three Cy Young Awards, but...

Mountcastle lowered to sixth in order (game postponed)

Mountcastle lowered to sixth in order (game postponed)
An opposing left-handed starter didn't tempt manager Brandon Hyde to keep Ryan Mountcastle as the cleanup hitter. Mountcastle has been lowered to sixth in the order tonight against the Mariners' Justus Sheffield. He batted fourth in eight of nine games. Though he's doubled twice and homered this month, Mountcastle is 7-for-38 (.184) with a .541 OPS and 17 strikeouts that lead the majors. He's 3-for-18 with nine strikeouts in the last four games. Mountcastle doubled in his second at-bat...

Mullins making most of latest opportunity with Orioles

Mullins making most of latest opportunity with Orioles
The four-game series against the Mariners that begins tonight at Camden Yards features three opposing left-handed starters, which won't influence whether Cedric Mullins stays in the lineup. Those days appear to be in the past. The novelty of Mullins batting left-handed against southpaws is now viewed as the proper approach from a player who's easily been the most impressive in the lineup to begin the 2021 season. Ignore the lowered bar. He's earned the distinction. Mullins is 6-for-11 with a...

Orioles surrender six homers, get swept (updated)

Orioles surrender six homers, get swept (updated)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde can keep talking about the bad at-bats and tough luck that run through his lineups, or he can just lean on the dugout railing and make mental notes as examples play out in front of him. There isn't much that Hyde can do to silence the effects of a screaming line drive today from Maikel Franco in the second inning that produced a double play and another layer of frustration. Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers making a backhanded grab - the glove somehow staying...

Hyde waiting for Galvis and others to start hitting

Hyde waiting for Galvis and others to start hitting
The run-scoring single that Freddy Galvis poked into left field last night in the eighth inning to give the Orioles a short-lived lead could be an indication that his early hitting woes are evaporating. Or it was a tease - just like the lead that also disappeared. Galvis struck out in the 10th to close out a 6-4 loss to the Red Sox, raising his total to 13 in 31 at-bats. Three of those strikeouts came last night. Going to the opposite field on a 0-2 pitch from Adam Ottavino offered a glimmer of...

Hyde on Tate: "The stuff is there"

Hyde on Tate: "The stuff is there"
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde ran through five relievers last night in an extra-inning loss to the Red Sox. Dillon Tate wasn't intended to be among them, his rest period ruined by circumstances. César Valdez fumbled a save opportunity and Tate was handed the ball in the 10th. He retired one batter, on a fly ball from Kiké Hernandez that pushed center fielder Cedric Mullins near the fence. A wild pitch broke the tie. Back-to-back walks sent Tate to the dugout. Christian Vázquez's...

Mancini homer can't cover for lost lead in 6-4 loss

Mancini homer can't cover for lost lead in 6-4 loss
A major league debut played in an empty ballpark last summer felt strange to Orioles left-hander Bruce Zimmermann. An occasion to celebrate, but without a guest list. Tonight's start was like a party with family and friends. Dozens of them. The Orioles could have moved the game to his parents' backyard. Either way, there's good barbeque. The Baltimore native and Loyola Blakefield graduate received a huge ovation upon his introduction and again after striking out Red Sox cleanup hitter...

Stewart on his return from hamstring injury (and more)
Orioles outfielder DJ Stewart wanted to surprise his wife Brooke on the drive to the ballpark today, allowing her to think they were going to the secondary training site in Bowie instead of Camden Yards. A fun way to break the news that the Orioles reinstated him from the injured list. Risky, too, unless you know your audience. "She's like, 'Hey, we're going in a completely different direction. Where are we going?' And I was like, 'We're going to Baltimore,'" Stewart recounted today in...

Stewart activated from injured list and in Orioles' lineup
Outfielder DJ Stewart has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is in the Orioles lineup tonight and playing left field as they resume their first home series against the Red Sox. Stewart hit two home runs in eight spring at-bats before straining his left hamstring on March 5 against the Blue Jays in Dunedin. He's been working out at the alternate training site in Bowie. Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter tonight, Rio Ruiz is playing second base and Chance Sisco is...

Orioles option Pat Valaika
The Orioles announced one half of a roster move this afternoon, optioning utility player Pat Valaika to the alternate training site in Bowie. How they replace Valaika will be revealed prior to Saturday night's game against the Red Sox at Camden Yards. Outfielder DJ Stewart is expected to be activated from the injured list. He hasn't played since straining his left hamstring on March 5 in Dunedin, but he's working out at Bowie and eligible to return. Valaika is 1-for-9 with a walk and run...

Early returns on Rule 5 pitchers (and more)

Early returns on Rule 5 pitchers (and more)
The Orioles are only seven games into their season, but they don't have a reason to second-guess the decision to carry two Rule 5 pitchers on the opening day roster. The risk made sense back in Sarasota and it makes sense further north. Tyler Wells surrendered his first major league home run Thursday, but he also struck out three batters in the inning. Franchy Cordero was fed two changeups and two four-seam fastballs and swung through an 87 mph slider. Wells got swinging strikes on Bobby...

Hyde on Mountcastle: "We're going to be patient with him"
The sore hamstring that forced Austin Hays onto the injured list again also has removed a plus defender from left field. There are going to be days and nights, as one would expect, when it shows more than the others. Ryan Mountcastle served as the designated hitter in the three-game series in Boston, but he's back in left, where he made 23 starts last summer. He's still learning the position, his fourth as a professional, and the growing pains have been a little sharper this week. There was...
