O's game blog: O's try to salvage series finale with Boston

O's game blog: O's try to salvage series finale with Boston
Coming off a pair of 11-inning losses by 10-8 and 1-0 scores, the Orioles need to win tonight to avoid getting swept three straight by Boston. Although the Red Sox swept series of two and four games in Baltimore last season, their last three-game sweep at Oriole Park was from Sept. 18-20, 2009. Boston (87-64) has won 10 of its last 13 games and leads New York by 2 1/2 games atop the American League East after the Yankees won this afternoon. Boston is a season-high 23 games over .500 and is...

For his next trick, Austin Hays will bat leadoff against Chris Sale

For his next trick, Austin Hays will bat leadoff against Chris Sale
With seven hits, including three extra-base hits his last four games, Orioles outfielder Austin Hays will put that hot streak to the test tonight against Boston left-hander Chris Sale (16-7, 2.84 ERA). The rookie will be facing a pitcher that has finished in the top six of the American League Cy Young vote in the last five years. A pitcher that leads the league with 287 strikeouts over 201 1/3 innings. He needs 13 more strikeouts to become the first AL pitcher with 300 since Pedro Martinez for...

Kevin Gausman's second half is encouraging in looking toward 2018

Kevin Gausman's second half is encouraging in looking toward 2018
For the second night in a row, the Orioles lost in 11 innings to Boston. They lost once when scoring eight runs and once when allowing just one run. They were 12-2 in extra-inning games heading into this series. It was tough to lose when their starting pitcher threw as well as Kevin Gausman did last night. He pitched eight scoreless allowing just three singles to a Boston team that is leading the American League East by three games. Gausman pitched his seventh scoreless start of 2017, his fifth...

O's fall again in extra innings to Boston (with quotes)

O's fall again in extra innings to Boston (with quotes)
Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman was pitching a gem, but the Red Sox pitchers were matching zeros with him. Gausman went eight innings, but the game went 11 and the winning run scored on a bases-loaded wild pitch. Boston beat the Orioles 1-0 to take the first two games of this series and win their first series this year against the Orioles, who fall to 73-79 with 10 games left. They have lost 11 of 13 games and are 5-14 over the past 19 games. Pitching the top of the 11th of a 0-0 tie,...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman looks for 12th win against Boston
After just their third extra-inning loss of the year in 12 games last night, the Orioles host Boston again tonight. It's the second game of a three-game series and seven-game homestand. The Orioles are 73-78 with 11 games to play, meaning they need to go 8-3 or better to post a .500 or better finish. They are 5-13 since the end of a seven-game winning streak. The Orioles are 44-31 at home, 35-32 against American League East opponents and 10-7 versus the Red Sox. The Orioles offense has scored...

In a tough loss, Pedro Álvarez had a productive night for the O's

In a tough loss, Pedro Álvarez had a productive night for the O's
He was just 1-for-9 with the Orioles since they called up him up Sept. 1 from Triple-A Norfolk. But in a 10-8 loss to the Red Sox in 11 innings last night, Pedro Álvarez batted five times and reached base five times. Batting eighth as the designated hitter, he walked in the second and third innings, homered to right in the fifth and singled in the seventh and 10th innings. That is a 3-for-3 night with a pair of bases on balls for the veteran who re-signed with the club on March...

Boston scores two in the 11th to rally and beat O's (with quotes)
The Boston Red Sox picked up a win important to their AL East title hopes. The Orioles just added another loss and more frustration. Boston trailed by five runs in the fifth inning tonight, but rallied to tie the game and then won it 10-8 in 11 innings over the Orioles. Now 86-64, they stay three games ahead of the Yankees for first place. The Orioles fall to 73-78 with their 10th loss in the last 12 games. This was the start of the final homestand of the year. After he pitched a 1-2-3 tenth,...

O's game blog: O's host Boston to start final homestand
The Orioles are not officially a spoiler yet - their wild card hope is still mathematically possible - but they could make life more difficult for the AL East leading Boston Red Sox the next three nights at Camden Yards. Boston leads the division by three games over New York, but the Red Sox have not won a series against the Orioles this year. The Orioles lead the season series 10 wins to six. The clubs have split a series of two games and two series of four games each. The Orioles won a...

Chance Sisco talks defense, his 2017 season and arrival in MLB

Chance Sisco talks defense, his 2017 season and arrival in MLB
So for the Orioles, it seems the kids are all right. Catcher Chance Sisco has batted five times in the majors with a double, homer and two walks earning a nice .667 average and .800 OBP. Over his last two games in New York, outfielder Austin Hays went 4-for-7 with a homer and three RBIs. Sisco and Hays are both 22. For both, the future may be now. They are getting the opportunity to show what they can do and to also show that they might help this team next year, and maybe as soon as opening day...

O's game blog: Orioles try to avoid sweep in the Bronx
The Orioles have one more chance to end a miserable weekend in New York with a win. They play the Yankees today in the finale of a four-game series. They've lost the first three games in the Bronx by a combined 30-10 score, and they've allowed nine homers. In the three games, O's starters lasted a combined 7 2/3 innings, giving up 15 hits and 15 runs (14 earned). The Orioles bullpen has allowed 15 runs on six homers in 16 1/3 in the series. Today the Yankees go for their first four-game home...

Is extra rest the key to a solid future rotation?

Is extra rest the key to a solid future rotation?
We have seen some of the Orioles pitchers throw well on extra rest in the second half of the season. Big league teams use five-man rotations for the most part, which means their starters most often pitch with four days of rest between starts. But in the second half of the season the Orioles have provided pitchers at times more than four days' rest, and it has produced solid results. When Kevin Gausman has gotten five days' rest, he is 2-2 with a 3.53 ERA in nine starts. Over 51 innings he has...

O's game blog: Hellickson against Montgomery in New York
After 13-5 and 8-2 losses the last two nights, the Orioles play in New York this afternoon looking to get their first win in this four-game series. At 72-76, the Orioles have followed a season-best seven-game win streak by going 4-11. They have lost eight of their last nine and nine of 11 games. They are 28-46 on the road. The Orioles have 14 games left and would need to go 9-5 to finish at 81-81. A 10-4 or better finish would produce a winning season. The Orioles have not had a losing record...

Solid year: DJ Stewart produced 20-20 season at Bowie

Solid year: DJ Stewart produced 20-20 season at Bowie
Most minor league players do not put up much better statistics in Double-A than they posted at lower levels on the farm. But outfielder DJ Stewart is not like most minor league players. Written off on some message boards as a first-round bust when he hit .218 at short-season Single-A Aberdeen after the 2015 draft, Stewart emerged this season with the best year of his career. It ended with him ranking among the Eastern League leaders in several offensive categories. It also ended with Stewart as...

O's game blog: Can Ynoa slow the New York offense?
As the Orioles look to get their offense going again, tonight they face the challenge of New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino (12-6, 2.96 ERA). Severino is third in the American League in ERA, opponents batting average (.209) and WHIP (1.05) and fourth with 211 strikeouts. He has been even better than his overall stats in the second half. The 23-year-old Severino is 7-2 with a 2.07 ERA in 11 starts since the break. That is the best ERA in the league in that time and he has given up one...

Chance Sisco provides highlights during blowout loss at NY

Chance Sisco provides highlights during blowout loss at NY
Chance Sisco showed a smooth swing and a quick bat as he picked up his first two major league hits last night. That was easily the highlight for the Orioles in a 13-5 loss at Yankee Stadium. Easily. Sisco pinch-hit in the seventh and lined a double down the right-field line. In the ninth he turned around a 95 mph fastball and homered to right. Scouts have always rated Sisco's ability to hit for average over his power. He hit a career-high seven homers this year in 97 games at Triple-A Norfolk...

O's game blog: O's have allowed 68 runs in six games at Yankee Stadium
As the Orioles begin a four-game series in the Bronx tonight, to say the least, the Orioles need to start pitching better against New York. The Orioles trail 9-6 in the season series. They have a combined 7.49 team ERA in those games and New York is batting .315/.412/.573 against Baltimore pitching with 36 homers and a team OPS of .985 in the 15 games. The Yankees have scored 120 runs in those games and that is the highest total by any team against any opponent this season. New York's 8.00...

Yacabonis looking to make an impression (O's end loss streak)

Yacabonis looking to make an impression (O's end loss streak)
TORONTO - The month of September gives some players in the Orioles clubhouse a chance to show what they can do at the major league level. And perhaps give themselves a jump on making the team next year. That is true for Orioles right-handed reliever Jimmy Yacabonis, the club's 13th-round pick in 2013 out of St. Joseph's University. The 25-year-old Yacabonis had brief stints with the team earlier this year from June 11-15 and July 2-4. But he has pitched four times this month, throwing 5 2/3...

O's score early, hold on to end six-game losing streak (with quotes)
TORONTO - In an effort to stop a losing streak tonight, the Orioles took an early lead and then held on to see if their pitching staff could hold a narrow advantage. They did. After losing three straight games by one run and six straight overall, the Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 tonight in front of 31,714 at Rogers Centre. They improved to 72-74 and avoided getting swept three straight. Right-hander Kevin Gausman, pitching on five days' rest, went seven innings, allowing six hits and...

Showalter on Hays: "His time will come" (game update)

Showalter on Hays: "His time will come" (game update)
TORONTO - It is a question being asked a lot around Birdland: If the Orioles took the leap to bring up outfielder Austin Hays and add him to their 40-man roster, why is he not playing more? Especially at a time when the Orioles are not getting a lot of offense out of the right field spot. In September, Mark Trumbo is batting .238 (10-for-42), Joey Rickard is hitting .118 (2-for-17) and Seth Smith is batting .100 (2-for-20). Has Showalter considered putting the kid out there? "Oh, sure. Have I...

Ynoa gets Friday start and chance to audition for 2018 role
TORONTO - He made a start for the Orioles last Saturday at Cleveland and right-hander Gabriel Ynoa will get another chance in the rotation this weekend in New York. He is listed by the Orioles to start on Friday night at Yankee Stadium. Through six games and one start, the 24-year-old native of the Dominican Republic is 1-1 with a 4.19 ERA for the Orioles. In 4 2/3 innings at Cleveland, he gave up seven hits and three runs on 77 pitches. Now he gets the start in Yankee Stadium. "I'm very...
