Toronto produces walk-off win in the 15th inning
TORONTO - A marathon game that featured 21 runs, 29 hits, 10 homers and 20 pitchers finally ended early Tuesday morning at Toronto.

Hyde on Hays making push for 2020 spot and more (O's lose in 15)

Just as expected, rebuilding is hard and not for everyone

Just as expected, rebuilding is hard and not for everyone
Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias spoke a blunt truth about the team's immediate future in 2020. He said, essentially, that wins and losses are not going to be critical next season, as the club's rebuilding is still in the early stages. This comes as common sense to some fans and rubs others the wrong way. We found out this year another truth: Rebuilding is hard, and some fans have a hard time dealing with mounting losses. Now those fans realize that next year...

Chris Davis hits tiebreaking homer as O's take home finale

Chris Davis hits tiebreaking homer as O's take home finale
As if to remind us that his last start in Detroit was very much the exception and not the rule, lefty John Means threw another strong game today for the Orioles in the 2019 home finale. Chris Davis also took fans back a bit - to days when he hit important homers. He hit one today in the seventh to break a 1-1 tie as the Orioles beat Seattle 2-1. The O's are now 51-105 and completed their home schedule with a 25-56 record. They won a series for the first time since taking two of three from...

Mychal Givens' recent struggles continue in O's Saturday night loss

Mychal Givens' recent struggles continue in O's Saturday night loss
It took them 13 innings to lose, but the Orioles trailed for the first time last night in the top of the eighth when Seattle's J.P. Crawford hit a three-run homer off right-hander Mychal Givens. Givens has had a rough last week, but for many weeks before that, it appeared he was set up for a big finish to his 2019 season. Then it all changed Those struggles have been puzzling, as he's now allowed three homers in his last four games, all in the last week. Before that, Givens had given up just...

In MVO year, Mancini kept thriving even if his team did not

In MVO year, Mancini kept thriving even if his team did not
Trey Mancini said it has not been too challenging to play well while his team continued to lose a lot. The losing was pretty much expected for the Orioles, but Mancini needed to prove in 2019 that he could play more like he did in 2017, when he finished third in the American League Rookie of the Year voting. So after he was named the 2019 Most Valuable Oriole on Friday, Mancini said it was not much of an issue for him to put together a strong individual season for the team with the second-worst...

Aaron Brooks throws seven strong in relief as O's win
Tonight the Orioles used an opener, but it was the pitcher that came next that made the biggest difference.

The Orioles (50-104) ended a four-game losing streak and won for the first time on this homestand. They beat a Seattle (65-89) team that had won five in a row and seven of nine as this night...

Was O's center fielder of the future on display at the Yard?

Was O's center fielder of the future on display at the Yard?
The last two nights at Camden Yards, 24-year-old outfielder Austin Hays reminded us of the fantastic year he had in 2017. One that ended with him being named the Orioles' Minor League Player of the Year and one of five finalists as Baseball America's National Player of the Year. That season, Hays batted a combined .329/.365/.593 with 32 doubles, five triples, 32 home runs and 95 RBIs in 128 games at Single-A Frederick and Double-A Bowie.

The 'pen struggles again as O's are swept by Blue Jays

The 'pen struggles again as O's are swept by Blue Jays
There was no late lead that got away tonight. But there was a close game to be won and the Orioles bullpen once again came up short in trying to make that happen. After throwing a strong game and leaving with a man on second and one out in the seventh, Orioles right-hander Gabriel Ynoa saw the 'pen give it up again. Toronto scored six runs on four hits and three walks in the seventh to snap a 2-2 tie and beat the Orioles 8-4 tonight at Camden Yards. They sweep the three-game series as the O's...

Austin Hays on finishing strong and playing with Ryan Mountcastle

Austin Hays on finishing strong and playing with Ryan Mountcastle
Injuries limited him to 87 games in the minors this year, but as the big league season winds down, outfielder Austin Hays is playing well and enjoying his health. He started to feel about 100 percent late in the year and the Orioles are seeing what a healthy Hays can do. Last night, he went 3-for-5, was on base four times, had two doubles, drove in a run, scored twice and ignited a bottom-of-the-ninth rally with a bunt single. Not to mention the abandon and talent he plays with while running in...

O's game blog: Trying to avoid being swept
The Orioles have been swept in a series 12 times this year, yet they do not have one sweep to call their own. That number grows to 13 if they lose tonight. A couple of bullpen meltdowns - after a 25-game run where the 'pen put up strong numbers - have led to back-to-back losses by 8-5 and 11-10 scores to Toronto. The O's bullpen has allowed 15 runs (13 earned) and 18 hits in nine innings in this series. O's pitchers have allowed 19 runs and 12 walks in the two games. Jonathan Villar (No. 23)...

When healthy, Dwight Smith Jr. tried to run with his opportunity

When healthy, Dwight Smith Jr. tried to run with his opportunity
On March 8, outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. got traded from the Blue Jays to the Orioles for international bonus money. He was about to leave the only organization he knew. The one that drafted him 53rd overall in 2011. He had played over 700 games in seven seasons on the Blue Jays' farm and briefly in the majors for Toronto in 2017 and 2018. And now he wondered how it would all turn out upon being traded. "I was just thinking, 'What's next?' " he recalled yesterday in the O's clubhouse. "I...

Another one got away: O's blow 7-1 lead against Blue Jays
For the Orioles tonight, it was an epic late-inning meltdown. A 7-1 lead after four innings was not safe and neither was a 9-5 lead going to the ninth. Last night's loss was pretty brutal. This was worse. The Orioles lost 11-10 to Toronto tonight at Camden Yards to fall to 49-103 with 10 games remaining in the season. Called on to pitch with the O's up 9-5 in the ninth, Miguel Castro got an out and then walked two around a bloop single. With Toronto later down to their last out, Cavan Biggio...
