This marks the first time that the Orioles have ranked in the publication's Top 10 since entering the 2010 season, when they also ranked No. 8. The O's also ranked No. 8 when entering the 1994 and...

Trying to recap the craziest game of the 2019 season

Trying to recap the craziest game of the 2019 season
ANAHEIM, Calif. - On a night when Mychal Givens could not hold a lead in the ninth and Tanner Scott could not in the 15th, Stevie Wilkerson did in the 16th. And the Orioles recorded an exhausting and emotional win over the Los Angeles Angels in the second-longest game by time in Orioles history. It took six hours and 19 minutes. The longest game ever by the Orioles took six hours and 54 minutes. That one took place on Sept. 20, 2013 at Tampa Bay. This one started at 7:08 p.m. Pacific Time and...

Villar's homer in the 16th leads O's to crazy win in Anaheim

Villar's homer in the 16th leads O's to crazy win in Anaheim
ANAHEIM, Calif. - When this game began many, many hours ago, Jonathan Villar was 0-for-15 on this road trip and had two hits his last 22 at-bats. But he delivered a two-run homer in the 16th tonight, and the Orioles, finally, finally had a win. They outlasted the Los Angeles Angels 10-8 in a game that ended after 4 a.m. EDT. Villar's hit was the latest (in terms of innings) go-ahead homer in O's history. To make matters crazier, Stevie Wilkerson went from center field to the mound and retired...

Brandon Hyde on moves, O's Baseball America rating (game update)
ANAHEIM, Calif. - In explaining the Orioles latest roster moves - Rio Ruiz was optioned to Triple-A last night and today the club added Jace Peterson from Norfolk - manager Brandon Hyde said this was much more about the player coming then going. "It was more about getting Jace here," said Hyde. "Jace had a really nice year in Triple-A and is going to add some versatility to our club. Can play middle infield, third base as well as corner outfield. He's earned it. He has really swung the bat...

Jace Peterson on his return to Orioles
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Jace Peterson played in 93 games for the Orioles last season. Tonight, for the start of a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels, he rejoins the club. This comes nine days after Peterson opted out of his Orioles minor league contract and briefly was a free agent. Three days later he re-signed with the club. Less than a week after that, he's back in the majors. "I got to go see the family for a little bit," Peterson says of his brief free agency. "Got to look...

Bowie manager Buck Britton: "It's been a special turnaround"

Bowie manager Buck Britton: "It's been a special turnaround"
While Orioles farm teams at Triple-A Norfolk and Single-A Frederick have struggled this year, four other affiliates went into play last night in first place. Those were clubs at Double-A Bowie (25-7), Single-A Delmarva (21-10), short-season Single-A Aberdeen (23-15) and the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Orioles (16-7). But no team has had such a remarkable turnaround this year as Bowie. The Baysox were 7-23 on May 5. That was not only the worst record in the Eastern League at that time, it was...

O's lefty Alex Wells moved to Double-A and met the challenge

O's lefty Alex Wells moved to Double-A and met the challenge
When left-hander Alex Wells had solid stats last year at Single-A Frederick but was not as dominant as he was the previous season at Single-A Delmarva, you had to wonder if some of his doubters would be proven right. The lefty without the big fastball would have it tougher as he moved up the Orioles' minor league ladder. Surely hitters would figure him out with more frequency as he got closer to the majors. Then came the 2019 season. The 22-year-old from Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia...

A look at Wojciechowski's swing-and-miss stuff

A look at Wojciechowski's swing-and-miss stuff
Yes, it's a small sample size, but yes, it sure has been impressive. The topic is Asher Wojciechowski's swing-and-miss stuff, seen yesterday and also right before the All-Star break in Toronto. At Rogers Centre on July 7, Wojciechowski had a nasty slider going in the early innings, and Blue Jays batters could not make consistent contact against it. In the second and third innings that day he threw nine sliders and got six swings and misses. He threw 80 pitches in that game and got 19 swings...

Asher Wojciechowski with a gem as O's win and take series

Asher Wojciechowski with a gem as O's win and take series
The day after the Boston Red Sox scored 17 runs, Orioles right-hander Asher Wojciechowski showed us that even baseball's highest-scoring team can be pitched to. Wojciechowski had a no-hitter through six innings on a steamy afternoon and spun 7 1/3 scoreless innings as the Orioles blanked the Red Sox 5-0 at Camden Yards. The Orioles ended a 10-series winless stretch against Boston that dated to September 2017. Boston had gone 8-0-2 in its last 10 series and 19-3 in its last 22 games in...

Needing a fresh arm after position player Stevie Wilkerson had to pitch the last two innings last night, the Orioles today recalled pitcher Branden Kline from Triple-A Norfolk as outfielder Keon Broxton was designated for assignment. Kline is back to try and unlock the key to major league success. In three previous stints in the bigs this year, he is 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA over 20 games. Over his past 11 big league games, his ERA is 10.03 over 11 2/3 innings. "Really trying to get ahead and...

Can well-traveled Wojciechowski slow the Boston bats?
The Orioles enjoyed blowout wins Wednesday and Friday when their pitching staff gave up two runs each night. But in allowing 17 runs last night, they absorbed a 17-6 blowout loss to Boston.

O's pitching gets hammered in 17-6 loss to Red Sox

O's pitching gets hammered in 17-6 loss to Red Sox
When they fell behind early by five runs, the Orioles pulled even on the scoreboard. When they fell behind by 11, that was too big of a hole to dig out of. Boston scored eight runs in the fourth and three in the fifth and turned what was once a 5-5 tie into a blowout win tonight. They beat the Orioles 17-6 in front of 21,339 at Camden Yards. With one out and none on in the Boston fourth, O's shortstop Richie Martin made an error. Ironically it made all eight runs the Red Sox would score that...
