Parker Bridwell talks about facing the Orioles tonight

Parker Bridwell talks about facing the Orioles tonight
ANAHEIM, Calif. - He was selected by the Orioles in the ninth round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft out of a Texas high school. He pitched at every level of their farm system, going 31-43 with an ERA of 4.71. He was ranked among the O's top 25 prospects not once or twice, but seven times. After all that time logged on the Orioles farm working to make the major leagues, right-handed pitcher Parker Bridwell is finally enjoying major league success. But not for the Orioles, but rather the...

Manny Machado came up huge on night one of the road trip

Manny Machado came up huge on night one of the road trip
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Great players make great plays. Given two chances in the seventh inning Monday night to make such plays, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado went 2-for-2. In a 2-2 tie he batted with the bases loaded and two outs and hit a grand slam 423-feet to left field. That was in the top of the inning. In the bottom of the seventh, he made an excellent backhand stop of a hot-smash grounder and turned that into an inning-ending double play. The Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 to...

Manny Machado hits tiebreaking grand slam in win (quotes added)
ANAHEIM, Calif. - On his 26th birthday, Mike Trout hit a huge homer. Moments later, 25-year-old Manny Machado trumped him. With the game tied 2-2 and the bases loaded with two outs in the top of the seventh, Machado hit a rocket grand slam to left to provide a 6-2 lead. The Orioles won by that score tonight over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. They started a 10-game West Coast trip in impressive fashion and moved to within 1 ½ games of the second AL wild card spot. They also get back to...

Buck talks up Schoop and about Beckham's award (game updates)
ANAHEIM, Calif. - During his pregame media session today, Orioles manager Buck Showalter spent some time talking up his middle infielders tonight - second baseman Jonathan Schoop and shortstop Tim Beckham.

He wondered if more praise should be forthcoming for Schoop and if he will be in the hunt for some postseason awards. Here is Buck on Beckham, who went 14-for-24 with three doubles, a triple and three...

Buck Showater remembers Don Baylor (and other notes)
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he was asked to take part in a pre-game ceremony tonight honoring the life of Dan Baylor. The former Oriole and Angel passed away today at 68 after a 14-year battle with multiple myeloma. Baylor spent six of his 19 seasons with the Orioles after they selected him in the second round of the 1967 draft. He was named American League Most Valuable Player with the Angels in 1979, his team losing to the Orioles in the AL Championship Series....

O's Tim Beckham on his Player of the Week award
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Orioles infielder Tim Beckham doesn't seem too interested in trying to analyze his stunning start with the Orioles. But after going 14-for-24 (.583) in his first six games with the team, today Beckham was named the latest American League Player of the Week. One thing that Beckham will credit for some of his success, he's played every day since arriving in Baltimore. "It's a good feeling, man," Beckham said this afternoon in the visiting clubhouse. "It's a good feeling...

With seven wins in nine games, O's begin key road trip tonight
ANAHEIM, Calif. - After a successful end to the homestand with Sunday's 12-3 win over the Tigers, tonight the Orioles begin an important 10-game, 10-day, three-city West Coast road trip. Taken in whole, it will be an important 10 games. If the club can have a winning road trip at 6-4 or better, they will return to Baltimore as an over .500 team. Anything less than that and they will return still under the .500 mark. At 55-56, tonight the Orioles look to get back to the .500 mark for the first...

O's game blog: Ubaldo Jiménez on mound in series finale
If the Orioles can beat Detroit at Camden Yards this afternoon, they will pull within one game of the .500 mark at 55-56. They would also split this four-game series and complete a 5-2 homestand. It would be a nice way to head to the west coast for a 10-game trip beginning Monday night. Coming off back-to-back solid outings, right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez (4-7, 6.56 ERA) gets the start today. In his past two outings against Tampa Bay and Kansas City, Jiménez pitched 13 innings, allowing...

A look at last night's win and other notes

A look at last night's win and other notes
After losing the first two games of the series with the Tigers and losing a one-run lead in the eighth inning on Friday, it felt like a big game for the Orioles last night. It was a big one to win, as they beat the Tigers 5-2 at Oriole Park. Coming into this series, they wanted more than a four-game split, but if they get that today, they will head to the West Coast later this afternoon with some momentum. Wade Miley needed 113 pitches to get through five innings. But at least he put up four...

A five-game win streak has been followed by back-to-back losses to the Detroit Tigers for the Orioles. They host the Tigers tonight in the third game of a four-game series.

Orioles look to bounce back tonight after gut-punch loss

Orioles look to bounce back tonight after gut-punch loss
It is hard to win a game with just two runs, but the Orioles seemed positioned well to do it last night. They took a 2-1 lead behind Kevin Gausman to the top of the eighth. They brought in Mychal Givens, who has been among the best relievers in the game this year. A 1.86 ERA for the season, no runs allowed his previous 12 games, an ERA of 0.60 since late May over 26 games. He's been pitching great. The Orioles had Givens for the eighth and Zach Britton for the ninth, but they never could get...

Justin Upton's grand slam in the eighth stuns O's (quotes added)
That one was tough to take. Orioles starter Kevin Gausman had outdueled Justin Verlander through seven innings and the Orioles turned the game over to their bullpen to protect a one-run late lead. They turned to right-hander Mychal Givens, who has been outstanding, with a 1.86 ERA for the season. He had pitched to a 0.60 ERA over his past 26 games. But he couldn't do it this time. Detroit left fielder Justin Upton hit a first-pitch grand slam to left in the eighth, and the one-run lead and the...

O's game blog: Gausman faces Verlander at Camden Yards
A five-game winning streak now over after Thursday's series opener, the Orioles will try to start a new one tonight. They host the Detroit Tigers in the second game of a four-game series. The Orioles (53-55) last night missed a chance to get back to the .500 mark for the first time since June 29, when they were 39-39. But an early 7-0 deficit was too deep a hole to get out of, and they lost 7-5 to fall to 33-22 at home, 1-3 versus Detroit and 2-1 in August after a 12-14 month of July. Despite...

Catcher Welington Castillo on Miguel Castro's strong outing

Catcher Welington Castillo on Miguel Castro's strong outing
On a night when Chris Tillman struggled again, the Orioles fell behind 7-0 and a winning streak ended, Miguel Castro's performance stood out big time last night. Touching 100 mph with a fastball that averaged 96.3 mph, Castro threw a career-high six innings and allowed just one hit and no runs. He did give up an inherited run, but also settled down to pitch four perfect innings to end his outing. He needed seven pitches in a 1-2-3 fifth and averaged 98.6 mph on his fastball. He got through the...

Adam Jones on criticism O's got over trade deadline moves

Adam Jones on criticism O's got over trade deadline moves
Winning five in a row and 11 of 16 games was not going to undo what two-plus months of poor baseball brought about: a losing record for the Orioles. They have been an under .500 team every day since June 30. But losing last night by a 7-5 score to the Tigers is also not going to wash away the turnaround that the Orioles started to make about two weeks ago. But the team and its management have gotten some criticism for not trading off key players at the non-waiver trade deadline. They are...

Chris Tillman allows seven runs as Detroit wins (quotes added)

Chris Tillman allows seven runs as Detroit wins (quotes added)
As right-hander Chris Tillman struggled badly again tonight and the Orioles trailed 7-0 in the third inning, two questions came to mind: Would this outing knock Tillman from the rotation, and could the team come back from so far down? The first answer will have to wait and the second is no, not tonight. Not quite. Detroit held off the Orioles 7-5 to snap the club's five-game win streak. It was the opener of a four-game series. Tillman's miserable season continued, as he allowed six hits and...

O's game blog: Chris Tillman faces Detroit in series opener
For the first time in more than a month, the Orioles can reach the .500 mark tonight. They were 39-39 on June 29 and have been an under-.500 team since. But a five-game win streak and 11 wins the past 16 games have them at 53-54 heading into tonight's series opener with Detroit. The five-game streak is one shy of a season high. They won six in a row from May 4-9 with one win versus Boston, three against the Chicago White Sox and two against Washington. The Orioles and Tigers open a four-game...

Adam Jones: "The word 'rebuild' is not in my vocabulary"

Adam Jones: "The word 'rebuild' is not in my vocabulary"
It is probably obvious, but as the non-waiver trade deadline approached on Monday, one group that didn't necessarily want the Orioles to look to the future is the current group of players. Some players have told me that they would have understood if the team had started to look to the future. The Orioles were seven games under .500 about two and a half weeks ago. But even after a long stretch of losing baseball, the players insisted they could still make a playoff push. Executive vice...
