Miguel Castro on meeting his baseball hero

Miguel Castro on meeting his baseball hero
TORONTO - If you are a pitcher from the Dominican Republic in your 20s, you probably admire the great Pedro Martinez, a Dominican native and national baseball Hall of Famer. He was an eight-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young Award Winner. Miguel Castro is a 23-year-old O's pitcher from La Romana, Dominican Republic. Through the magic of television, he met his baseball hero yesterday, although he didn't know it was going to happen. Castro and interpreter Ramón Alarcón went on MLB...

Dylan Bundy pitches tonight, searching for answers and results

Dylan Bundy pitches tonight, searching for answers and results
TORONTO - When Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy takes the mound tonight at Toronto's Rogers Centre he will try to get his season - one that once looked very promising - turned back around. Bundy began the year with an ERA of 1.42 through five starts. In June his ERA was 1.98 for the month and 3.75 for the year as June ended. But that ERA has been on a steady climb upward lately and Bundy's homer rate has gone up again. In seven starts since the calender turned to July, he is 1-4 with an ERA...

O's lose 5-3, fall to 0-8 at Toronto for the season (with quotes)

O's lose 5-3, fall to 0-8 at Toronto for the season (with quotes)
TORONTO - The Orioles still don't have what it takes this year to win at Rogers Centre. An early lead tonight certainly wasn't enough, as Kendrys Morales homered twice in Toronto's series-opening 5-3 win in front of 25,031. The Orioles (37-88) fall to 1-3 on this road trip and to 0-8 at Rogers Centre with two games remaining in the season series. Toronto is 10-1 on the season against the Orioles - its most wins against Baltimore since recording 15 in 2010. Toronto (56-69) snapped a four-game...

Trumbo, batting .261 with 17 homers and 44 RBIs, went on the 10-day disabled list today with right knee inflammation. The Orioles are still trying to determine the timetable for his return. "Hopefully, there is not any real structural changes," Showalter said. "We'll see. Yesterday,, I could tell he was struggling. Usually,...

A look at mounting strikeouts in MLB and the O's record in Toronto

A look at mounting strikeouts in MLB and the O's record in Toronto
This could prove to be a unique year in Major League Baseball. It could turn out to be the first one we've ever seen where there are more strikeouts than base hits. Years ago, there was no chance we would see that. But in an excellent column recently in the New York Times, Tyler Kepner wrote this: "This could be the first season in major league history to feature more strikeouts than hits, a slowdown that worries many league officials. Thirty years ago, batters compiled nearly 13,000 more...

The Orioles have played two pretty solid games in Cleveland this weekend and they posted an impressive 4-2 win on Saturday afternoon to end the Indians' six-game win streak.

After right-hander David Hess delivered the Orioles' fifth quality start in the last 10 games last night, right-hander Alex Cobb (3-15, 5.31 ERA) will look to add to that total this afternoon. After Friday's 2-1 loss at Cleveland, the Orioles play the second game of a three-game set with the Indians. Cobb has two of those five quality starts and he's been pitching his best ball of the year lately. Cobb has allowed exactly one earned run in four of his past five starts. He has recorded four...

A few notes on Hess, Núñez, Hall and Thome

A few notes on Hess, Núñez, Hall and Thome
The Orioles are now 50 games under .500 at 36-86 after Friday's 2-1 loss at Cleveland. The Orioles are 15-46 on the road with 17 losses in their last 20 away from Oriole Park. With 40 games to go, the Orioles would have to go 27-13 to avoid 100 losses. Despite another loss, right-hander David Hess pitched well enough to win and that was a positive development. He recorded his first quality start since June 7 and his fifth on the year. After an extended stretch of tough starts, Hess may be...

After SEC success, Blaine Knight starts pro career at Aberdeen

After SEC success, Blaine Knight starts pro career at Aberdeen
ABERDEEN, Md. - He has pitched in big-time Southeastern Conference college games on Friday nights for two years. Those are high-intensity, high-pressure games in the top college league in the country. A lot is riding on every pitch. In the college game, Friday night starters are the aces for each club, and their rabid fans expect them to win. University of Arkansas right-hander Blaine Knight seemed to thrive in that pressure cooker. He pitched well enough this year to lead Arkansas to the...

A look at Zac Lowther, the O's minor league ERA leader
In a year in which a few Orioles pitchers have excelled on the farm there are more than a few contenders for the Jim Palmer award, which goes to the minor league Pitcher of the Year in the O's system. Just to name several in no particular order, there are Keegan Akin, DL Hall, Michael Baumann, Brenan Hanifee, Cameron Bishop, John Means and even the defending winner from 2017, Alex Wells, who pitched in the All-Star Futures Game. Those pitchers have been solid. But 22-year-old lefty Zac...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy and O's go for sweep against Mets
As the Orioles look for a two-game sweep of the New York Mets tonight, they will also look for right-hander Dylan Bundy (7-10, 4.70 ERA) to get back on track. In his last start versus Boston, Bundy went five innings and allowed eight hits and eight runs (seven earned). Over his past six starts since the beginning of July, Bundy is 1-3 with a 7.72 ERA and has allowed 11 homers. He has yielded nine homers his past four starts. This stretch comes after Bundy went 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA in June. He...

Adam Jones on Cedric Mullins and playing in right, plus farm notes

Adam Jones on Cedric Mullins and playing in right, plus farm notes
Maybe playing right field is going to be good for Adam Jones on offense. I'm kidding here, but Jones did go 2-for-4 last night with a double and solo homer. In five games as a right fielder, he's 7-for-20 and batting .350/.409/.600 with an OPS of 1.009. Interviewed after last night's 6-3 win over the New York Mets, Jones wasn't offering much yet when asked how he's getting along in right field. "Fine," he said. "Less running. I've only been at it five games, so I'll let you know when...

Cashner was solid and Davis hits go-ahead homer (with quotes)

Cashner was solid and Davis hits go-ahead homer (with quotes)
Getting a solid starting pitching effort and a key late-game homer led the Orioles to a win tonight over the New York Mets. When the 2018 season began, they probably envisioned more than a few games going this way, but at least it did tonight to keep the Orioles from falling 50 games under the .500 mark. Chris Davis homered in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and Andrew Cashner pitched a strong seven innings in a 6-3 win over the Mets. The Orioles are 36-84 for the season and 3-0 versus the Mets....

When they played a two-game series against the New York Mets in early June at Citi Field, the Orioles swept the two games. They won 2-1 and 1-0 behind Alex Cobb and Dylan Bundy.

This one begins at 7:05 p.m. at Camden Yards and continues on Wednesday night.

Cody Carroll starts to settle in with O's, looks for consistent results
New bullpen right-hander Cody Carroll has pitched four times for the Orioles since they acquired him from the Yankees in the July 24 trade for closer Zach Britton. Carroll pitched two scoreless innings his first two times out on 31 pitches. But his last two games have seen him walk five and allow three runs over 1 2/3 innings. After posting strong numbers this year in Triple-A, he is now trying to find his way in the majors for the first time. He's trying to get to that point where a young...
