Fred Manfra on wrapping up 25 years in O's radio booth

Fred Manfra on wrapping up 25 years in O's radio booth
He is a kid from Baltimore that did good. Real good. But after today, life will be very different for longtime Orioles broadcaster Fred Manfra as he heads into retirement. It is possible he could be asked to call an occasional game or two later at some point, but a 25-year Orioles broadcasting career comes to a close with this afternoon's game at Camden Yards. Manfra and his wife Marlene are moving to Tampa, Fla., to be near his daughter Stephanie, her husband Beck, and Manfra's 3-year-old...

David Price with a strong start as Boston wins 5-2 (quotes added)

David Price with a strong start as Boston wins 5-2 (quotes added)
The Orioles struggled to get to left-hander David Price tonight. When they finally did and cut their two-run deficit to one, Boston added two keys runs in the eighth off struggling right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez. The late runs, Hanley Ramirez's three-RBI night and Price's strong outing helped Boston secure a 5-2 win tonight in front of 35,470 at Camden Yards. And they have a chance to even the four-game series on Sunday afternoon. Down four runs in the ninth, the Orioles actually brought the...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces David Price at Camden Yards
As the Orioles and Red Sox play Game 3 of a four-game series tonight, a marquee pitching matchup is being featured at Camden Yards. Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy (6-3, 2.89 ERA) faces 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner David Price (0-0, 5.40 ERA). Price is making his second start of the year, coming back from elbow issues which delayed his start to the season. In Chicago on Monday, he pitched five innings against the White Sox, giving up two hits and three runs on 88 pitches. In two...

O's Brad Brach on his latest save and club's strong AL East record

O's Brad Brach on his latest save and club's strong AL East record
Orioles reliever Brad Brach is getting locked in again. Over his last five outings, he has pitched five hitless and scoreless innings, with American League hitters going 0-for-15 against him with seven strikeouts. Last night, Brach saved the Orioles' 3-2 win over Boston with an 1-2-3 top of the ninth on just 11 pitches. He threw nothing but fastballs between 95 and 97 mph to get Andrew Benintendi to fly out on one pitch and Xander Bogaerts to do the same on six pitches. But then he threw three...

O's Trey Mancini has been an impressive all-fields hitter

O's Trey Mancini has been an impressive all-fields hitter
The Orioles' Trey Mancini had two very different months to begin this season. In April, he hit five homers in 51 at-bats, but his batting average was .216. In May he hit two homers in 73 at-bats, but his batting average was .342. The longer he plays a picture is emerging of a pretty well-rounded hitter. One that is hitting for a good batting average (.297 in 140 plate appearances) while also showing the ability to hit the ball to all fields. This spray chart shows that Mancini is driving the...

Manny Machado on long homer, Alec Asher on outing and ovation

Manny Machado on long homer, Alec Asher on outing and ovation
On the night he blasted a 465-foot home run into the second deck at Camden Yards, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado said right-hander Alec Asher was the biggest key to a 3-2 win over Boston. "We won the game because of how Alec went out there and did his job. He pitched a helluva game and kept us in the game," Machado said. Asher did indeed pitch a strong game, allowing two runs and three hits over 6 1/3 innings to get his second O's win. The offense gave him an early 2-0 lead on first...

Alec Asher pitches the Orioles past Boston 3-2

Alec Asher pitches the Orioles past Boston 3-2
Well, giving right-hander Alec Asher another start turned out to be a pretty good thought by the Orioles. Rebounding from Sunday's outing, where he allowed six runs over two innings at Houston, Asher pitched the Orioles to a 3-2 win over Boston tonight in front of 33,193 at Camden Yards Retiring the side in order four times, Asher went 6 1/3 innings allowing three hits and two runs, one of which scored after he left the game. He did not walk a batter and fanned five. Asher is now 2-3 with an...

O's game blog: Alec Asher gets the start in Game 2 versus Boston
It won't get them a prize or anything or have much meaning on June 2, but the Orioles could move past Boston into second in the AL East standings with a win tonight. They hit four homers in beating the Red Sox 7-5 last night to open a four-game series. The Yankees lead Boston by three games and the Orioles by 3 1/2 atop the division. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, last night marked the fifth game this season in which the Orioles hit at least four home runs, tied with the Astros and...

Notes on the offense and O's strong play in AL East

Notes on the offense and O's strong play in AL East
For the Orioles offense, there was no June swoon last year. The opposite, in fact. The Orioles went 19-9 last June despite a team ERA that was 4.85. They did it with offense. A lot of it. They began June 2017 with a lot of offense. The Orioles hit four homers last night in a 7-5 win over Boston. Can the Orioles have another big June with the bats? Let's look at last year. O's batting for the year: .256 average, .317 OBP, .443 slugging, 4.59 runs/gm, 1.56 homers/game O's batting last June:...

Trumbo and Schoop on the offense, Miley on his outing
In the seven games that preceeded Wednesday's game, the Orioles scored 15 total runs and were shut out twice. The last two nights they've bashed six homers, scoring 17 runs in back-to-back wins over the Yankees and Red Sox. The Orioles hit four homers tonight off former O's farmhand Eduardo Rodriguez as they bashed their way to a 7-5 win in the series opener against Boston. Mark Trumbo's two-run homer in the first off a 93 mph Rodriguez fastball got the bashing started and provided Wade...

O's mash four homers and beat Boston 7-5 in series opener
This was no way to treat a former teammate. Or maybe it was the best way to treat an American League East rival. Former Orioles minor league left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez was pounded for four homers tonight, as the Orioles beat the Red Sox 7-5 to open a four-game series at Camden Yards. After going through a seven-game stretch where the Orioles hit .199 as a team and scored 2.1 runs per game, they've scored 17 the last two nights against Yankees and Red Sox pitchers. The Red Sox turned a...

O's game blog: Wade Miley pitches series opener against Boston
For the fourth time this season, the Orioles are playing the Boston Red Sox. They open a four-game series tonight that runs through Sunday at Oriole Park. The Orioles split two games in Boston in early April and later in the month took two of three in Baltimore. They played four in Boston May 1-4 and split that series at Fenway Park. The Orioles are 5-4 against the Red Sox for the season, 2-1 at home. Since the 2012 season, they are 59-44 (.573). At home since the start of the 2016 season, the...

Asher on getting another start, Joseph on catching E-Rod
After his short outing in Houston on Sunday, right-hander Alec Asher had to wait a couple of days to find out if he would get another chance in the Orioles rotation. He will. Asher will start at Camden Yards on Friday night against Boston. "It's great. It was disappointing what happened that last start. It happens, but I'll go back out there tomorrow and go at it again," he said this afternoon. Asher threw 54 pitches Sunday at Minute Maid Park, gaving up six hits, six runs and one homer as...

Feeling a draft: The Orioles have four of the top 100 selections

Feeling a draft: The Orioles have four of the top 100 selections
After he heads out to scout an NCAA regional tournament this weekend, Orioles scouting director Gary Rajsich will head to the warehouse at Camden Yards for about a week's worth of meetings leading up to another First-Year Player Draft. This will be Rajsich's sixth draft with the Orioles. He took right-hander Kevin Gausman with his initial first-round pick (No. 4 overall) in 2012 and right-hander Cody Sedlock (No. 27 overall) with his top pick last June. He has taken pitchers with four of his...

O's game blog: Gausman faces Tanaka in series finale (O's win 10-4)

O's game blog: Gausman faces Tanaka in series finale (O's win 10-4)
The Orioles face Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (5-4, 5.86 ERA) tonight in the third and final game of this series between AL East rivals. Tonight's game will start at 7:15 p.m. after a very short rain delay. Tanaka has had a wild last three starts. Before he pitched on Friday against Oakland and threw very well, he had back-to-back terrible starts versus Houston and Tampa Bay. In those two games he gave up 16 hits and 14 runs and allowed a staggering seven home runs in just 4 2/3...

For the Orioles, the recent hitting and pitching stats are equally bad

For the Orioles, the recent hitting and pitching stats are equally bad
When trying to size up whether the pitching or offense has been the bigger issue during a run where the Orioles are 1-8, it is a tough choice. Both have been poor. Let's start with the pitching and start with the starters. Over the last eight games, the rotation ERA is 7.09 and O's pitchers have thrown five or fewer innings five times. While Dylan Bundy gave the team seven strong innings Monday night, Alec Asher went just two innings in the game that preceded that and Chris Tillman 2 2/3...

Chris Tillman says he is physically fine after start against Yankees

Chris Tillman says he is physically fine after start against Yankees
As his ERA went up and his usual number of innings pitched went down tonight, one obvious question for Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman was about his shoulder. He didn't make his first start this season until May 7. Tonight he gave up seven hits and five runs over 2 2/3 innings as the New York Yankees hammered the Orioles 8-3 to drop Baltimore 4 1/2 games out in the American League East. Tillman got a platelet-rich plasma injection in his shoulder in December and a cortisone injection in...

Chris Tillman knocked out early as Yankees win 8-3

Chris Tillman knocked out early as Yankees win 8-3
It had to be at least a bit concerning to the Orioles when Chris Tillman gave up four early runs in his last start against Minnesota and lasted just five innings. But he had a rougher outing tonight. Tillman gave up solo homers to two of the first three batters he faced and allowed five runs over 2 2/3 innings. The Yankees went on to an 8-3 win to even the series at a victory each. Brett Gardner and Matt Holliday each hit two solo homers as New York scored two in the first, one in the second,...

The Orioles tonight host the New York Yankees in the second game of a three-game series. Monday's 3-2 win ended the Orioles' seven-game losing streak and a seven-game losing streak in one-run decisions. At 29-19, New York is leading the American League East by three games over Boston, 3 1/2 games over Baltimore, four games over Tampa Bay and 6 1/2 games over Toronto.

Logan Verrett on riding the shuttle and his slider usage

Logan Verrett on riding the shuttle and his slider usage
When 26-year-old right-hander Logan Verrett was selected by the Orioles in the December 2014 Rule 5 draft, he had hopes of making the O's roster for the 2015 season. But he didn't make it to opening day that year and wasn't on the opening day roster this year, either. But he was recalled Sunday from Triple-A Norfolk for the third time this year. After staying just one day for the first time (recalled April 30) and four days the second (recalled May 6), maybe his stay will be longer now. He...
