Orioles waste Cashner's quality start in 3-1 Game 2 loss (updated)

Orioles waste Cashner's quality start in 3-1 Game 2 loss (updated)
NEW YORK - Following a game that featured four more home runs hit off Orioles pitching, Andrew Cashner seemed to find a solution in the nightcap by limiting the contact against him. Can't drive the ball over the fence if you can't touch it. Cashner struck out six of the first nine batters he faced. A four-seam fastball averaging 93.87 mph, according to brooksbaseball.net, was sitting at 96. The Yankees didn't get their first hit until DJ LeMahieu's comebacker with two outs in the third...

Wrapping up 5-3 loss in Game 1 (O's trailing 3-1 in Game 2)

Wrapping up 5-3 loss in Game 1 (O's trailing 3-1 in Game 2)
NEW YORK - Catcher Austin Wynns didn't intend to serve as a team spokesman this afternoon as he stepped outside of the visiting clubhouse and met the media. But he was asked about the 88 home runs surrendered by Orioles pitching in 41 games, putting them on pace to shatter the major league record. A question placed on a tee. Wynns expressed feelings that no doubt are shared in every corner. "We lead the league in home runs," he said following a 5-3 loss to the Yankees in the first game of...

Hess surrenders four home runs in 5-3 Game 1 loss

Hess surrenders four home runs in 5-3 Game 1 loss
NEW YORK - David Hess had to wait two days to make his start against the Yankees. The sun came out, the field dried and he was able to pitch in ideal conditions. Little else seemed to go right for Hess. Mostly the weather. Hess surrendered a career-high four home runs while taking over the major league lead, and the Orioles lost the first game of the doubleheader 5-3 at Yankee Stadium. The 14 home runs off Hess are one more than the Angels' Trevor Cahill has allowed this season. The Yankees...

The rotation, Phillips' return and more (O's down 5-3)
NEW YORK - The Orioles' pitching plans have become clearer as the rain moves out of the Bronx. David Hess and Andrew Cashner are starting in today's single-admission doubleheader. Dan Straily flew to Cleveland today and is starting Thursday night in the series opener against the Indians, followed by Dylan Bundy on Friday and left-hander John Means on Saturday. The starter for Sunday is TBD based on today's doubleheader. Manager Brandon Hyde won't let anyone work on short rest and he'll...

Orioles and Yankees lineups
NEW YORK - The sky is blue and the Orioles are set up to play two games today at Yankee Stadium. Field conditions and the forecast are giving them the green light. Reliever Evan Phillips has joined the team as the 26th man for the doubleheader. I heard his name mentioned yesterday as the likely choice, but assumed that Josh Rogers was coming up after the left-hander had been scratched from his start with Triple-A Norfolk. You know what happens when you assume. Phillips was optioned Saturday...

Orioles hoping to finally catch a break from the weather

Orioles hoping to finally catch a break from the weather
NEW YORK - Will the Orioles be able to play two games today? One has been impossible. The forecast shows partly cloudy skies but no rain, with temperatures inching toward the 70s. Which means hail. Watch for it. It can't get much worse than Monday night. The Yankees called off yesterday's game more than an hour before first pitch. They ripped off the Band-Aid. They waited more than three hours after the scheduled first pitch to call off Monday's game. They ripped off fans who sat through a...

Updating Pop's surgery and revisiting last night's postponement

Updating Pop's surgery and revisiting last night's postponement
NEW YORK - The Orioles announced today that minor league pitcher Zach Pop underwent successful surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery after yesterday's examination in Pensacola, Fla. Pop, 22, had appeared in eight games with Double-A Bowie and allowed only one run and seven hits in 10 2/3 innings. He walked four batters and struck out 11. The Orioles acquired Pop from the Dodgers as part of the...

NEW YORK - The Orioles will try again tonight to make it through nine uninterrupted innings as they begin their series against the Yankees. Start on time and pray for drier weather. Renato Núñez is batting fourth as the designated hitter while stuck in slumps that stretch to 1-for-31 and 4-for-52. He hasn't drawn a walk since April 23. Tonight brings a favorable matchup on paper. More on that later. Joey Rickard is batting fifth against Yankees left-hander J.A. Happ and Chris Davis moves...

Yacabonis hoping to stay off the shuttle

Yacabonis hoping to stay off the shuttle
NEW YORK - Jimmy Yacabonis didn't return to Triple-A Norfolk with instructions to just keep doing whatever he's been doing and get back to the majors at some point in the summer. It was more complicated. The Orioles needed Yacabonis to work on his mechanics. Fix his delivery to regain movement on his pitches and hope that a spot reopened for him in a bullpen that's undergone many changes in less than two full months of the season. The shuttle keeps picking up Yacabonis. He'd like to have it...

NEW YORK - Reliever Zach Pop, one of the Orioles' highly rated pitching prospects who came to the organization last summer in the Manny Machado trade, will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Tuesday morning, according to multiple industry sources. Pop had appeared in eight games with Double-A Bowie and allowed only one run and seven hits in 10 2/3 innings. He walked four batters and struck out 11.

Notes on Cobb, Davis, new power, Núñez and more
NEW YORK - Rain has been falling in the Bronx all day and should continue into the night, but the Orioles are hoping to avoid their fourth postponement, no matter how long it takes to play. The weather continues to challenge them. Temperatures that are plummeting and storms that keep the tarp on the field and force fans to run for cover. The month of May isn't providing any relief. "I feel like we can't escape it," said manager Brandon Hyde. Asked what he's been told about the weather,...

Orioles and Yankees lineups
NEW YORK - The Orioles begin a three-game series against the Yankees tonight with first baseman Chris Davis remaining in the cleanup spot. Davis has homered in two of his last three games. Yesterday's home run was the first for Davis as the cleanup hitter since Sept. 26, 2017 in Pittsburgh. He's hit four on Mother's Day. Davis' .952 OPS since April 13 leads the team and ranks 15th in the American League (minimum 70 plate appearances). He's hitting .290/.371/.581 (18-for-62) with three...

Bundy "not one bit" concerned over arm and early removal

Bundy "not one bit" concerned over arm and early removal
The pitcher who used to light up radar guns wouldn't mind if they were set ablaze and never replaced. Put them on a raft in the bay and give it a shove. Dylan Bundy insisted again yesterday morning that his dip in velocity during Saturday's start wasn't due to an injury. Might have been based on mechanics or the weather. He's trying to figure it out. But he knows how his arm feels. "My arm feels great," he said. So he's got that going for him. Which is really important. Bundy's injury...

Orioles hit four home runs and avoid sweep in 5-1 win (updated)

Orioles hit four home runs and avoid sweep in 5-1 win (updated)
Chris Davis found the cleanup spot again. Which happens when a former slugger appears to be regaining his stroke. Left-hander John Means is finding the rotation to be an ideal fit, his tendency to hold opponents to one run a most endearing trait. Davis led off the top of the second inning today by launching a 93 mph fastball from Angels starter Griffin Canning onto the flag court in right field. The swing and the sound were quite familiar. They've just been buried for a while. The 0-for-33...

Notes on Bundy, Bleier, Hays, Sisco and more (O's lead 5-1)
A day after Orioles starter Dylan Bundy raised some concerns over his decline in velocity and poor command, the sense within the organization remains that he isn't hurt. "I feel fine physically and that's the most important thing," Bundy said this morning. Manager Brandon Hyde checked again on Bundy this morning. "His velo was down a little bit all game long," Hyde said. "What we saw, and I talked to him about it - he understood totally, too - in the fifth inning there his velo dropped a...

Means ready for latest challenge

Means ready for latest challenge
Orioles left-hander John Means continues his series of firsts in the majors today with his initial up-close looks at the Angels' Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. Means has pitched to Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez. He's faced Khris Davis. His first three games in 2019 were against the Yankees. He's wandered into baseball's mine fields. Trout and Pujols present another dangerous situation. But one that doesn't seem to rattle him. "It's a great opportunity," Means said. "I think it's...

Pujols homers and missed chances doom O's in 7-2 loss (updated)

Pujols homers and missed chances doom O's in 7-2 loss (updated)
The curiosity over Dylan Bundy's fastball velocity climbed another notch today as his readings declined at critical junctures. Bundy's heater kept slipping below 90 mph as the temperature fell at Camden Yards and the latest storm moved into the area. He was burned twice by Albert Pujols because of it. Pujols targeted the seats in left field, providing leads for the Angels in the first and fourth innings, and the Orioles lost again 7-2 before an announced crowd of 21,106. The Orioles are 13-26...
