Stowers' power: Stanford draftee leads O's farm in home runs

Stowers' power: Stanford draftee leads O's farm in home runs
BOWIE - Last Thursday night, the Double-A Bowie Baysox, chasing a playoff spot, were hosting Erie. Bowie had lost the first two games of that series, blowing a ninth-inning lead in the series opener, and on this night, they held a 6-3 lead. But by the eighth inning, the game was tied 6-6. But Bowie would not let this game get away. Lefty-hitting right fielder Kyle Stowers, the O's minor league home run leader, blasted one out to center for a two-run shot and an 8-6 lead. Three outs later, the...

Akin solid again and O's get rare AL East win over Toronto

Akin solid again and O's get rare AL East win over Toronto
The Orioles had to wonder whether lefty Keegan Akin could put together another good start to follow up his recent seven-inning outing. As the game wore on, they also had to wonder if they would get to Hyun Jin Ryu, a pitcher who has finished in the top three of the last two Cy Young Award votes, once in each league. The answers were yes and yes. And they helped the Orioles pick up a rare win against an American League East opponent. The Orioles (41-90) beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 tonight at...

O's game blog: Keegan Akin faces Toronto at Rogers Centre
After Monday's 7-3 loss at Rogers Centre, the Orioles face the Toronto Blue Jays again tonight looking for a win in the second game of a three-game series and six-game road trip. Ryan Mountcastle's 25th home run provided the Orioles a 1-0 lead in the first inning last night, and he added an RBI infield single in the sixth and scored their final run on Pedro Severino's single in the ninth. Mountcastle leads the team in both homers and RBIs, with 73. Last night was his 18th multi-RBI game, and...

The former big leaguer serving as Delmarva mentor, plus O's notes

The former big leaguer serving as Delmarva mentor, plus O's notes
When the low Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds took the field the last two weeks, with their new-look roster featuring a host of 2021 draft picks, an older pitcher ran to the mound four times with them. He kind of fit in with his own youthful look, even though he is 30 and a veteran of 92 major league games. Before the game, some fans may have figured he was one of the coaches, but lefty Ty Blach is still a player. A player just over 13 months removed from Tommy John surgery and pitching with...

O's game blog: Road trip begins at Toronto

O's game blog: Road trip begins at Toronto
The Orioles begin a two-city, six-game road trip tonight playing at Toronto, where they have not played since Sept. 25, 2019. The Orioles play three games at Rogers Centre and then, after Thursday's off-day, play three games at Yankee Stadium. The Orioles got swept three by Tampa Bay over the weekend by 6-3, 4-3 and 12-8 scores. They went 1-18 versus the Rays and have lost 22 of 24 games overall. The Orioles were swept for the 17th time and Tampa Bay recorded its 13th series sweep. The road...

Westburg's slow start at Bowie and Mountcastle's home run chase

Westburg's slow start at Bowie and Mountcastle's home run chase
BOWIE - For a player that has had one of the most productive bats on the Orioles farm this year, it is strange to see infielder Jordan Westburg with a .143 batting average right now at Double-A Bowie. But his bat has yet to take off with the Baysox. However, for this player in his first full pro season, there is no concern right now and both his manager and hitting coaches expect the hits to start coming and sooner rather than later. "He's taking some lumps, which I think is good for him,"...

O's game blog: Trying to extend the quality starts streak

O's game blog: Trying to extend the quality starts streak
It started with Keegan Akin's solid seven-inning outing on Thursday afternoon, when he allowed just three hits and one run. That started a run that is now three consecutive quality outings by O's pitchers as Matt Harvey and John Means followed Akin with strong outings of their own. Three straight quality starts is a first for the 2021 Orioles. They had had two in a row but never three until now. In this span, the three starters allowed six runs and 12 hits in 19 1/3 innings with three walks...

A look at Adley Rutschman's strong start with Norfolk

A look at Adley Rutschman's strong start with Norfolk
The No. 1 prospect in baseball, Triple-A Norfolk catcher Adley Rutschman, has been at the minors' highest level for just over two weeks now. After starting with eight hits in his first 17 Norfolk at-bats, his hitting has leveled off a bit, but it's still been a strong start for Rutschman with the Tides. Earlier, over 80 games with Double-A Bowie, Rutschman hit .271/.392/.508/.901 with 16 doubles, 18 homers and 55 RBIs. Through 15 games with Norfolk at Triple-A, he's batting...

O's game blog: John Means faces Tampa Bay at the Yard
The Orioles are still trying to figure out a way to beat the Tampa Bay Rays. Tonight they turn to their ace lefty John Means to try to defeat the Rays for just the second time this year. But tonight's start comes at a time when Means (5-6, 3.50 ERA) is struggling badly. On Aug. 6, Means allowed just one run over five innings versus Tampa Bay. But in the three starts since then - one that came versus the Rays - Means is 0-3 with an 8.16 ERA. He has allowed 13 earned runs and 20 hits, yielding...

Next challenge for baseball's best pitching prospect: Bouncing back

Next challenge for baseball's best pitching prospect: Bouncing back
BOWIE - When he takes the mound tonight for Double-A Bowie against Erie, the highest-ranked pitching prospect in baseball, right-hander Grayson Rodriguez of the Baysox, will face a unique challenge. It is one he seldom faces. He'll try to pitch well coming off a poor start. Last Tuesday versus the Reading Fightin Phils, the 21-year-old Rodriguez allowed two hits and one run over five innings with one walk and six strikeouts. That start was like most of the 19 he has made this year for both...

Notes from Bowie on playoff push, Stowers' homers, Lowther's outing (updated)

Notes from Bowie on playoff push, Stowers' homers, Lowther's outing (updated)
BOWIE - With 23 games left to play in this minor league season, a playoff push is on at Double-A Bowie, where the Baysox picked up a huge 8-6 win over Erie last night when right fielder Kyle Stowers hit his second homer of the game to break a 6-6 tie in the last of the eighth. When he hit homers No. 19 and 20 Thursday night, Stowers, the Orioles' No. 71 overall draft pick in 2019 out of Stanford, helped the Baysox improve to 19 games over .500 and hang onto the second-best record in the...

O's game blog: Series begins vs. Rays
After scoring 23 runs in back-to-back wins that followed a 19-game losing streak, the Orioles have a bit of momentum as they head into the series that begins tonight at Oriole Park. But this series is against the team with which they have had the toughest time this year. The first-place Tampa Bay Rays (79-48) come to Baltimore for a three-game weekend series to wrap up a nine-game homestand for the Orioles. The Rays are 15-1 this season against the Orioles and have outscored Baltimore 128-57 in...

Jorge López gets off to good start in 'pen, plus other O's notes

Jorge López gets off to good start in 'pen, plus other O's notes
It was two innings at the end of a blowout win for the Orioles. But for the second time in two outings, right-hander Jorge López threw scoreless ball out of the bullpen. He's now thrown three scoreless innings in his new role on the pitching staff. Over two innings Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels, López, who went 3-14 with a 6.35 ERA in 25 games as a starter, retired six of seven batters, fanned four, allowing no hits or runs. In his first relief outing, when he pitched one...

Akin's strong start, Mullins steals, Severino slam as O's win again

Akin's strong start, Mullins steals, Severino slam as O's win again
When the day began and he took the mound with a record of 0-8 and 7.92 ERA, lefty Keegan Akin would probably have been an unlikely candidate to become the first Baltimore pitcher this year not named John Means to go seven innings or more. But he pitched his way out of an early jam in the top of the second and got rolling after that. Akin was stellar on the mound in the heat of Camden Yards this afternoon, and the O's put up a big inning in the last of the fifth to beat the Los Angeles Angels...

O's game blog: Looking for a series victory
Now that a 19-game losing streak has ended, the Orioles can win a series for the first time in about a month if they beat the Los Angeles Angels today. It's the final game of a three-game series and the sixth game of a nine-game homestand. The Orioles hit three homers off right-hander Shohei Ohtani last night - Cedric Mullins, Anthony Santander and DJ Stewart all connected - as they won 10-6. It was the Orioles' first win since Aug. 2 and first home win since July 28. After they had scored...

The homers, the bullpen and the fans get credit for streak-ender

The homers, the bullpen and the fans get credit for streak-ender
It was not an evening billed as "Fantastic Fans Night" as it was in May 1988. Then, just days after the Orioles had snapped their 0-21 start to the season, more than 50,000 fans showed up to welcome them home at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. But when the Orioles rallied for five runs in the last of the eighth last night and took a 10-6 lead over the Los Angeles Angels, a crowd of 15,867 - some of them there, no doubt, because Shohei Ohtani was pitching - roared their approval. It sounded...

Three homers off Ohtani, eighth-inning rally end losing streak

Three homers off Ohtani, eighth-inning rally end losing streak
The Orioles may have pulled this game out tonight with an eighth-inning rally, but some things that happened before that were also vital as the club snapped a 19-game losing streak, the second-longest in team history. The Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-6 to win for the first time since they beat the New York Yankees 7-1 on Aug. 2. The losing streak ends two short of the club record. It started with the power surge off Los Angeles Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani began the night...

The pitcher standing between the Orioles tonight and possibly ending the second-longest losing streak in club history is also the major league homer run leader. The Los Angeles Angels' amazing right-hander, Shohei Ohtani, who has hit 40 homers while also posting an 8-1 record and 2.79 ERA on the mound, will bat and pitch versus the Orioles tonight at Camden Yards. He is facing the Orioles as a pitcher for the first time. On the year, Ohtani has thrown 100 innings, allowing 67 hits and just...

They are No. 1: O's move to top of farm rankings
They are No. 1, the best farm system in all of Major League Baseball. The Orioles moved to the top spot in the latest organizational rankings released last night by MLBPipeline.com. Just eight days ago, the Orioles were ranked No. 2 by Baseball America. So this news comes at a time when the Orioles have the worst record in the majors and a 19-game losing streak after Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The Orioles had the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2019, No. 2 the next year and No....

The Orioles drafted him No. 4 overall out of an Oklahoma high school in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. Starting in 2012 and running through the 2019 season, right-hander Dylan Bundy pitched in 127 games with the Orioles. Tonight he will face them for the first time, standing between his former club and their possible ending of an 18-game losing streak. On Dec. 4, 2019, the club traded Bundy to the Los Angeles Angels for minor leaguer right-handers Kyle Bradish, Kyle Brnovich, Isaac Mattson...
