Givens on his strong season and getting the band back together

Givens on his strong season and getting the band back together
TORONTO - Orioles reliever Mychal Givens had a very solid 2016 season. He is having an even better 2017. Last year, he went 8-2 with an ERA of 3.13 and a WHIP of 1.272. This season, he is 6-0 with a 2.31 ERA and a WHIP of 1.077. Givens has made dramatic improvement in getting left-handed batters out. Last season, they hit .366 with an OPS of 1.025 against him. This season, those numbers are .174 and .557, respectively. He has even lowered his batting average against versus righty batters from...

O's game blog: O's and Jays meet in series finale
TORONTO - The Orioles have won all three previous series this season against the Toronto Blue Jays. To go 4-for-4 they need to win the rubber match tonight at Rogers Centre. The Orioles won the series opener 3-1 on Tuesday night, but were blanked on five hits 4-0 last night. They were shut out for the fifth time while Toronto pitched its fifth shutout. The Orioles are 3-10 when held to five or fewer hits. Toronto is 37-40, and has lost four of six and seven of 12 games. The Blue Jays are 20-18...

Another slow night on offense, plus more O's notes and quotes

Another slow night on offense, plus more O's notes and quotes
TORONTO - The Orioles offense has been so inconsistent this year that when they fail to score like last night, you figure to put more blame on their hitters than pass on credit to the opposing pitcher. But last night tipping your hat to Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman was probably just fine. He threw a strong game at the Orioles and had them pounding the ball into the Rogers Centre turf. They were held to five hits and struck out 12 times in the 4-0 loss. They have been shut out five...

Wrapping up 4-0 loss by Orioles

Wrapping up 4-0 loss by Orioles
TORONTO - Looking to get back over the .500 mark for the first time since they were 31-30, the Orioles were denied tonight. Mostly by the right arm of a pitcher looking to bounce back from his worst start of the season. Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman blanked them over 7 2/3 innings, as Toronto beat the Orioles 4-0 at Rogers Centre. The O's failed to produce their first four-game road win streak of the year and are 38-39. Stroman gave up seven runs in four innings his last time out against...

Stroman shuts down Orioles as Blue Jays win 4-0

Stroman shuts down Orioles as Blue Jays win 4-0
TORONTO - The Orioles did well against Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman last year when he posted a 7.04 ERA against Baltimore in four starts. But it was a different story tonight in front of 38,847 at Rogers Centre. Stroman pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings as Toronto beat the Orioles 4-0 to improve to 37-40 while dropping Baltimore back under the .500 mark at 38-39. The right-hander was pretty dominant, allowing just five singles - no runner even reached second base while he was in the game....

Hyun Soo Kim reacts to Pagan's sentencing (O's down 4-0)

Hyun Soo Kim reacts to Pagan's sentencing (O's down 4-0)
TORONTO - Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim was back in the spotlight today - and not for the right reason. The man that threw a beer can at him last October from the Rogers Centre left field stands was sentenced in Toronto this morning. For throwing that can that just missed hitting Kim as was making a catch in deep left, Ken Pagan was given 12 months of probation and 200 hours of community service while being banned from Major League Baseball games for a year. During that time, he cannot go...

Pregame notes on Tillman, Britton and more

Pregame notes on Tillman, Britton and more
TORONTO - Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman threw a bullpen session here earlier today and is now headed back to Baltimore, where his wife is expecting a baby at any time. For now, Tillman is still scheduled to start Friday's opener of the series with the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park. If he has to leave the team before that, right-hander Dylan Bundy, currently slated to pitch Saturday, would be moved up to Friday's start. Meanwhile, O's closer Zach Britton will have his fifth of seven...

O's game blog: Wade Miley faces the Jays at Rogers Centre
TORONTO - A win here tonight would give the Orioles (38-38) an over-.500 record and their longest winning streak since they took six in a row from May 4-9. The Orioles' 3-1 win here Tuesday night was their third in a row, their longest win streak since taking three straight May 31-June 2. The Orioles also have a three-game road winning streak and they have not won four in a row on the road all season. In the second game of this series tonight, left-hander Wade Miley (3-5, 4.48 ERA) will try to...

Notes on Schoop's strong bat, Gausman's outing and Akin's gem

Notes on Schoop's strong bat, Gausman's outing and Akin's gem
TORONTO - Second baseman Jonathan Schoop continued his breakout season last night at Rogers Centre. The Orioles scored three runs in the first two innings in beating Toronto 3-1, with Schoop right in the middle of it. He contributed a single to start a first-inning two-run rally and crushed a double with an exit velocity of 113 mph and scored a run in the second. Schoop is batting .298 with 15 homers, 48 RBIs and an OPS of .902 for the season. In June he is batting .344/.410/.688 with eight...

Gausman, three relievers pitch O's past Blue Jays (quotes added)

Gausman, three relievers pitch O's past Blue Jays (quotes added)
TORONTO - Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman ran some deep pitch counts. He didn't get deep in this game. But he also didn't give up any runs, with an assist from the bullpen and his catcher. Gausman threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings tonight as the Orioles beat Toronto 3-1 in front of 40,606 at Rogers Centre to start a three-game series. The Orioles move back to .500 at 38-38 and move two games ahead of Toronto for fourth place in the American League East. They are 8-2 versus the Blue Jays on the...

Showalter on O'Day's milestone strikeout (O's lead 3-0)

Showalter on O'Day's milestone strikeout (O's lead 3-0)
TORONTO - Since he returned Friday from the disabled list, Orioles reliever Darren O'Day has pitched two scoreless innings. He threw one on Friday against Tampa Bay and one more on Sunday. He needed just 20 pitches, 15 strikes to get those six outs. It is nice to have him back in the late innings for the Orioles. An Oriole since the 2012 season, O'Day reached some nice round career numbers on Sunday. He is now 35-15 with an ERA of 2.47 in 10 big league seasons. And he has now pitched exactly...

Pregame notes on Bundy and Britton's schedules

Pregame notes on Bundy and Britton's schedules
TORONTO - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that right-hander Dylan Bundy's next start has been set for Saturday at home against Tampa Bay. Bundy would be pitching on six days' rest after facing the Rays last Saturday at Tropicana Field. A complicating factor is that Chris Tillman's wife is expecting a baby any day now. Tillman could leave the club at any time and the rotation plans may have to be changed. For now, Bundy is getting a couple of extra days between starts, but that could be...

Dylan Bundy on getting extra rest in upcoming starts

Dylan Bundy on getting extra rest in upcoming starts
TORONTO - After a recent two-start stretch where he gave up 10 earned runs over 9 1/3 innings and his ERA jumped from 3.05 to 3.72, the Orioles decided to give right-hander Dylan Bundy some extra rest. He made his last start on regular rest and pitched well on Saturday against Tampa Bay. He gave up three runs over seven innings to improve to 8-6 with a 3.73 ERA through 16 starts. But with more than half of the 2017 season still to play, Bundy is at 99 innings. He threw a total of 109 2/3 last...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman pitches series opener
TORONTO - The Orioles have had just one winning record in the last 11 season series in Toronto and they might have a chance to do that this year. In 2015, they went 3-6 at Toronto, and last year they went 4-6. The Orioles posted a winning season series mark at Rogers Centre in 2014, going 5-4. Tonight they play their second of three series here this year. They went 3-1 in April at Rogers Centre and have won all three series against Toronto this season, going 7-2 in nine games.

Manto's takes, Mancini's homers and Gausman's split usage

Manto's takes, Mancini's homers and Gausman's split usage
Several batters with Single-A Frederick have been thriving this year. The Keys lead the Carolina League in batting average (.272), rank fourth in OBP (.331), first in slugging (.428) and fourth in runs scored. Three Keys position players - shortstop Ryan Mountcastle and outfielders Austin Hays and Randolph Gassaway - made the Carolina League All-Star team. Orioles minor league hitting coordinator Jeff Manto made an interesting observation of those hitters during a recent interview. He pointed...

Looking back on a road series win, Crichton rides the shuttle

Looking back on a road series win, Crichton rides the shuttle
For the first time since the Orioles took two of three at Cincinnati April 18-20, they have won a road series. By taking the last two games at Tropicana Field, the Orioles win a series away from Camden Yards. Now can they get two in a row? The Orioles scored 16 runs and hit six homers the last two days in back-to-back wins over Tampa Bay. Even after going through a stretch in which they went 13-27 over 40 games, the Orioles find themselves just four games out of first place this morning. New...

After a solid win Saturday, now can O's win a road series?

After a solid win Saturday, now can O's win a road series?
They got some clutch hits late in the game and they held an opponent to three runs. So Saturday was a good day for the Orioles as they beat Tampa Bay 8-3 for just their second road win 15 games. They are still two games under .500 at 36-38 and have lost 28 of 42 games since May 10. The way their starting rotation has been pitching, there is no hint that the club is about to make a dramatic turnaround. But for one day they looked good. Now we see if they can do it again. A win today at Tropicana...

O's game blog: Hitting notes heading into Game 2 (O's win 8-3)
The Orioles have been losing a lot lately, while Tampa Bay has been winning lately. The Orioles will try to reverse that trend this afternoon at Tropicana Field. The Orioles (35-38) have lost four of five and 22 of their past 32 games. Tampa Bay (40-36) is a season-high four games over .500 after winning five of six and 11 of its past 16 games. Tampa Bay is 10-3 in its last 13 home games. The Orioles send right-hander Dylan Bundy (7-6, 3.72 ERA) to the mound for his 16th start. After recording...
