O's minor league notebook includes notes on Hays & Mountcastle

O's minor league notebook includes notes on Hays & Mountcastle
The Single-A Frederick Keys are now one win away from a Carolina League championship. Well, a co-championship any way. The league office announced today the cancellation of the Carolina League Mills Cup championship series with a hurricane on the way. One of the four competing teams, Myrtle Beach, plays in a city that could be evacuated and sometimes real life matters top even baseball. It was a sensible decision. So the league decided that the two winners of the semi-finals series will be...

Some baseball games have many twists and turns. For reporters trying to produce a story on the game, key elements of the game and the story keep changing. That was true of last night's Carolina League playoff series opener in Frederick between the Keys and Lynchburg. First the story was Lynchburg's starting pitcher dominating the Keys. But then Frederick changed the script, scored four runs in the seventh and finally got to Lynchburg's Aaron Civale. The Keys led 5-4. But not long after that,...

Playoffs begin with Frederick looking for an upset (updated)
FREDERICK, Md. - When the Carolina League playoffs begin tonight at Frederick's Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium, there is a clear favorite. It's not the home team.

Kendall on Mullins, Hays stacks up, Gausman faces New York
BOWIE, Md. - When the Eastern League playoffs begin tonight as Double-A Bowie hosts Altoona in a best of five series, Baysox manager Gary Kendall is confident he can count on outfielder Cedric Mullins. The young man was the talk of Orioles spring training camp in March as he kept getting called over from minor league camp and kept impressing manager Buck Showalter. He even hit an opposite field homer off Boston closer Craig Kimbrel. The Orioles skipped Mullins, who played last year for Single-A...

More on Machado's heroics, plus Hays on his power

More on Machado's heroics, plus Hays on his power
New York Yankees right-hander Dellin Betances has allowed three homers in 52 2/3 innings this year and two of them have come the past two nights against the Orioles. Betances made two big mistakes in the ninth last night. First, he walked Tim Beckham to give Manny Machado a chance. And he left a breaking ball up in the zone that Machado could mash. He did. It was a walk-off two-run home run in the last of the ninth as the Orioles, once down 6-1, beat the Yankees 7-6. Machado has three walk-off...

Mark Trumbo's bat heats up, plus minor league playoffs news

Mark Trumbo's bat heats up, plus minor league playoffs news
Mark Trumbo produced his ninth career walk-off hit yesterday, his line drive single to left in the 12th lifting the Orioles to a 5-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Perhaps that hit and some hits in recent games means Trumbo's bat may be coming around down the stretch. He went 3-for-6 Sunday and also hit his 21st homer. In the four-game series he went 8-for-20 with a homer and four RBIs. Trumbo said he's made some good contact up the middle in recent days and feels that's a good sign for...

Trumbo, Tillman, Schoop and more after 12-inning win
As it turned out, the Orioles would not go hitless today with runners in scoring position. They were 0-for-16 when Mark Trumbo batted with runners at first and second and two outs in the 12th inning. Trumbo lined a Danny Barnes 1-0 changeup to left and well beyond the diving attempt of Steve Pearce. Jonathan Schoop scored easily as the Orioles beat Toronto 5-4 with their 11th walk-off win of the year. But before Trumbo could win it, the Orioles were down 4-3 and had to tie it in the ninth...

Three outs from a damaging loss, the Orioles instead pulled out an important win.
