Division champs: Delmarva celebrates clinching a playoff berth

Division champs: Delmarva celebrates clinching a playoff berth
Single-A Delmarva manager Kyle Moore admits he didn't know exactly how to feel. His team had just lost 1-0 at West Virginia, but in the visiting clubhouse, his players were listening to the Hickory-Greensboro game. If Greensboro lost, Delmarva would clinch a playoff berth even on a night the Shorebirds didn't win. Well, about 20 minutes after the Shorebirds lost, so did Greensboro. Then a celebration began as the team that has posted the best record in the minors this year at 46-18 enjoyed...

John Means gets his sixth win as O's take series opener

John Means gets his sixth win as O's take series opener
Left-hander John Means had another productive start for the Orioles tonight. However, it was not a long one, thanks to two lengthy plate appearances in the first inning. But Means did allow just one run over five innings tonight to get the win as the Orioles beat Toronto 4-2 to open a three-game series. While the Blue Jays (23-43) lost for the fifth game in a row and the 15th time in their last 18, the Orioles improved to 21-45. They moved to within two games of fourth-place Toronto improving...

O's game blog: Means pitches series opener (plus notes on Frederick's All-Stars)
Coming off a 2-4 road trip to Texas and Houston, the Orioles begin a six-game homestand tonight. They host Toronto to start a three-game series, with Boston following the Blue Jays to Oriole Park starting Friday. The Orioles (20-45) begin this series three games behind the Blue Jays (23-42) for fourth-place in the American League East. The Orioles continue to look for their first series win since April 22-24 against the Chicago White Sox. They have gone 0-12-1 in the past 13 series. Toronto was...

Shorebirds don't clinch yet as Orioles return home

Shorebirds don't clinch yet as Orioles return home
Single-A Delmarva clinching its first playoff appearance in 14 years will have to wait at least until tonight. The Shorebirds were a few outs from clinching last night, but West Virginia hit a grand slam down three runs in the last of the eighth to stun Delmarva in a comeback 5-4 win. So instead of wrapping up the first-half title in the South Atlantic League's Northern Division, the Shorebirds title will have to wait. Their magic number remains one with six games left. Delmarva was 34-1 when...

O's notes on Dylan Bundy, Adley Rutschman and Delmarva

O's notes on Dylan Bundy, Adley Rutschman and Delmarva
A few notes and thoughts on the Orioles road trip that ended Sunday. They went 2-4 on a homestand versus the Tigers and Giants, but the 2-4 on the road against Texas and Houston seemed better. There were six competitive games against teams that currently hold American League playoff berths. Bundy was good again: Fans an media alike have analyzed - and probably overanalyzed - Dylan Bundy's pitching. But for now, he's pitching well again. Bundy allowed four hits and three runs (two earned) over...

O's game blog: Looking for a win in a rubber match game in Houston

O's game blog: Looking for a win in a rubber match game in Houston
Looking for their first series win since April 22-24, the Orioles will try to win one today in an unlikely place to do so. Houston has not lost a series this season at Minute Maid Park and, at 23-9, has the best home record in the league. But today the O's will look for back-to-back wins there. If they get that, they'll snap both their 0-11-1 run in series play and Houston's 9-0-1 winning series run. Houston is 7-0-2 in home series in 2019. On the mound today, right-hander Dylan Bundy (3-6,...

Will the search for a series win end in Houston?

Will the search for a series win end in Houston?
The Houston Astros have not lost a home series all year. Could it be the Baltimore Orioles are the first team to change that stat? Yep, the Orioles have a chance today to win a series at Houston after they followed an 11-inning loss Friday night with Saturday's 4-1 victory at Minute Maid Park. Renato Núñez hit his ninth homer in the last 18 games to give them a 1-0 lead in the sixth, and Richie Martin's second homer in four games and third of the year was big. Martin hit a two-run shot...

O's game blog: Andrew Cashner on the mound at Houston
The Houston Astros (44-21) are tied with Minnesota for the best win percentage in the majors at .677. They have a 10-game lead atop the American League West and are 26-7 since May 4. They are a most formidable opponent that the Orioles took to extra innings last night. Leading 3-0 in the fourth, the O's saw Houston homer twice in the fifth to tie it up, and then win it in the last of the 11th on walk-off double by Robinson Chirinos. Houston is 7-1 over its past eight games and has the best...

Another one-run loss, plus Friday on the farm

Another one-run loss, plus Friday on the farm
That's four games on the road trip and four one-run games with three losses for the Orioles. Very competitive yet again, they did some good things but failed to win. Thanks to an error and a few timely hits, they took a 3-0 lead on Houston right-hander Gerrit Cole through four innings. Rio Ruiz had a clutch two-out, bases-loaded single in the first. Chance Sisco hit his first homer of the year and fifth of his career in the third. Sisco did a nice job to wait on a curveball over the outside...

O's game blog: Gabriel Ynoa pitches series opener at Houston
After the Orioles went 1-2 at Texas, their road trip moves to Houston and Minute Maid Park. They'll play the Astros tonight in the opener of a three-game series. It's a matchup of a Houston (43-21) club that is tied with Minnesota for the best win percentage in the American League against an O's club (19-43) that has a win percentage of .306 to equal Kansas City at the bottom of the AL. While the Orioles are 0-11-1 in their past 12 series, Houston is 9-0-1 in its last 10. The Astros lost 100...

Gunnar Henderson interview, plus O's notes and Delmarva getting close

Gunnar Henderson interview, plus O's notes and Delmarva getting close
During an interview Thursday on 105.7 FM the Fan in Baltimore, Orioles second-round draft pick Gunnar Henderson covered a lot of ground. He included his love for the sport, a belief he can stay at shortstop, his power swing and his current Auburn commitment. With the No. 42 overall pick Monday night, the O's selected the 17-year-old lefty batting prep shortstop from John T. Morgan Academy in Selma, Ala. Henderson was rated the No. 30 prospect in this draft class by Baseball America and No. 27...

O's game blog: Looking for a series victory in Texas
For the Orioles, the search for the elusive series win could end tonight in Arlington, Texas. Without a series victory since April 22-24 versus the Chicago White Sox, they will try to win tonight's rubber match game against Texas. The Orioles (19-42) allowed 11 runs Tuesday but won. They allowed just two runs in 12 innings last night but lost. When Richie Martin homered in the ninth to tie it up last night, the Orioles had a chance for their first win this year when trailing after eight...

A few notes from the Orioles' 2019 draft
Over the last three days the Orioles drafted 41 players over 40 rounds of the First-Year Player draft. They selected 33 college players and just eight from the high school ranks.

He was taken in round 38. * The first 13 pitchers they selected were right-handers with the first lefty coming in round 27. In all they drafted 16...

O's game blog: Looking for back-to-back wins in Texas
After their crazy 12-11 win at Texas last night, the Orioles play the Rangers again tonight in the second game of a three-game series and six-game road trip. The O's (19-41) now have two shots to win their first series since April 22-24 versus the White Sox. A win tonight would give them their first two-game win streak since May 4-6. The Orioles have now won the series-opening game for a third straight series. The O's tied a season-high for runs last night. They also scored 12 on April 8...

A look at the Orioles' draft today through round 40

They added a first baseman, third baseman, two center fielders and one player just listed as an infielder. All 20 picks so far today have come from college. So through round 30,...

GM Elias on day two of the draft
After selecting a star college catcher, high school shortstop and college center fielder on the first day of the First-Year Player Draft, the Orioles continued a run yesterday on college position players in the middle of the diamond. It began with a speedy outfielder from the SEC, and the club did not select a single pitcher until round eight. There were two senior signs that could produce some pool savings to use for an overslot signing or two. The first draft class for executive vice...
